      Yes… Because a generally liked pop singer and a highly controversial world leader have the same likelihood for being assassinated.

        If you don’t think Taylor Swift is under absolutely constant threat of assault and kidnapping then I have an incel in Brooklyn to sell you.

        Clout assassinations have been a thing for decades, John Lennon was murdered back in the 1980.

          Ok so that’s 1 for assassinated pop stars… And a couple hundred assassinated world leaders. Or 4 presidents if you wanna limit yourself to just the US and it’s relatively short history.

            You really want to go down that road? Because I’m sure there’s a Wikipedia article that could show you a lot more attempted assassinations for pop stars than presidents /world leaders
