@mtracey @freddiedeboer Not sure I agree, BTW: I could see lots of liberals venerating their etiquette rules even in face of real fascism

@ggreenwald @freddiedeboer For sure.

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

@mtracey Right. And if he's a unique fascist menace then you have to physically prevent his voters from voting, take him out, etc.

@freddiedeboer @mtracey Good analogy here to 9/11 truthers. If you *really* believe Bush did it you've got to overthrow government.

@UrbanAchievr @freddiedeboer @mtracey Disapprove of this line of thinking. Goal is to change minds, not achieve physical domination.

@Holden114 @UrbanAchievr Think his point is, "if the gov't has moved on to mass murder, armed revolt is in order."

@Holden114 @UrbanAchievr And I'm finding it difficult to come up with an argument to the contrary. The rationale is sound, IMO.

@JustEric @UrbanAchievr Armed revolt is suicide. I'm not a believer the 2A is our protection from tyranny. But that's another debate.

@mtracey @freddiedeboer Personally I think Trump is just another movement conservative who'll stab alt-right in the back at 1st opportunity.

@mtracey @freddiedeboer Nothing in his make-up suggests that he'll side with herrenvolk over multicultural rich elite at moment of truth.

@mtracey @freddiedeboer That said, I don't blame people for taking him at face value. I, personally, don't think of him as unique threat.
