I vehemently disagree with that argument on the grounds I'd be just as horrified if it was Kamala's life being threatened. When you live in a democratic society and you go for murder as your FIRST option to deal with a politician you don't like, the would be assassin is wrong, not who they want to kill.
I get it, people despise Trump and are afraid of him getting another four years as President. Fine, not very thrilled with him (or Kamala) myself, would love better options, but we are stuck between two chairs here. Anyone who thinks the solution is to destroy one of the chairs when they can simply pick one of them is a criminal worthy of contempt.
That said, the idiots trying this madness, they are just giving Trump more publicity and hardening his base. Malcom X once said if we didn't have the ballot, we'd need to resort to the bullet. We still have the ballot, so I condemn the use of the bullet no matter the target.
