I'm trying to imagine how I would feel if someone tried to assassinate me. I'm stuck on a complete inability to imagine anyone caring enough about what I am doing to make an attempt.

If it does happen and I don't want it to but just in case, could I please have your stash of cans and preserves?

You will need to negotiate with Miss Meow and Mr Woof regarding my estate. I expect they will be happy to exchange them for appropriately yummy treats.

Yeah I think I can handle those moochers.

sometimes it's not you, it's what you symbolise/ideology or a position you hold

for example, you might be a famous gay person or someone of a particular faith, or you might be a politician or business leader

Same here. I'd rather live an uncontroversial life of plain living and good acts and be missed by only a handful of people than gestures in Trump's general direction stir up a hornets nest of cultish populism and intolerance and be missed by a gunman.
