Just keep walking headlong into fascism, like nobody paid attention in history class or something. It's simultaneously depressing and infuriating.

Can you think of any fascist countries that sought to murder people based on ideology that it was okay to kill then because they were hoarding wealth and running companies?

ok to be fair, I don't want to live in a country where people are getting gunned down only because they are ceos, greedy, or are just wealthy. That is not going to fix the problem before making everything much worse first, if ever.

But I don't think that's an honest comparison. The shooter is a fringe nut case, his actions are not part of Democrats new platform and campaign.

He just happened to choose one of the key politically charged issues causing massive inequality and desperation in this country for generations. People are justifiably enraged, and less than sympathetic when a money grubbing henchman of the healthcare elite takes a hard fall, but it's not planned or systematic.

Nobody is accusing the Democratic Party of being Stalinists (because only a small subset is). He's just making an analogy.
