Well put. I have nothing to add, except that what is happening is delivering protestors' collective asses (and maybe the democratic party, too) on a platter to Trump. The moral high ground seems conspicuously empty at the moment.
Putting it another way, the protesters using violence likely do not have a moral right to do so, because the people who would be hurt by the resulting backlash never authorized them to do it. I explain in more detail here: https://litwinslog.substack.com/p/a-guide-for-revolutionaries?r=6r9v3
