I think Trump is a fascist. I don't think assassinating him (to name one possible extreme reaction) is a good idea.

I would argue that sitting back and hoping for a fascist menace to falter isn't a morally intelligible position.

Probably not...again, because I think meeting violence with violence tends to make things worse, not better.

You feel Ghandi and MLK were morally unintelligible? Hauerwas doesn't have a coherent moral position? or what?

Violence and illegality are not the only coherent moral responses to evil.

Your literally advocating for Captain America's moral view. It's depressing.

No, that's what you're doing in criticising the thesis by making reference to Captain America. That's your frame of reference.
