I'm going to say yes, but qualify that statement. Killing somebody you disagree with politically is never okay. But in the definition of political violence is the idea of rebellion against an unjust system. The idea that an unelected person we can't get rid of who is trying to dictate American policy also can't be removed by any other method should terrify people.
