      If, as many claim, Trump is a profound fascistic threat, then extraordinary protest tactics -- even violent tactics -- would be warranted.

      There's a logical discrepancy in casting Trump as this existential danger and then condemning people for confronting the alleged danger.

      If the extreme tactics are unwarranted, then the portrayal of Trump as this world-altering menace also must be unwarranted.

          The way some people talk about Trump -- literal fascist tyrant -- *the most* extreme tactics could be warranted. Like, arresting Trump.

          The point is not to endorse one tactic or another, but to note the logical inconsistencies in the way lots of people are framing this.

          @JonathanCohn That only follows if there are no other viable means available to stop him. That's absolutely not the case.

          it would also help if those tactics were remotely useful. They're not. They are actually undermining a winning case.

          I guess I'm confused as to whether you're saying we should, or we should merely expect it as a consequence of Trump running.

          I'm not offering a prescription for what people should do, just pointing out that the prevailing logic doesn't hold up.

          You're kind of arguing that we should embrace stooping to his level. So is that what you're saying is an appropriate response?

          .@mtracey I don't think the one requires the other to be true. Different incentives/ramifications for party actors & public protesters

          It's not illegal to support your own fascism. It's just megalomaniacal.
