It's poor symbolism, and the wrong point is made.

One of the biggest problem with the left... is a complete lack of self awareness.  Whenever their opinion is heard and rejected, they falsely feel they aren't being heard and need to shout it louder and destroy everything in their path until those who disagree submit.  They don't see that they lost the argument in the arena of ideas and debate.  They just incite the mob until they get their desire, with decency, logic, and debate tossed out the window.

nobody is going to feel like you heard them unless you repeat their point back to them and explain why you disagree.
Just telling someone "no, you're wrong" looks the same whether you were listening carefully and put a lot of thought into the response or you weren't listening at all.
If you want people to feel like you heard them you should prove it
