    I would still have been against mob action, but this is a serious question - and indeed, a major part of my argument why it was so dangerous for Trump to make claims that, if true & sincerely believed, could reasonably *justify* sacking the Capitol.https://twitter.com/Patterico/status/1353739186591862797 …

    A different but related question: if Congress had voted to deliver the election to Trump — meaning many of us would have (correctly) believed the election stolen — would we have supported a mob descending on DC to reverse it? What other option would we have had?

        If you convince a man that there is an armed rapist-murderer in his bathroom & he goes downstairs & shoots the plumber because he believed you, do you bear no moral responsibility for that?

        To choose a parallel, the core problem in the Breonna Taylor case wasn't how the cops reacted on the spot. It was that they went to execute a no-knock warrant on the wrong apartment. Legal liability aside, *poliical* accountability asks why they were there in the first place.

        The bigger prudential issue is by doing this the nation would’ve become totally ungovernable. “Sanctuary states” would have extended to any exercise of federal executive power. Courts would have found actions post 1/20 void ab initio. Not pretty

        The list of grievances set forth in the Declaration of Independence are mostly petty hyperbole and certainly subject to legitimate dispute by the leaders of England and colonial loyalists. So how was that popular uprising any more legitimate in your current regime apologetic view

        Under what circumstances would you support mob action? I assume if the Russian people displaced Putin through mob action, you'd approve. I would. The reason I would: fair elections in Russia are impossible. If a fair election here were overturned, how would that be different?

        It wouldn’t and it’s a scary thought.
