22. JFK said that a government that makes dissent impossible makes
violent revolution inevitable.

It's the same principle. When citizens are denied the opportunity to express their displeasure to the president (when they are corralled in "free speech zones" where they can't be seen or heard, either by the president or by anyone else, and denied entrance to or thrown out of publicly financed presidential appearances, etc., even for wearing innocuous T-shirts expressing belief in freedom, the Constitution, or the First Amendment), they will find a way to make him hear when he no longer is in a position to maintain his protective bubble.
