...who believe that it's ok to kill people who hold different beliefs than they do?

We'll have a Democratic President again, hopefully, in 2029...would you want a Secret Service agent guarding them who believed that it was karma for Sen. Hortmann in Minnesota to be killed?

Federal employees take an oath to defend the Constitution...not sure that oath is compatible with being ok with people being killed due to political beliefs.
