He did (at least) one good thing in life, and people feel the need to smear him…

As a thought exercise: if he succeeded, doesn’t that only further incite the right, convince them that they are fighting the holy fight, and accelerate violence against the citizenry?

I don’t like Trump either so I get the feeling behind the message, but I don’t see any universe where a successful assassination attempt is a net positive for the country. Seems like it only furthers division and probably leads to a worse place overall.

Would love to know how I’m wrong though.

I feel like somehow this assessment focuses heavily on speculation and ignores a very key fact in that scenario. Trump would no longer be able to be president. And we don't really know what violence they'd commit exactly. I think it's pretty sure there would be violence... But why are you assuming it would be widespread and against innocent people? And again it's like Trump being gone is not even worth mentioning
