When/if Trump loses and the threat of another attempted coup or civil war has passed would be ideal. Demotivating voters who would keep Trump out of office is bad for everyone, as is emboldening the people who would commit treason to take the office by force.

Ah, I see! Please, instruct me further: For how long will it be permissible to blame the Kamala regime for their crimes? For surely there will be a new Most Important Election of Our Lifetime next election, as there has been for at least the last three (and arguably the last dozen or more), and by this logic it would be terrible to imperil the that election as well. Shall it be whenever the new Republican we're calling Uniquely Fascist announces their candidacy, and/or when the media instructs us that an already-announced candidate turns out to be Uniquely Fascist? The election cycles seem to be starting earlier and earlier each year, so I don't expect you could produce a date for when it becomes unacceptable to state obvious facts, but surely something must tell us the window of time it is Ideal!

You must understand, this is all so very complicated, so it's good to have an Adult in the Room to help out us children.

Kissinger, while organising the bombing of Cambodia and killing hundreds of thousands of civilians, said that if he personally didn't organise it the alternative (some other psychotic official) would be worse.

Should we give him a pass? Forgive him his crimes against humanity because someone else would be worse? Does that make the systematic murder of hundreds of thousands of civilians palatable?
