    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
