Political violence ≠ fascism. Violence is what people turn to when they can't achieve what they need by merely talking and voting. Cf. every revolution, ever. Including the American one.

The fact that this is the state of things is the bigger problem. That's the problem that needs to be fixed and sorry, but violence is not the solution to that, it only makes things even worse.
