I think the weirdest fallout of the assassination attempt was the number of people frustrated that the shooter missed. What a strange, horrifying reaction that in some circles is completely normalised. I think we should be questioning ourselves closely when the potential death of another human, even one we fundamentally disagree with, is something we wish for. Would be an interesting thing to explore further.
Good piece, Charlotte. Lots of questions. No political rhetoric.
Thank you. 🙏 Hope you’re having a good summer and more focused on your new novels than the news!

I agree. Though I can also see why some would want this.
It’s hard, but I’m trying. 😒
