Then what’s the way forward? Jan 6 V2 but this time it’s left wing people instead? Ok, then what? You can storm in and overthrow all the evil geriatrics and install the utopian government of your dreams, but then what do you do about the 50% of constituents who oppose that move?
The bedrock of democracy is compromise. If you seize power and install a government that works to further your interests and not strike balance between your interests and their interests, you’re an authoritarian in disguise.
Compromise needs two parties, and it depends on perspective. If we put people who organize coups, murderous cops and their enablers, or corporate ghouls imploding our planet while making common people miserable into prison for decades to life, it could be a compromise between not doing that and mobs indiscriminately killing everyone with any kind of authority.
There are two big problems with violent political measures, one is that if they start, they are very hard to stop, one coup may be followed by three more in the same year, and that the democratic system being made ever weaker by corruption out in the open makes it inevitable.

You’re right, we need to kill half of trans people, otherwise we are exercising authority on right wingers /s
I for one think it is reasonable to exercise authority when someone is trying to oppress others
Im not willing to compromise with people who want to kill my friends. I don’t know why that’s so hard for so many people, including yourself.
