I think this is a click-bait headline for what is essentially a commentary piece on recent politics.
The rally actually had very little to do with the article other than some framing.
I think he did a reasonable job raising his issues without hyperbole. In essence, we just need more conversations and attitudes like this out in the social media jungles so we can move forward. It's a sad indictment that someone like this (reasoned and honest opinions) is losing friends still.
I portion a decent part of the blame on the media (inc. social media); they do nothing whatsoever to encourage honest and earnest discourse yet have massive influence over the attitudes of their viewers. They let politicians get away with posturing and dodging and go more for opinions and editorials than searching for data and 'truth.' Social media platforms are focusing all their resources on blocking content rather than behaviour, completely the wrong way around.

That's what happens when you replace journalism (professional, paid) with social media (shallow, volunteer). News media had its faults, but what we have now is objectively worse.
- joshcsimmons 4y agoAll of the photos were from the event - those have little to do with the article too?
- headsoup 4y agoPretty much, he just commented on their composure and the crowd cheering, it could have been any event anywhere in that respect.
