Michigan mouth breathers protesting shelter in place. They want to go out
- Thread starter Dr. Truth
- Start date
This is the black version of the protest, some black fool like Boyce Watkins after leaving Fox Newscorp studios probably organize it (offering free food and alcohol) and these people unknowingly show up to have fun. Now they can claim you are protesting the stay at home order, it is violating your Civil Rights.
We ride the mass transit systems and live in crowded cities.

The idiot in this picture is Rob Cantrell. Rob doesn't live in Michigan. He's from California and he's affiliated with the white supremacist community. Rob is part of the Proud Boys. Someone paid for Rob to be able to come to a "protest" in Lansing, Michigan. Those Confederate and Nazi flags were a message. Pay attention.
Think!!

Absolutely right. It's been proven the DeVos family/syndicate paid a lot of the organizers of these rallies.
And if that name sounds familiar it's because trump appointed one betsy DeVos as Secretary of Education. A position which not only was she unimaginably unqualified for, but one in which she has shown no interest in any type of education but only in enriching herself and her family. By the billions.
But that's trump's mafia-style administration. He takes his cut of the pie in the form of campaign contributions or dark money.
Bitch it Dont even be no cookouts
FOh

Fight erupts at Michigan Capitol over doll with noose around neck
The fight started after one protester tried to take the doll off the noose.
You don't get to a place where you're hanging nude Barbie dolls without some issues with root causes going on there.
Texas folks especially, you're gonna want to follow Lauren Elizabeth Summerville for more up-to-date news and opinions.
Toxic masculinity. Women are involved as well, but most of this is led and fomented by men.
Men are not taught and encouraged to deal with emotion. Men are conditioned to believe that action is their best mode of expression.
Anxiety, uncertainty, sadness, inactivity are difficult to work through for everyone. Many men derive their sense of self-worth, identity, and connection from their job/career.
Take those grounding elements away, ask a man to sit with anxiety and uncertainty, and tell him that there is nothing to actively "do" about it...and he goes batshit crazy. Anyone who has ever been in a relationship with a man has probably experienced this at some point. You may want him to listen to, acknowledge, and empathize with your situation...instead, he designs an action plan to "fix" it.
So many of them cannot fathom that staying home, wearing masks, washing hands, etc is actually doing something.
More importantly, they feel helpless and vulnerable and can not handle those feelings. They will not accept that they are scared and resort to asinine posturing and pontificating in order to self-soothe...taking rocket-launchers to Subways, parading around as sad militaristic LARPers, crowding sports bars, demanding golf tee times and tattoos, and taking over state capitols.
The frightening thing for us all is that these sad, frightened little boys will cause the avoidable deaths of so many more through infection and gun violence.
I've been thinking about this latest eruption of impotent male rage over the last few weeks. I keep hoping that an expert will address in print, social media, or via TV the psychology behind this, and that it is of a piece with so many other ills in our country.
We have a systemic disease and the flare-ups are interconnected symptoms of the rot...not merely concerning yet isolated manifestations.
The intersectionality of it all is why we need WoC at the center of leadership. They know how and where anti-#MeToo/antivaxx/White supremacist/anti-union/anti-immigration/pro-birth etc cultures overlap, how they prop up the system, and how best to dismantle them.

Trump Is Treating Michigan the Way He Treated Ukraine. Well Done, Senate Republicans

A few weeks before President Trump was impeached last December for attempting to blackmail Ukraine into investigating Joe Biden, Stanford law professor Pamela Karlan warned the House Judiciary Committee of a future in which the president used similar tactics on his own country:
“Imagine living in a part of Louisiana or Texas that’s prone to devastating hurricanes and flooding. What would you think if you lived there and your governor asked for a meeting with the president to discuss getting disaster aid that Congress has provided for? What would you think if that president said, ‘I would like you to do us a favor? I’ll meet with you, and send the disaster relief, once you brand my opponent a criminal.’
Wouldn’t you know in your gut that such a president has abused his office? That he’d betrayed the national interest, and that he was trying to corrupt the electoral process? I believe the evidentiary record shows wrongful acts on those scale here.”
It didn’t take long for Karlan’s hypothetical to sidle up next to reality. Trump has repeatedly criticized Democratic governors throughout the coronavirus crisis, the implication being that there could be repercussions if they fail to cooperate with the administration or show their gratitude to the president. In late March, Trump came pretty close to laying out a quid pro quo during an interview with Fox News. “It’s a two-way street,” the president said while discussing states in need of federal assistance. “They have to treat us well, also.”
On Wednesday, Trump’s demands grew more specific. As part of his morning Twitter movement, he posted that he will withhold funding from Michigan and Nevada, two key swing states, if they expand voter access ahead of the 2020 election.
Trump initially accused Michigan of sending out vote-by-mail ballots to residents, before later posting a corrected tweet (and deleting the earlier one) specifying that they’re sending out vote-by-mail applications. But so are Republican-controlled states like Georgia. Nothing remotely “illegal” is taking place here. But these types of distinctions — or, facts — are immaterial to Trump’s continued effort to restrict voter access and sow doubt in the legitimacy of the electoral process.
Just to be clear: There is no evidence of widespread voter fraud, either by millions crossing state lines to vote multiple times, a nonexistent scheme Trump has cited in explaining his popular-vote loss to Hillary Clinton, or through vote-by-mail. According to a recent survey published by the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research, there’s no evidence vote-by-mail helps Democrats, either. The only thing expanding vote-by-mail means is more people will be able to vote, especially as the coronavirus has heightened the risk of standing in lines.
Lambasting the practice has nevertheless become a tent pole of Trump’s 2020 campaign, the goal being to ensure as few Americans as possible are able to make it to the polls. Trump believes that the more people who vote, the worse his chances are. He said as much while discussing Democrats’ efforts to increase funding for absentee ballots and vote-by-mail in the coronavirus relief package. “They had levels of voting, that if you ever agreed to it you’d never have a Republican elected in this country again,” he told Fox News on March 30th.
Now, Trump is trying to blackmail crucial swing states into suppressing their vote-by-mail initiatives. One of them, Michigan, is not only struggling with COVID-19, but with historic floods in the center of the state. How could Trump be so brazen? Well, he already got away with trying to blackmail a foreign nation into interfering in the 2020 election. Why wouldn’t he do it again?
Karlan tried to warn the House of Representatives that this could happen. After Trump was impeached, Democrats issued similar warnings to the Senate Republicans voting on whether to remove him from office. “The president solicited a personal political benefit in exchange for an official act,” Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) said during the impeachment trial. “If this Senate were to say, ‘That’s acceptable’ … [this] could take place all across America in the context of the next election, with grants allocated to cities or towns or municipalities all across the country.”
But Senate Republicans did indeed deem it acceptable, many of them arguing that Trump having to endure the impeachment process was punishment enough. “I believe that the president has learned from this case,” Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) told CBS News after Trump was acquitted. “The president has been impeached. That’s a pretty big lesson.”
Three months later, the lesson appears to be that that even if Trump flagrantly abuses his office, Senate Republicans will vote to protect him.
