Spanish rightwing politician shot in face in Madrid(www.theguardian.com)

No, you said right wing in the context of Spain, of which there has been only one single incident since the 1980s, and no one was hurt or killed in that singular instance.

Violence is very much not in the equation in the context you yourself mentioned.

The national police did nothing wrong during the catalan referendum and riots. No politicians are advocating for the genocide of refugees by sending them back to the opressive regimes they’re escaping from. No politicians are advocating for the genocide of queer people by spreading harmful retoric that leads them to suicide. There are no apologists of the Franco regime in the government.

Wasn’t a far-right thing.

Executing politicians would not solve this. It would instead make the anti immigration crowd violent.

Spain is one of the world leaders in LGBTQ+ freedom. There is too much pro LGBTQ+ support here to make this a viable campaign platform. Making martyrs out of anti LGBTQ+ politicians will boost support for anti LGBTQ+ stances, not lower it.

There are no apologists of the Franco regime in the government.

And those government officials are about as popular as holocaust deniers at a bah mitzvah. Franco apologism is literally illegal here.

yeah because using the state’s police to violently attack people that are literally just going to vote doesn’t sound fascist at all

Just the fact that they’re trying to do this already makes them violent.

Spain is one of the world leaders in LGBTQ+ freedom. There is too much pro LGBTQ+ support here to make this a viable campaign platform. Making martyrs out of anti LGBTQ+ politicians will boost support for anti LGBTQ+ stances, not lower it.

So we should let fascists that want to completely eliminate queer people from our society have political power because mmm violence so scary?

Even if they aren’t popular, they’re there, and nothing’s being done about it.
