I don't think the video was lionizing violent protestors.  It was lionizing non violent protestors and people who simply showed up to vote.
I get where you're coming from because D-Day was violent, it makes more sense to compare it to other violent events, but I don't think that was the intent.
As I've already said, I don't like the aspect where they compared men who put their lives on the line to men who did not. I just like the aspect where they called Trump a wannabe Hitler.

It wasn't about comparing violent to nonviolent, it was comparing our Troops to freaking ANTIFA/BLM. Saying they both fought for a similar thing (implying similar ideals) when that is absolutely NOT what happened. To compare D-Day and WW2 to the US at any point in time in history is absurd and irresponsible.  

They added the Trump thing just to prove their "point."

I think we have very different concepts of what antifa and BLM are.  In my understanding, Antifa are protestors who follow the maxim, "don't start it but do finish it" and they can be violent.  I see BLM as a nonviolent hodgepodge that is just another face of the rainbow/alphabet groups.
Neither should really be compared to troops, but neither is inherently evil either.
