"Just look at the logic of that argument [of elite conventional commentators]: 'rejecting Mr. Trump’s candidacy could well invite a repeat of the kind of violence that led to the prohibition on insurrectionists in public life in the first place.' Violent insurrection is so bad that we prohibited insurrectionists from later serving in high office, but if they threaten another insurrection we should … discard the prohibition?"
