Yeah, like I said in my other post about missing the point - I suspected but was hoping for something more legitimate since my knowledge is not nearly exhaustive. Once you start employing “alternatives” things can go downhill fast. Imagine the mess if the Jan 6th insurrection had actually been effective in some way for instance.
Well, for the January 6 fascists to actually be effective you’d have to multiply their number by several thousand. There were a few hundred morons who showed up with no plan except to beat up cops and hopefully scare Pence into breaking the law. It was a shit show doomed to failure. They were losers and current Trump supporters are even bigger losers.
I know that, but if “might makes right” was suddenly a thing it would be a big mess. My point was we probably don’t want to be bringing assassination/violence into the discussion about checks and balances, even if it comes with a wink, because there are definitely folks who will consider it.
