    Calling him the “no kings” hitman kind of implies he is on the left but it doesn’t seem like that’s what you meant. I imagine that’s why you’re getting downvoted

      If people can’t understand that he struck on no kings day and he attacked the left and the downvote button makes them feel smart again, so be it.

      You can lead a horse to a wiki article, but you can’t make it read.

        This really should be a “I see how it could be interpreted that way, I could have phrased that better” moment. Your use of language was just atypical, I doubt people think they’re smart for downvoting it. Calling him the “no kings hitman” implies he’s a hitman associated with the rallies or a hitman sent to kill the organizers.

        If someone murdered a politician on MLK day, would you call them the MLK hitman? Probably not
