There’s a tweet buzzing through X that nails exactly how upside-down everything has gotten here in the US. It’s short and sweet—just a couple of sentences and a picture—but it sums up the whole mess we’re in so perfectly. It also throws a spotlight on a major twist in this “Great Divide” war we’re all caught up in. Today’s America isn’t about battles with guns; it’s wars waged on social media, with memes, through rebel voices like Revolver, and all kinds of talks from podcasts to press rooms. This “Great Divide” war really shows just how far apart we’ve drifted—a gap that feels as deep and maybe even more damaging than any old-school battlefield fight.

In addition, this viral tweet also hammers home a recent victory the left really cashed in on—the George Floyd Battle. In terms of gains, this was a massive win for them. Consider what they pulled off: they transformed a career criminal and drug abuser, who once assaulted a pregnant woman during a robbery, into a globally celebrated civil rights icon. While left-wingers are busy tearing down statues of great American historical figures, they’re simultaneously erecting statues of a man who once threatened to murder a pregnant woman and her unborn child, and the American people accepted this, willingly or not.

George Floyd was idolized worldwide. Honestly, it’s surprising he wasn’t declared a “saint” by Rome. Cities were set ablaze in his name.

Cops and world leaders kneeled in his honor.

He was buried like royalty, in a gold coffin.

George Floyd broke all the rules, in life and in death.

Corporations across the planet bent over backward to honor him. For example, MTV and ViacomCBS’ Entertainment & Youth Group went dark for 8 minutes and 46 seconds to honor George Floyd.

In the end, a common street thug was treated with more pomp and circumstance than a Roman Emperor or Egyptian Pharaoh. And the shocking part of all of this was that nearly everyone either went along with it happily or just rolled their eyes and accepted the spectacle, whether they agreed with it or not. At the height of the Floyd frenzy, the same Americans were half-expecting to find hidden cameras from a “Punked” TV episode—it was just that absurd. However, as a tactical move in this ongoing Great Divide War, the Floyd incident detonated like a strategic nuke, impacting every nook of the planet, and its fallout is still felt today.

And that brings us to the viral tweet—so simple yet so impactful. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and the face of this young girl, Laken Riley, is worth that and more. She was a decent, hard-working American with her whole future ahead of her. She had dreams of contributing to society, a notion George Floyd seemingly never entertained. He was a taker. Laken aimed to be a giver.

In her final moments, she experienced a type of fear you only see in horror films. On the flip side, the autopsy and toxicology reports for Mr. Floyd show that he had ’11 ng/mL of fentanyl’ in his system—well over the lethal dose. He died as he lived—recklessly and selfishly.

Laken Riley’s life was cut short by a man who shouldn’t have been in the country in the first place. Like Floyd, he broke the law, crossing over through Biden’s wide-open borders and extinguishing a bright light that had everything to look forward to. This raises a crucial question: where are Laken’s protests, her gold coffin, the endless corporate sponsors, and why aren’t police officers and world leaders kneeling in her memory?

Eric Matheny, a lawyer and popular right-wing podcaster, is the author of this powerful, viral tweet that has stirred up a mix of outrage and sadness among many Americans.

Here’s what folks are saying about this tweet:

“She gets nothing, doesn’t fit the narrative desired.”

“Laken Riley hardly even gets media coverage.”

“Well, conservatives won’t “march” bc many are too afraid to do anything. I see it everyday. I don’t understand how people don’t fight for this country and our way of life.”

“George Floyd’s family received $27 million. What does Laken Riley’s get?”

“This is what happens when the democrats are in charge of this country. We become a third world country. Sad. Trump 2024 save America.”

“Nothing outside of warm condolences to the family by President Trump”

“And George Floyd wasn’t murdered. George Floyd killed himself.”

“Ignored by the president, and portrayed by the media as the victim of solo running. That’s what she gets in Biden’s America.”

“George Floyd was a drug-addicted thug who died from an overdose while resisting arrest. This poor, innocent young lady will be forgotten. It’s unfortunate that victimhood is not colorblind? Laken doesn’t for their narrative.”

“She gets murdered so that a certain political party can pad their voter base”

And isn’t that what this all boils down to—politicians, agendas, and ideology? The Great Divide War is all about political gains and power, and it seems like only one side is actually fighting—the left side. GOP lawmakers have no desire to muddy their hands with the dirty truths surrounding George Floyd, Laken Riley, or any other hotbed issues. The only progress we’ve made so far is thanks to people like you, who keep digging and shouting the truth.

So, please, take a moment to share this tweet, not because it will make some monumental difference or change the current trajectory, but because it’s the truth, and in the Great Divide War, the truth is our nuclear weapon. It might take longer to spread to every corner of the globe, but eventually, it’ll get there.

God bless Laken Riley’s family, and may she rest in everlasting light and peace.
