When Thomas Jefferson recognized that the Alien & Sedition Act was an unconstitutional violation of the 1st Amendment, he didn't go around passing new laws. He didn't try and take it to the Supreme Court to try and rule in his favor. He didn't even rescind the law. He just refused to prosecute anyone under it, and pardoned everyone convicted under it. It was a hot-button political issue of the day until a Democratic-Republican Congress finally upended the Federalist horseshit.
If governors pledged to pardon people who "defended their lives, family, friends, property, and community from Marxist lynchings", the insurrection would end fairly soon.
Marxists talk a big game about "using the power of the people", but when the revolution comes, the people normally betray them because they don't actually represent the people. In fact, the people tend to stand firmly against Leftists. Leftists can only succeed by parasitizing institutions and controlling keystone positions of power. The only correct way to defeat them is to decentralize power to the individual and let the problem sort itself out. This is what a mass pardon pledge would do.
This is the best and most thorough statement of the whole affair of executive custodianship of prosecution. The prosecutorial climate shapes all of society. Jefferson knew that!
The way I see it, the executive custodianship of prosecution can either shift responsibility to the judiciary by carrying it out, or shift responsibility to the legislature by not carrying it out.
