I, personally, would not go inside. But that's my choice.
Others may choose to go inside and that is their choice. I respect it. Violence is part of change, unfortunately and many have risked, and given, their lives to secure, for many, rights we enjoy today. Myself included. It would be dishonorable on my part to forget their sacrifices. To let violence deter you is a mistake, Drumf's threats must not go unaddressed. How individuals address them is their choice, as long as it isn't a violent response. I do not accept physically (bodily) violent retaliation in most cases, the exception being self defense. (Stuff does not count, bodies do)
Keep in mind, the threat of Drumf's hateful "leadership" is bigger than an electoral outcome, it's more than politics. It's our life. Reality.
As a rule, I do not police other people's tone, silence them or tell them how to protest. That would be wrong. If someone can go in the rally and not retaliate with violence, bless them. Bless them completely. I honor that and stand in solidarity. Because, tbh, I never could.
