I would like to agree with you, but apathy runs deep in the Republican voters. I didn't know the man personally, but I was greatly impressed with what he said and did. In fact he was so successful in combating liberalism the Democrats decided that he had to be murdered and acted accordingly. Will conservatives start knocking off prominent socialists like AOC, Ilan Omar, Jasmine Crock-o-shit, Chris Murphy, Fauxcahantas, etc. very probably not. Though I think socialists deserve to reap what they sow, conservatives are too law abiding and moral to go knocking off the opposition.
I have been wondering... how far up the (political) ladder this goes.
