I've seen people post similar things like "Next time don't miss." "We're all thinking it but we can't say it." "I wish he hadn't missed.". There are a few cases where people say this on Facebook and LinkedIn, people complain, and they get fired for it from both government and private organizations. When people say these things, the usual response is "Well he incited violence that led to an insurrection and nothing happened to him." Or "Have you seen Project 2025?". I know there's stuff on trying to persuade other to do violence, but they're right about the January 6th thing. I wouldn't think saying you wished something had happened to be inciting criminal violence, but I can also see how it could be taken that way. I personally do feel similar and would like to express my opinion, but not if that act is illegal or could impact my family or career. So, I'd like to know what is legal so I can follow it and tell others so they don't ruin their life.
but not if that act is illegal or could impact my family or career.
These are not necessarily the same thing. Freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences.
Look at this another way - it is not illegal to make racist or homophobic remarks. That doesn't mean that I can't fire you for making them. Do you have freedom of speech? Yes. Are you free from consequences relating from that speech? No.
Freedom of speech means that the government cannot take action against you for saying something. It doesn't require everyone else to listen, or prohibit private individuals and businesses from taking action against you (as long as that action isn't itself against the law).

Employees of government entities have certain protections that don't exist in the private world. However, what those protections are gets to be a little more fact-specific and it's beyond what I am able to talk about here. Other people may be able to jump in more generally on first amendment protections for government employees though.
