Wait, so you honestly think that all the love-in peacenik stuff from the 60s and 70s accomplished anything? Or do you think that maybe, just maybe, it was a little more complex than that and the varied forms of protest had a greater impact than some would suggest?

You seem to forget that there was plenty of violence during the civil rights movement. Just because one side did not initiate violence does not mean that side was not violent (that was kind of what Trump was trying to get at, but failed miserably). My point is, that you don't initiate violence, but you come prepared for violence, and with a plan to deal with violence. Because, as proven at Charlottesville, neo-Nazis have no interest in hugs.
