This is the same as any major conflict. People want to try to work thing out without violence. The times that does happen are unremarkable. The times it doesn’t happen, we can judge later weather it was the right thing to do.

If voting could stop fascists, then in 2020 when Joe Biden got more votes than Donald Trump, he would have been president. There would have been a democrat in office from 2021-2024. And your fantasy world sounds nice, but it’s not what happened here in the real world.
Is this some kind of advanced sarcasm? Because I’m not understanding what you’re trying to say.
I can’t recall a single time in history where voting has defeated fascism.
Fascists mostly start by winning legitimate elections. Defeating fascism with votes would just look like Clinton winning the election instead of Trump.
You might as well say that you can’t recall a single time when having a visible security presence stopped a robbery.

On the one hand, I suppose that depends on who is defining “basic human rights.” I’m pretty sure the Trump Convoys would claim that’s what they were doing.
On the other hand, the question was on riots, not on rights. Not all riots are justified.
