Dude don't waste your death on a splat, buy a sniper rifle and at least try an assassination attempt. You can always have a live grenade or side arm if you screw up and have to off yourself.... But I mean, at least take some pot shots at him or a crony before you leave.

Just to make sure there's no chilling effect on any Americans who watched that link: It is in fact perfectly and absolutely legal for you to say you want to kill the president. The above linked video was just a skit.

(Further info on this is available in this legal advice Reddit thread.). Basically it only becomes questionable when it poses a reasonable threat, or contributes to evidence of a credible threat.

So I'm just saying; the more realistic and actualized your plans are, the quieter and more secretive you should be with them! All the way up to the glorious date you carry out your plans! ...and you control when that date is! Wouldn't that be exciting?

Anyways, I just think there are certain ideas worth popularizing and trying to get into the popular imagination, and this is one of them (all your plans coming together like a well oiled and maintained rifle. Perhaps from the arsenal of a well-regulated militia). Hey maybe one chosen one will do us all a favor and accept the mission.

We all have to take a shot at the things we believe in right? Sorry for typing so much... I guess I must have an itchy trigger finger.

Someone should kill the president of the us and his wife Elon.

I'm not saying these people don't deserve it, but what good does it do? Wouldn't it be better to, IDK, kidnap them in order to exchange them for actual human rights? Like, giving away your freedom and potentially your life in exchange for a bill for a public health system?

The original suggestion certainly seems like a way for a single person to have more impact.

My understanding is there are marginal cases where violence is the answer, but I suspect this isn't one of them because of succession.

I'm guessing the black SUVs are en route.

For anti-DEI purposes, they don't send black SUVs anymore.
