Here's a video clip from the protest outside Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson's house in Detroit tonight.
I swiped the video off one of the protestor's Facebook posts. They're yelling, "Stop the Steal!" into megaphones and calling her a felon(?) They're clearly living in an alternate reality.
"She's a Democrat. She's a Dem-o-Rat. She's decided to completely ignore all the credible, credible, fraudulent evidence that's been continually presented and pointed out!"
She's says, "It's about our Soveren-Tree" (?)
There's a security guard that's come out and is standing on Benson's front porch shining an spotlight on the protestors.
The protestor who's video-taping this takes time out to criticize the pile of leaves on Benson's lawn.
The protestors are very excited to see all the police who have arrived. "We are winning, Baby Doll! We will never allow election fraud! We will take this election back by the president who won it by a landslide! By a landslide!"
It's all absurd and crazy.

Everything about Trump's rally tonight was an awful assault on the United States.
Does it ever feel to you like a physical punch to the gut?
The worst of it is that Republicans don't care and will do nothing more than calculate how Trump's rally affects their chances of controlling the senate.
I was always taught - in school and at home - to revere our Constitution. Seeing it trashed by the highest office holder is devastating.
I'm watching the Michigan State Canvassing Board meeting. I think one of the two Republicans is definitely inclined to certify. The other one, Shinkle, is a piece of nasty work though.
But I'm getting ready to breathe a sigh of relief.
Ugh. Now Laura Cox, the Republican MI GOP chair, is speaking and tells the board she thinks they should delay the certification because everything in the election was "stacked against Republicans."
She "demands that Republicans be respected."
I'm encouraged that Aaron Van Langevald (the reasonable r) didn't ask her questions.
Now John James's attorney is speaking. He's an ass too. He's basically telling them to delay.
GOP is calling for an audit to give the MI SCB an excuse to delay certification.
The next play is to cast enough doubt to shade MI's Republican legislature's treasonous move to appoint its own electors. Whitmer could appoint a competing slate.
Biden needs transition clearance NOW. But House Dems are just sitting around waiting to hear back from @GSAEmily after a letter they sent a few days ago.
