You can't have a democracy if you can't hold it accountable. Violence is the last option, of course. But it must be an option in the face of the threat of more violence. Fascists will always exploit this weakness in liberalism.

Sure, and if I felt we were actually facing a fascist takeover, I'd reconsider my options (and probably move elsewhere). But I don't, I'm more worried about the crazies on the roads that got something messed up from COVID or something and are taking it out on drivers.

Trump is certainly going to mess some stuff up that I care about, but I believe he'll leave in 4 years and we'll have another idiot in power, but hopefully one that brings us forward and undoes some of Trump's mess.

We're not going to see concentration camps or death squads, so a gun won't be helpful there. I'm far more worried about random crazies getting more bold and threatening my family.
