I want to agree with this except for how often the people who won me the rights I have (Civil Rights protestors, suffragettes, anti-slavery efforts) have been accused of trying to destroy societal order and bring about chaos. Not all sorts of order should be preserved.
Yabbut ... they had a plan to build something (that their critics feared or opposed, but still building). I heard people saying they were voting for Trump not because they wanted anything he wanted/proposed/promised, but because they figured he'd simply Break Things and they projected their dreams onto the expected wreckage. Those are, I think, the folks Mr. Aaronsson is addressing.
(I guess what I'm trying to point to is the difference between voting for someone because you think they'll bring chaos, and voting for someone you think will build things despite other people claiming they'll produce chaos.)
