      "Don't cross Trump's demands to object to the electors, he'll tell people to vote for your primary opponent, and they will listen." "It isn't Trump's fault that people think the election was stolen, people make their own mind up without listening to him." Pick one.

      Are some of the rioters today left-wingers in disguise? May well be. May well be true of any riot that a handful of the troublemakers are agitators from the other side. But my general rule of thumb is that the bulk of any angry mob is who they say they are.

      In 1848, when Chartist protests presented a potential threat to the stability of the British government, the nation's elite - former & future prime ministers Peel & Gladstone, 1/2 of the House of Lords - joined a throng of ordinary Britons to take to the streets & preserve order.

      That was a nation whose leaders understood the stakes.

      Democracy can be messy & unruly, full of overheated rhetoric & angry protests. And that's fine. But there are lines that must not be crossed. And we depend upon the character of our leaders to police those lines.

          Another textbook example of the Charlottesville problem: some parts of this are fine on paper, but it's a terrible message in this situation to keep pounding the "stolen election" stuff and it's only going to make things worse. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1346928882595885058 …

          They're just "mostly peaceful" protests.

          And you police them with multiple buffers, such as truth, civility, decorum, and respect. No one who has excused the erosion of those buffers should be surprised that when you play at the edge, someone eventually goes over the lines.

          The moment they passed through that threshold it wasn't a protest anymore.

          Remember Dan that you have repeatedly argued a Biden administration is by far the bigger threat to the rule of law than Trump. You still steadfastly believe that don’t you? Or maybe you’ll just forget that one for a little while...
