I do not support political killings. Given this, I will say our country is better off without him alive and no longer spreading his hateful toxic talking points. Do I support political murder? Absolutely not. Am I glad he is dead? Oh hell yes! These two statements are not mutually exclusive to each other. I would have been even more thrilled if it were an automobile accident. But somehow I feel the left would still receive the blame for something. Fucking thrilled he is dead. Do I want more of his kind dead? A most definite & resounding yes. But, NOT BY MURDER! Let the gods of nature do their thing. I will call upon dark spirits to do some bidding of destruction on the far right. No one can really prove this type of thing legally.
If you look at history, there has never been a period of significant change without significant bloodshed.
The powers that be have been conditioning us for generations to believe that "violence isn't the answer" so we can't effectively challenge their power.
Nonviolence can change things. Take the civil rights movement or any union strike. Not to say there wasn’t bloodshed, but violence wasn’t the main driver for change.

I’m down for the violence. But not unhinged murder. The USA takes out important individuals in key positions. We just don’t make show of it.
