MLK was never arrested *for looting* "Why not riot, they arrested MLK for being peaceful" is the mirror image of "why not run a white nationalist, if we run a polite conservative they'll call him a racist anyway."

Politics isn't beanbag, but what the great American leaders of all causes & stripes had in common was understanding that you win by demonstrating the justice of your cause & how it makes people's lives better.

One of my central laws of politics: make it worth it. You will always have critics & enemies; earn them over things that are worth taking heat over. Don't be the bad thing your enemies accuse you of; be the good thing that they are trying to discredit.
