I have a problem with fascist calling themselves anti fascist and then hiding themselves.  Regardless, this is about people peacefully protesting an out of control governor not causing any issues for emergency vehicles despite what you say.  More than likely the MI governor will not listen, so the recall avenue is next.

Many protestors are trying to (like idiots) prove that social distancing is government overreach by protesting in a way that breaks the law. Either they don't have a call to protest or they just don't care about the reality of this disease.  

I saw several protestors whooping up in a not safe distance from the reporter on the street, haming for the camera.  How is that "free speech"?

No, they're tea party supporters who are mad about a female Democrat running things. 

 

Antifa protests when they're a white supremacist rally. If you have a problem with an anti-fascist movement, you might not want to read up on World War 2.

I don't have a problem with an anti fascist movement. I have a problem with a fascist movement pretending to be an anti fascist movement, though.

Yep, it is pretty bad for those that will be left destitute by the actions of an over zealous Governor.  I also heard there are questions regarding the numbers coming from her health experts and these questions are not just coming from the GOP.  She, Whitmer, certainly seems to have a political agenda, but what else is new from a Democrat.

She's following CDC guidelines.
It's also a little hypocritical to say that she's overzealous while also suggesting

Marshal Law to prevent crime.  It is the logical next step.

She went above the CDC guidelines, or every other state would also be banning travel between residences, or things like golfing, etc.

 

As to martial law (I misspelled it originally to see if NB would catch it), I was being sarcastic, but with the sheriffs and other local leaders now saying they will not enforce her over reach, I suppose she is considering it.

There are plenty of states who have done this.

Again, plenty of states have done this. They've also closed parks.

Please name the states that ban someone from traveling to a second house, cabin or cottage, or have banned visiting a relative that lives in another residence?

This virus business is exposing two things:

1)  The propensity of some politicians (chiefly of one party) to release their authoritarian instincts.

B)  The overriding need to defeat Pres. Trump at any cost.

 

Caveat:  the above may actually be A) and 2).

I'm guessing your sarcasm meter is broken.  

 

Also, the CDC has never recommended tanking our economy nor spreading panic.  The worst is still ahead of us, unfortunately.

Protests are apparently linked to DeVos, because of course they are.

 

Quote

Organized by the Michigan Conservative Coalition and the Michigan Freedom Fund, the protest has drawn criticism over its links to Betsy DeVos's family.

"I think it's really inappropriate for a sitting member of the United States president's cabinet to be waging political attacks on any governor," Whitmer said, referring to the education secretary.

 

 

The Michigan Freedom Fund was founded by Greg McNeilly, a political adviser to the DeVos family, who has provided financial support to the organization.

They're denying the links, because of course they do.

So what?  Are only the Leftist able to be community organizers, and protest?

People linked to members of his cabinet are organizing an actual insurrection, not just protests, and he's showing his support during press conferences.

He didn't just say protest. He said "They should be under siege. Take your government back. Liberate." That's a call for violence and you can be certain that there are multiple extremist groups doing just that after he told them to on TV. People will die because of this.

Other than the fact that the DeVos family had contributed money to Michigan Freedom Fund in the past means nothing now.  If you have exculpatory evidence of Betsy DeVos actually paying to help organize the recent protest please provide it.

Not every favor has to be monetary. Though I like your theory that it's because they've given money in the past.
