What was said

""you don't really go after people who you think are threats to democracy or threats to your country when you still have electoral options to get rid of them. Um if they coup the government and if they actually succeed and if they take control and then you can't vote them out, then people have to start pursuing other measures maybe.""

Pressed in the Q&A on his post referencing debates about killing Hitler, LonerBox says his view is that violence is not justified while electoral means exist to remove a leader. He adds that the point where ‘other measures’ might be considered is after a successful coup that forecloses elections.
