Yes, but it is a question that is pertinent to the situation. What do you do if a population elects someone that starts undermining their democracy? I understand that forcibly taking that person’s power away is in itself anti-democratic, but if their actions are even worse, then it would be justified right? A smaller anti-democratic act to save the democratic system that they’re dismantling.

Or Stauffenberg’s assassination attempt. That’s the problem with this, it all depends on what the consequences of waiting it out are.
