      Those were *not* viewed as "peaceful protests" any more than Ferguson was, even when people were literally just standing somewhere —

      Right-wing protests, by definition, are calls to *strengthen* existing systems, to give more power to those in power.

      Isn't that the definition of conservatism? A call to strengthen and maintain existing systems, rather than change them.

      conservatism is a dual to liberalism, both generally incrementalist, favor effecting change from inside existing institutions

      whereas far left and far right alike see existing systems as beyond saving or active impediments and favor replacing wholesale with their own designs

          it's an amorphous, disorganized "big tent" affair more akin to occupy wall street than anything
