We favor collective, non-violent protest, even as our Federal government gets carved up before us.

However, I would like to see us turn up the heat on Trump, Elon and his Bond-villain minions a couple of notches.

Someone could look at your 2 statements here, and deduce they should get more violent, because that's how they are, psychologically. Some of our own politicians have been saying lately that "We are at war", and war usually entails gunfire. That's not what I want. Some other individuals, however, are HOPING for a "civil war". Inflammatory talk just eggs them on.
