Cursitor Doom has enclosed that in quotes as if it were a direct quote 
from the Zero Hedge piece. It isn't.

Democrats aren't "fine" about murdering a political opponent. 17% of 
them may think that America would be better off of Trump had died, which 
merely means that they haven't heard of the Pim Fortyn effect, where the 
assassination in the Netherlands of a pretty inept politician got a 
bunch of his even more inept colleague elected (with unfortunate effect, 
though they screwed up badly enough to force a new election within a year).

It doesn't mean that they approve of assassination as a political action.

No Democrat has ever "approved of killing their opponents, cheating in 
and rigging elections, overturning the Constitution, and the stealth 
assassination of supreme court judges, interns, and anyone else who 
might oppose their diabolical agenda."

That's merely a far-right-wing accusation, based a very strange point of 
view, which does excuse Trump's attempts to set aside the results of the 
2020 presidential election as if it were a legitimate attempt to 
exercise the power of the presidency.

Cursitor Doom does post his political fantasies as if they were facts, 
but in this case he's going even further than usual.
