Bro On His Discovery That American Identitarian Politics Is Built On A Lie

What he’s describing in this clip is one of those lightswitch moments, when all the facts around you are the same, but you are suddenly able to see them as they really are.

Ronald Reagan had a line he would use when describing his political oppponents, a line that is perhaps more true now than it was back when he would say it.

The line is: The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they’re ignorant; it’s just that they know so much that isn’t so.

It far more subtle and sophisticated than calling the other side BS artists and con men. It introduces the possibility that they believe — with absolute certainty — ideas that have no basis in fact.

It doesn’t matter, for example. how many times you tell them to watch the entire interaction between Trump and Jim Acosta to put the Very Fine People hoax in perspective, where Trump, in the same exchange specifically denounces racists and bigots, or that Jim Acosta himself tweeted about Trump’s denunciation of White Supremacists. The ‘very fine people’ hoax is one of many ironclad ‘facts’ that have penetrated the minds of those who want to believe the worst about Trump so long as it takes the least possible effort.

We see something similar happening with race. Every possible story is run through the filter or race these days looking to divide us against ourselves.

And why wouldn’t they? It’s an easy shortcut to power. Far easier to demonize the other team and saying they hate an entire segment of the voter base than defending one set of ideas against the other side’s to prove the other side is wrong.

It works. Until it doesn’t. I 2020, the left ramped that narrative up to eleven and broke off the knob. But voting patterns have changed. The GOP has been making huge inroads in demographics that were written off as lost causes in the McCain/Romney years.

What chnaged? People from all walks of life are waking up to the very same sorts of realizations this guy woke up to.

“37 years in, I finally woke up and realized: not ONCE has a white person ever disrespected me.”

“Propaganda is REAL.”

I don’t know this man’s name, or I’d share it with you. But I know this much.

At 37, this guy from Louisiana ‘gets it’. He thought about his interactions with different groups of people and noticed that the ones who supposedly ‘hate’ him haven’t shown the least sing of doing so.

He stepped out of the ‘Plato’s Cave’ of the race narrative and asked himself if what he was told to believe about the relationship between white people and black people matched his — to use that favorite buzz-word — ‘lived experience’.

When he asked himself a couple of simple questions, his experience told him the truth that society tried to hide from plain sight… even if it took him 37 years to finally look close enough to find out for himself.

Living as an American isn’t a race thing. It’s all about coming together under the one flag with mutual respect thing. Almost like ‘out of many, one’ has real implications beyond bring different states together into a union.

God bless this man, whoever he may be, and God bless the USA as she celebrates 250 years of greatness.
