    The idea isn’t to overthrow a government, although that would be nice.

    If one man losing an election can protect so many, surely a more proactive approach would be the best move?

      Political violence rarely stabilizes anything, and dead politicians often become martyrs. If you’re advocating assassination, you might as well go the whole nine yards and advocate civil war because that’s where the dominos are gonna fall once political violence is normalized - or else fascism, if the public has no appetite for civil war.
