It's worse than that. Anyone advocating effective, time proven, VIOENCE as a response to illegal/unConstitutional/despotic government is automatically either censored or written off as a kook/extremist.
When the Founders got tired of the King's crap, they didn't sit around and hope that the next election would fix things.
Historically in most places and time periods advocating open insurrection never came without paying a steep price.
Under the Treason Act of 1661 proposing, gathering, talking about levying war against the King was the same as actually doing it.
The penalty was the same. All it took was 2 witnesses.
