American public figures I follow are all like "political violence is bad," "my thoughts are with his family," etc.

I get it, you're public figures, you "have to" say such things. However, it also sounds like you're not fully realizing in what state your country is. You're way past rhetorical grand ideas about political violence.

@evan@cosocial.ca Yes but as long as it's justified and not a pissing contest of a coke vs pepsi silliness.
