So far, I haven't decided to "fight words with violence." 

But there could be something missing from your theory of democratic persuasion.

I don't think that German liberals who couldn't dissuade people from voting Nazi in 1932 had only themselves to blame.

And I don't think that black voters of North Carolina had only themselves to blame when the Klan wrested political power from them in 1875.

Much depends on what words people are fighting.
