Of course, a United Healthcare CEO was assassinated just days after an election where Democrats can’t seem to grasp why people are so mad at the institutions that run the country. The pearl-clutching was almost immediate. Democrats, Republicans, and media types of all stripes lined up to scold working-class America for its understandable schadenfreude. These talking heads would begin with an admission of the poor way healthcare is administered in this country, an acknowledgment of the anger people feel towards health insurance companies in particular, and finish with a patronizing rant about how violence isn’t the answer and how any complaints should be taken up at the ballot box. All in all, it is a laughable response to a widespread lack of empathy at the murder of just one of many avatars of a broken system.
