Yes, I can agree with your post.
I am not in favor of violent action unless the people have no other choice; and I mean no other choice at all.
In our situation, that leaves only a few options. First, some state might try to leave the Union and see if the central government would send in troops again. If California was the state, it might just work.
The second option would be a push for an unlimited constitutional convention. The Articles of Confederation were overturned by a constitutional convention; why not have another since we have done it once before?
Of course, a third option is that the coming hyperinflation might lead to total collapse of the central government with the various states declaring independence in the chaos --- this might be possible without a lot of bloodshed.
