I appreciate and agree with this sentiment entirely, but the people who need to hear it won't.
Lots of people crowing about the (I think it was) Chinese idea of solidarity, where the peaceful protestors shouldn't undercut or decry the violent protestors because they're all on the same side. They missed that the incredibly oversimplified concept is meant to flow both ways.
Yes, this isn't enough, but that doesn't mean this isn't also an important step in the right direction. The way this is worded definitely sounds like a party switch. If he's the horrible asshole everyone here thinks he is, it's not like it ever takes long for these folks to demonstrate it again.
