I think there is a couple of things playing out here. The media loves to highlight the extremists on the right, and if that's all you see, you are not only presented a false narrative but is slowly built upon overtime; that the right are ALL like that which has the effect of fomenting hate. Then, some crazy wacko leftist tells you that "speech is violence" so the only logical conclusion, built upon a foundational premise of lies and manipulation, is to return "violence" with actual violence.
This manifests itself in groups like Antifa, people shouting down others with the worst vile shit imaginable, and people throwing coffee at people eating burritos without masks. Think about it, if you truly believed that the other side was "violent", "racist" and "fascists" who are "harming the downtrodden", then nothing would be out of bounds, and these are how hateful extremists and crazy SJWs are formed.
As we know, nothing could be further from the truth but in the pursuit of "doing the right thing" or "being on the right side of history", they've radicalized themselves in a bubble of group-think, propagation of false narratives, and straight-up indoctrination. "The path to hell is paved with good intentions" playing out in out in real-time. This is why it feels like the battle of good and evil, and not red vs. blue, or "we both want the same things but we just differ on how to get there." Because we've lost SO MUCH of the things that USED to bring us together, like sports, media, and love of country, it's only divided us to a point where we seemingly will never be able to peacefully reconcile.
It's horrific, but this video is profound, for both sides, and shows that there may be hope in real kindness, real love. The more people we truthfully expose to our side, and how truly accepting we can be, the more people we can not only red-pill, but also reunify with and bring about a new age of true acceptance, healing, and, most importantly, shared values like love of country. Perhaps this might be overly optimistic. but I don't think so, not yet anyway.
