Go ahead and provide some statistics on how many lemmy users are actively advocating for political assassinations. I can point you to the post where we have prominent conservative leaders advocating for political violence, oh and we can visit r/conservative over at reddit too because, whew, talk about some advocating violence, damn.
As for you whole decrying authoritarianism, one can point out how Kash M. Money is a overtly partisan and non-trustworthy, incompetent actor that will push his and Republicans political view in regardless of the facts of the case to blame the left. Something that he's made clear he would use the office for, punishing political enemies with or without evidence.
So no, I'm not going to help out a fascist bad actor in any case including this one because I 100% do not believe that he will use the information in good faith. Also, I did my part because I have no clue who this guy is.
And as for your question/statement about the most violent political party is also a bunch of BS considering, again, I can point you to a party that's actively and publicly calling for "war" against the left for "avenging" one of their own with absolutely no proof of the motivations of the suspect.
ETA: law enforcement apparently pushed a bulletin containing false information that the bullets had trans and anti-facist sentiments etched into them to journalists. So yeah, about that whole trust the federal agencies to investigate here.
