The UnitedHealthcare CEO’s assassination has sparked widespread support for the shooter and exposed growing resentment toward healthcare, insurance, and corporate executives, with 40% of Americans viewing the act as justifiable, according to research. Social media posts, including the hashtag #classwar, have amplified calls for further violence, naming other healthcare leaders and prominent figures as targets. This reflects a paradigm shift where political violence is becoming normalized beyond traditional extremist groups, involving individuals motivated by systemic grievances.
