Charles Blow writes in the Sunday New York Times (21/8) on whether «violence against the government can sometimes be justified» and cites worrying polls that show increasing numbers of Americans think so. I share his worry, but the case in question apparently is the US in its present form - a democracy. What about the US under a renewed Trump administration? The aspect missing here is what kind of government is in power? I support those of my forefathers in Norway who fought violently against the Nazi regime of Vidkun Quisling. The government of Vladimir Putin deserves violent opposition. Violence should be permissible in the case of autocracies.
