The murder of the united healthcare CEO, or more specifically, the positive reaction towards it, seems rather associated with the left, doesn't it?

People who want a certain party to be in power should hold that party to a higher standard. Independent of the party. Being "better than the others" is not good enough.

No, not really.

Harris vs Trump voters who...

Approve: 5-11% vs 2-8%

Neither approve nor disapprove: 6-12% vs 7-13%

Disapprove: 65-71% vs 72-78%

Not sure: 6-12% vs 4-10%

Not a super substantial difference. The outrage machine wins again!

  • so the data shows that the left's approval of the murder is 37% higher on the low end up to a max of 5x higher (depending on how the confidence intervals map to reality).

    And that that the left is anywhere from 20% to 3x more likely to be undecided about the morality of an assassination.

  • That data is super helpful.

    From browsing Reddit, my impression was that the left strongly approved.

    • Terminally online not-rich people across the spectrum approved. Other not-rich people seem to land in the "vaguely disapprove" realm IMO. Obviously the plutocrats are all terrified and think it's the worst crime ever.

  • So among Harris voters, the assassination was about as popular as a Trump policy. And yet here we have people trying to say it's popular among lefties. We do not deserve nice things.

Not even close. Ben Shapiro and Matt Walsh have been blasted by their own fans and viewers for criticising Luigi Mangioni.
