Violent action has become more and more likely to fail and lead to dictatorship in the modern world. Where as nonviolent action has continued to be more successful. I'm not saying peaceful protest though, specifically nonviolent action.
I highly recommend reading the book "This Is an Uprising: How Nonviolent Revolt Is Shaping the Twenty-First Century" if you're interested.
Steven Miller calling the no kings protest the "I hate america rally" was insane because it was a perfect opposite of one of the movements the book focuses on.
The optor movement in serbia that succeeded had a mass movement with the slogan "resistance, because I love serbia"
Sounds to me like he's read the book as well and is trying to invert it's lessons.
