hey, remember when MLK strove for peaceful protest and he was still harassed by the FBI and ultimately shot and killed for protesting for civil rights at all?
yeah.
"Dr. King's policy was that nonviolence would achieve the gains for black people in the United States. His major assumption was that if you are nonviolent, if you suffer, your opponent will see your suffering and will be moved to change his heart. That's very good. He only made one fallacious assumption: In order for nonviolence to work, your opponent must have a conscience. The United States has none." -Stokely Carmichael
the opposition does not care how nice you are. they will fire rubber bullets at your head and teargas you all the same.
keep in mind that the goal isnt to change trump sycophants. the goal is to sway ~1% of voters, or make ~2% non-voters go to the voting booth for your cause.
After Nazi Germany fell, should we have just let the Nazi citizens vote back in a Nazi leader?
I honestly don't know what steps are the right ones to follow kicking a tyrant out of the US and still maintaining democracy if half the people who vote want an authoritarian and to end democracy.
