At a recent Turning Point USA “Pick Up the Mic” event held at the University of Texas at San Antonio, a young woman stepped to the microphone determined to be heard, whether or not anyone wanted to listen.
When the social compact breaks down, political debates cease to be merely political. Spiritual warfare manifests itself through those debates.
Christian Collins, the host of the event, asked whether she was proud of herself, and she responded, “Baby, I’m thrilled.” She then told him he was “brave for being out here,” with “no protection, no nothing, no, like, neck brace.”
She prepared a poem and read it at a place where she knew cameras would be rolling. She seemed confident there would be no consequences for her devilry. But she had no trouble invoking the consequences a man like Collins might face.
