Shocked its so low
People aren't exactly gonna tell a random stranger and probable Fed that they support murder even if it's really based
It's not illegal to say you believe Brian Robert Thompson deserved to die. Hell, you could, perfectly legally, file paperwork to hold a parade in Luigi's honor, right through the heart of DC. It's illegal to make death threats, but it's perfectly legal to express support for someone being killed.
With the incoming administration, I don't want to be on record as saying that.
Then they've already won.
Also, the executive branch does not make or enforce legislation.

Alternatively, keeping your real opinions close in a hostel climate means you have more freedom to act on it. There's a reason that revolutions are planned out of sight of the authorities.

If only Trump knew that. Well, his advisors know that and packed the courts.
And yet... You just went on record saying it on a federated platform.
Not attached to my real name and not in an easily complied format. It's possible that lemmy is a just a big honeypot, but I doubt it.
I don't have a problem with speaking my mind in certain situations, but I'm not outing myself in some survey that counts for nothing.
Why not? Feds support murder, certainly. Heck, the Constitution supports murder: it establishes an Army.
When they do it, not us peasants.
after the Nov 5th display of oligarch worshipping, maybe not as surprising it isn't higher
Shit was rigged, you know they made the question something insane to get more people to not agree with the killing.
Do you think the actions of the killer of the United Healthcare CEO are acceptable or unacceptable?
I've seen worse phrasing for survey questions.
O damn that's actually not worded to bad. I expected way worse than that.
Exactly. The question should have been, "did the CEO deserve to die?" It was likely, "was the killing acceptable?" It's perfectly possible to believe the bastard had it coming without thinking one person has the right to be judge, jury, and executioner.

Apparently it was basically that, was it acceptable ot unacceptable.
I'm genuinely shocked... Maybe they didn't want to go on record saying it because they were concerned about backlash.
