Violence and the threat of it are truly the only legitimate motivators and have been throughout our entire human history. You will notice that sometimes politicians do act the way people want them to after they have camped out on their lawns and made death threats. It's the only thing they understand and the only effective solution. I don't want violence or war either but I can honestly say that I have never seen anything else motivate the ruling class to be moral and do the right thing. They are tyrants at this point, corrupt in every way and lacking in any moral character (and that includes the GOP). Taking up arms against that is not at all wrong.
