“Shot an unpopular politician”
Do you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down?
(Yes ik Trump)
I mean, define “popular politician” / " unpopular politician." Does the fact that the media constantly shoves all these yahoos in our faces make these political figures popular? Unpopular? It’s all corrupt and I hate every mention of ANY politician’s names, while some people choose politicians to cheer for like it’s a fekkin sports team.
“Entire nation hates him”
It’s kinda true in the sense that:
-
One side hates him because he tried to kill their god.
-
Another side hates him because he missed.
-
And another side hates him for attempting it in the first place because all it does is make an already very unstable political situation even worse no matter the outcome.

did I really learn about an assassination attempt thru lemmy
Isn’t that the point of Lemmy? So you don’t have to rawdog news?
I learned through KnowYourMeme.
There was a time when America could reliably produce assassins who could kill both presidential candidates and even sitting presidents. What the he’ll happened? Deindustralization? Too much porn and video games?
I think you’ll see plenty of attempts after this, some inspired by it and others in retaliation. Fun times for the US

Why was he imperialist?

I wouldn’t call him imperialist, but he repeatedly denied WW2 Japanese war crimes (in particular the Nanking massacre and the use of Korean ‘comfort women’). This is the rough equivalent of a German Chancellor denying the Holocaust.
I wouldn’t call him imperialist either. I think he was a pretty decent leader for Japan. He wasn’t murdered for his politics, but because of his religious affiliation.
