Apparently we aren't allowed to call it that anymore cause it might incite people to behave like Republicans

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/1-in-5-americans-think-violence-may-solve-u-s-divisions-poll-finds this one is probably mostly people who want to run over protestors, however

A nationwide poll last month found that 10 percent of those surveyed said the “use of force is justified to prevent Donald Trump from becoming president.”

Yamagami not only succeeded but survived too

[-] waluigiblunts@hexbear.net 23 points 4 months ago

that's because the american one was adventurism while the other one wasn't. the Japanese assassination had wide popular support and led to lasting reform, which proves that the action was not adventurism at all. but with the attempted assassination on trump, nothing will fundamentally change.

[-] MaeBorowski@hexbear.net 25 points 4 months ago

Nah, the Abe assassination was still adventurism. It was still a single person acting alone and not as part of any organization. It's a fortunate turn of events that the action ended up being appreciated enough that some reform happened as a result, but that was not a predictable outcome. In fact, the would-be Trump assassin had reason to believe he would have had a ton of popular support had he succeeded, given the Trump=Hitler and must be stopped at any cost rhetoric (if not action) by liberals. Both of them were definitely adventurisms.

[-] Speaker@hexbear.net 18 points 4 months ago

So what I'm hearing is we need to do more adventurism just in case after the fact it turns out not to have been adventurism. knight-nod
