Yeah, no, after Charlie Kirk was assassinated (and a few lesser-known political figures who immediately became household names post-Charlie Kirk to keep some kind of gross political peropaganda balance), I was immediately fearful that this would be the start of a new trend. But, has there been anything since? It seems like everyone is too afraid of the government cracking down on them to do anything, and that's a good thing. Now, the 1/5 of every tax dollar the US government takes in goes to servicing the national debt, another 1.5/5 goes to medicare, and another 1/5 goes to social security, and 1/5 goes to fighting ongoing wars, that leaves 500 billion dollars "spending money" to try to keep the peace.
