Coming together to march and express ourselves as we did provided a glimmer of what we can do and what we need to make people feel safe. It was both a confirmation that we can stand up and react when the tactics of the Right go too far - and also a model to adhere to moving forward as millions of Americans reenter the political system over the next few years. Granted, there isn’t 100% overlap between the parties on these things, but there is some - and finding the points of agreement now is vital to having a productive and inclusive future for this country. We can’t afford to hold up in our corners shouting at the rest of the room. I love and deeply respect my friends on the left and the Democratic party, but the crisis provided by Trump gives us the opportunity to substantially change the nature of our discourse - and provides the energy needed for us all to budge a bit and find some elements of common ground.
