    I suggested it was an option, but not the only one. Others believed that I was suggesting it was the only option.

              Unless you and a few thousand friends are ready to pick up a gun yesterday, yeah. There’s nothing you can do to affect whether or not Trump “happens.” I know it sucks to feel powerless but you are powerless. That’s the point of the way this country was built.

                And do you have a thousand friends who will pick up a gun to defend what you believe in?

                    You brought up the threat of violence as a way to protect a political belief since, without the rule of a law, might makes right.

                    Therefore, if you want to protect your political beliefs, it would seem prudent for you to back up your political beliefs with the threat of violence.

                    If you are going to ask for an army to defend a political position, I would expect that you should be able to field an army to defend your political position. After all, might makes right, right?
