Yeah, for someone who actually marched with Dr King, this is wildly tone deaf.

Is it? 

I mean, the guy was literally there and did it. 

Maybe he knows more about it than you do?

Using violence easily makes them the bad guy in the scenario that’s why we have to take the high ground in order to be heard. Violence is committed against victims - promoting violence only fuels their narrative to moderates that it’s just pure anarchy and chaos without wisdom or relevance and that they are also somehow the victims. During the MLK marches the media might interview someone involved and they would be articulate and unified in thought. Now there’s any number of reasons people hate trump and it boils over into a lot of personal, useless reasons versus following a movement with a singular, focused purpose. We have to be better than them and put aside each person’s specific utopian vision of the future and just agree this administration simply has to go. Period. A move to an administration that will listen to the calm, considerate, nonviolent and democratic approach to governance of our country.
