>Do you realize that numerous times throughout history people have successfully killed the actual president and it didn't end democracy?

I'm no historian, so was there ever a time the killing was instigated by a sitting politician who then was not punished? (Yes, the Senate has yet to decide, but chances are they won't vote for removal or banning from office).

Because politicians trying to have their political opponents harmed or killed is basically all one needs to have fake democracy.
