Nobody "prefers" it (psychopaths need not apply), but against a regime where literally their prevention method to getting replaced is "bloodshed", what is your suggestion?
As a very last resource, because again, I do not condone crimes, but: When tyrants rule, it's our human right to disobey.
Would you accept to be subservient to a power structure that doesn't work for you? For the "We The People"? Vote them away yes, given voting is not a deceptive theatrical show like it is in Venezuela. So, what are the other alternatives? Ruling out violence of course.
I'm curious if this has ever worked before.
I accept that next time might be different, but previous examples would add to your argument.
