I've always wondered why we consider it ok when an illegitimate, unjust, or unhinged government uses violence, but not when people on the right side of history? Like yeah don't go smash up small businesses and murder innocent bystanders. But if Trump refuses to leave at the end of his term, I hope someone has the courage to use minimum required violence to remove him.

Doesn't escape despotism cycles, and just makes a country a worse place to live.

Historically, without respect for people you disagree with, it only gets worse for everyone. This lesson was simply forgotten by many. =3
