Of course, the best way to protest is to ignore. They say the thing worse than hatred is indifference. If nobody shows up to "counter" absurd protests, then it's just a small gathering of people wasting their time.
That's what I don't get about countering white supremacists. If nobody came to counter protest, and no news reported on them, those 8 people would just go home and probably stop marching. Confronting them just inspires them to double down on their conviction because they see the confrontation as evidence of the thing they oppose.
