(9,083 posts)We're no where near the point where violence is an acceptable option. Right now we have the high ground, and what you are asking will not only galvanize Trump's supporters, but will be rejected by millions of people who are supporting the Democrats. Essentially we'll lose the high moral ground.
Radicalizing the anti-trump movement is exactly what the republicans want. It gives them the excuse to brand us as dangerous, anti-american radicals, and allows them to justify harsh countermeasures before the election.
What you are calling for will destroy the election process and leave violent revolution as the only means of effecting change.
I reject that.
We need to show the whole country that the Constitution and the rule of law still matter.
I can say with all certainty, that if we lose the high ground, we lose the elections. It's that simple.
Right now we're gaining in polls all over the country, even in deep red states. This is how people show their strength in a Constitutional Democratic Republic.
Fat, lazy, cowards? That simple isn't true.
