It’s blatant extortion now.

    It’s not defeatism, at all, it’s the recognition of an ineffective method of resolving things. Real life isn’t a movie where things just work out when you do stupid shit.

      History disagrees with you.

      No despot in history has ever fallen without violence. Hell, your own, country was built on that fact.

      At exactly what point did America go from “the tree of liberty must be refreshed with the blood of patriots” to “this is an ineffective means of resolving things.”?

        Political violence that will make change will be larger scale and organized, not individuals trying to kill a bad president, or two, or three.
