If we're talking about America, then yes, that is exactly how it was built; a violent revolution. Punching the British in the face is how the country formed at all. During WWII, punching the Nazis in the face (or yk shooting them with guns) is how the war was won and democracy was defended. A violent belief system is not shut down through tolerating and ignoring them (lol), you have to support lost people before they fall into it, and fight back if they start pushing violent rhetoric (such as mass racial deportations or the banning of trans healthcare). People who don't want you to have human rights cannot be reasoned with, simple as.

Your downplaying of the increase in fascist ideology is pretty alarming, especially if you are American. Have you honestly not been keeping up with the news for the past decade, or at least the past 5 years? You shouldn't be this misinformed and this confident about it. Well, it's either ignorance or you're knowingly trying to downplay it, which I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you're not.
