At least when the target is generally regarded as evil by 90% of people. Just look at the front page of reddit, it's wall to wall shitting on UHC and being oddly supportive of violence for civility liberals (i'm assuming the astroturfers don't have a coherent line yet)

    I've been seeing this incident spawn a lot of discourse about political and social violence which seems to be causing some "progressive Libs" suddenly have oddly materialist takes. Even r/neoliberal had some people discussing the brutal reality of the health insurance industry and the failure of the US system to do anything about it (while condemning the violence of course).

    We can't say anything for sure yet but it does seem like this incident has triggered something in some people.

      I guess I've seen it before enough times to know the libs always fall back in line eventually. By this time next week they'll all be "the rule of law" and "yes we need change but that's why you vote this isn't the way". Nothing ever happens it's always the same shit forever without actual organizing.
