    the shooting was a reasonable response

    Well, yes, but it was also an ineffective response. The problem isn’t that Trump is the head of the party, it’s the party. Trump isn’t some magic irreplaceable leader, and a recursive solution isn’t sustainable.

    PS: (I said “it’s the party”, but that’s not true either. The problem goes further than that; the entire system is rigged)

    (Also, to be extra clear, violence is not merely justified but inevitably necessary, but randomly assassinating leaders isn’t a viable strategy)
