I came across this article:
Black Lives Matter Leader: What I Experienced At Pro-Trump Rally 'Restored My Faith In Some Of These People' | Daily Wire
This is a perfect example of why Free Speech is necessary for a civilized society. While this one event is not going to make a difference, imagine if we could promote this type of discussion nation wide. It is sad how we have let ourselves become so divided that we don't even recognize that we have far more in common than that with which we disagree. While we may have different views on how to get there, we all ultimately want the same thing and that is a peaceful and productive life. I thought this was a good moment and it is my hope we can see more efforts like this to allow both sides to speak and have a civil discussion. This is the path we must take if we ever truly want to counter this growing divide. The fact that both groups were able to come together peacefully and actually have a discussion is truly remarkable given today's political climate.
