Violence is counter productive. Baiting the opposing side to engage in violence to delgitimize and destroy public support is the primary goal of a Color Revolution.

Never play into the hands of your enemy.

Remember Saul Alinsky’s Golden Rule of asymmetric warfare - “your enemy's reactions (and actions), suitably goaded and directed in their response, will be your greatest asset.

We are being goaded and directed towards the use of violence so we lose the revolution.

Don't ever play into the hands of the enemy and never do what they are baiting you to do.

The status quo is not an option - agreed on that one.

Violence is simply not an option to effect positive change of the status quo because it is counter productive and the direct path to losing the revolution.

Violence is NOT what winning looks like and it is a sure way to lose the battle for public sympathy and support for the cause.

Why have a 2nd Amendment?

Violence IS an option... For those inclined towards violence.

Good luck with your Kumbaya strategy. Do you not realize that America is now a permanent one-party state? And that the Deep State will make a full-on assault on what is left of your constitutional rights? Free Speech, freedom of religion, and the 2nd Amendment are dead. They will not be saved by SCOTUS or any future election? America has gone over the precipice.
