Ingonna be honest. Trump is a danger to democracy and to the world as a whole. Eliminating him would be a contribution to democracy. However, if you decide to go for him, make sure hes really dead. If he just gets hurt that’s a Hufe win for him, because he then can use this attack to deploy a massive anti democratic campaign giving him more Attention.
However, violence should be the lädt option. There are other ways to defeat fascism. Make it possible that the average person can have a good life and don’t copy fascists points. In the case of Trump the USA also missed its chance to ban him from the elections.
I think that
If they managed to kill trump
You’ll just get someone else with the same ideas except they aren’t a bumbling idiot
Making them a worse threat
The problem with taking down Fascism with violence is that you’re just killing the figureheads, not the fascist ideas. Say that the assassination attempt was successful - he’d become a martyr who would strengthen those beliefs in people (they want to take us down because we’re right type of deal), and his legacy would be easily continued by thousands of influential conservative politicians/foundation members.
Also, political assassination doesn’t exactly scream “upholding democracy”. If you believe in democracy, you shouldn’t want to see a political opponent lose an election for any reason other than the election itself.
Unfortunately, if a politician is trying to undermine that democracy, disenfranchise citizens, and break the checks and balances system, then democracy itself might not be enough to save democracy.
Democracy only works if the other side is fighting fair.
