I strongly oppose many of President Trump’s policies and believe they have caused real harm and suffering. That disagreement, however, does not justify violence.
Apparent assassination attempts against him, and the disturbing wave of social media comments regretting that those attempts failed, are unacceptable. I do not wish physical harm on any person, regardless of their politics. Celebrating or hoping for the violent death of political opponents – at the hand of another human – crosses a fundamental moral line.
We can – and should – debate ideas, criticise decisions, and compete fiercely in elections, but we must reject violence and the dehumanisation that leads to it. No one deserves to be assassinated. Disagreement is not a license for brutality.
Now for what I really want…
I’d be overjoyed if he were to pass peacefully in his sleep. This year would be good.
