        In other news, Trump people are now invading my TL to claim I'm justifying violence when I've done precisely the OPPOSITE.

        No it's not. I am arguing AGAINST that view by illustrating fallacies which might be used IN SUPPORT of it.

        .@mtracey @TedKelly45 So if someone says "Hillary (or Bernie) is the Antichrist, so violence is justified," how would you respond?

        Right! Which is why I think the whole "unique fascist menace" premise needs to be re-evaluated. That's my ultimate point.

        If you affirm the "unique fascist menace" theory but are unwilling to fight, doesn't that compel re-evaluation of the theory?

        Again, I'm not endorsing physical disruption, just teasing out the logic which might undergird a case for it.

        The narrow aim of this small post was to elucidate contradictions in the prevailing liberal critique of Trump.

        Yeah, but that's a consequential stipulation! We don't presently have the capacity to make that stipulation definitively.

        are you saying you can't describe a politician or policy as dangerous without endorsing legitimacy of violence to stop it?

        You can't ascribe such danger-causing potential to Trump and then condemn violence as a means to stop him. I don't think it works.

        The Left almost never wins when it plays with street violence. Usually it loses badly. It's not something to toy with.

        My conclusion is that street violence is NOT justified.
