You've probably heard it said a hundred times this year that there are two different visions for America on the ballot. As election chaos continues to unfold, with all eyes on massive implications of fraud, we are watching a realtime life-or-death battle between these two visions.
The TCF Center in Detroit has been a hotspot of national focus the past 24 hours. It, my friends, is now one of the largest battlefields in this war of vision, with multiple allegations of election fraud. Demonstrators have gathered outside as the madness unfolds.
An argument between two black men outside the TCF Center is a stark microcosm of where we are right now in our nation. One man is supportive of Trump, of American history and values, of liberty and respect, and due process. The other is a BLM supporter who believes the system is rotten and that it all needs to rebuilt from scratch:
"Trump is blocking me from doing what, exactly?" asks the Trump supporter.
"From being able to live your life!" shouts the BLM man in reply. "From being able to get the same amount of respect that they [white people] get!"
In response to the allegations of no respect, fellow Trump supporters embrace the first man, cheering and affirming his worth as a person.
"Look at all these Coons, look at all these traitors!" the black BLM supporter shouts in response.
The black Trump supporter won't have any of that.
"You like being the victim, don't you?" he asks, before (rightly) calling the BLM supporter a racist.
The conversation devolves from there, with the BLM supporter calling everyone a racist, Coon, and Uncle Tom.
Watch the first man absolutely WRECK the Left after the altercation, however:
"To all my white liberal friends in the cities and in the suburbs, you think if you put a Black Lives Matter sign on your lawn, that they won't run in your house. Do you know what happened in China during the cultural revolution? It's not about your character or what you do or what you believe. It's about your skin color or about what's between your legs or about the class you belong to. They gonna come get you. They might not come get you first, maybe they will, but they gonna come get you. So don't think your liberalism is going to come save you. It's a lie."
One side here is willing to affirm the inherent rights and value of all people, and is willing to stand side-by-side with others from diverse backgrounds around those shared ideals. The other refuses to tolerate diversity, shames people for thinking differently, blames everyone but themselves for the ills of society, and resorts to name calling.
