My preferred analogy is with George Wallace or Joseph McCarthy. He's Wallace or McCarthy as a major party nominee.

If I thought Trump would implement extermination camps and invade the world, I'd probably view "democratic means" as insufficient.

My rule of thumb is that as long as you live in a democracy, you follow democratic rules. Different if it's a dictatorship.

So you'd advise against the organization of armed resistance cells upon Trump's election?
