There will be assassination attempts on Biden as a result of this event. When they happen, how would you want 'the right' to react?

Let's take the high road.

This implies that how we react to this will have any bearing whatsoever on how the right will treat us. It won't. They will be as mean to us as they can physically manage, regardless of how we act, because they hate us.

You Go High, We Go Low.

Yes although I'm more troubled by what we do *to ourselves* when we imply that sometimes political assassination is ok. On the left, integrity matters not because the opponents might one day be swayed by it but because without it we have already become what we fight against.
