Assassins are generally losers. Failed assassins especially so. Killing an important figure is one of the few ways someone who would otherwise be totally irrelevant can directly change history. There's a Hobbesian egalitarianism to this. Even a prince or president can be killed by a random incel. To great effect too, at times. The most recent of high-profile political assassinations, Shinzo Abe getting killed with a makeshift shotgun, succeeded in its aim of bringing scrutiny and political repercussions to the Moonies in Japan
