Wife and I were talking about this last night. If he is assassinated by another country, then that is "just cause" for war to be declared which could just allow him to impose ungodly more insane policies. If someone internal to the US kills him, media spin will be its left vs. right. We are generally in a pretty fucked situation we "let ourselves" get into.

Problem with that line of thinking is that it presumes they won't do those things anyway. If they want just cause, they just declare it. If anyone to the left in any way does anything, it's a seditious partisan act by the extreme left and very likely a justifiable use for the insurrection act.

Concerning ourselves with how they'll take things is putting our actions under their review. Preemptively bending to their will before they even express it out of fear of how they might react.

If they're going to call you radical and extreme, you may as well enjoy the benefits rather than try to appease them.
