I'm sorry, but every significant change in the world started with violence.

    Intense violent changes are more suited for writing stories about than gradual non-violent changes. I'm not saying gradual non-violent changes is what US needs right now, but your statement is false and I think you should stop instigating violence in this thread.

    The United States was created by the Revolutionary War.

    We live in a country that only exists because of violence. We celebrate and honor this violence every year on July 4 (and on Memorial Day and Veterans Day)

    Clearly we as a nation deeply believe in the transformative power of violence. It's literally what it means to be an American.
