If someone starts talking about political violence, and you try to talk him down, he'll say "This country was founded upon revolutionary violence" and something like "The right of the people to rebel against a tyrant is written out in black and white in the Declaration of Independence."
And if you still want to talk him down, you'll inevitably say something like, "Well yes, the right of revolution exists, but we should reserve it for truly desperate situations when there is no longer any hope of rescue via political processes, such as when fascists are trying to take over the country."
So that's you, the guy trying to talk the more hot-headed guy down, conceding that in the case of fascist takeover, violence is in fact justifiable.
And I think this sort of line of demarcation between when violence is and is not acceptable is common. In fact, it's so common that it's trite.
And the left has a similar trite guideline.
But what happens when the head of a political party and the President starts talking up the political opposition as "fascists"? I'm sorry -- as "semi-fascists"?
That is the President himself giving his supporters the Go Code for political violence.
There is one nigh-universally recognized special circumstance justifying political violence, and that is the threat of "fascist" takeover.
And Joe Biden, who controls a party filled with arsonists, rioters, anarchist skull-breakers and murderers, just told them all that it's Time for the Boogaloo.
And the media, which is supposedly aghast at any suggestion of political violence, did not condemn this.
In fact, they said: Finally. He's showing "anger."
Biden will give a speech from Independence Hall, where the Declaration of Independence -- the document that made the moral case for political violence when faced with tyranny -- was signed, in which he brand his political opponents would-be tyrants and "threats to democracy."
In other words: It's time to declare WAR on our domestic political opponents.
