QANON/MAGA rally in Lansing, MI

This image from the protest perfectly captures the idiocy of the participants:

Trump has already written off MI anyhow. He doesn't really care if they die. So their protest was useless and just served to infect a bunch of them. The tragedy is that they'll spread the virus to innocent people.

I have a feeling this protest will likely sicken and/or kill off a substantial segment of Trump’s most fervent supporters in Michigan.

Oh the irony.

Did enough of those morons get out of their cars to get sick?

All that matters is that the democrats show up.
And they can’t vote if they’re dead.
So, Whitmer is definitely making the right call.

This! I live in Michigan. There are good things hsppening with the "draconian" restrictions in place. The convention center they turned into a hospital only has a few patients, not 900. Another place is not going to open because the curve is flattened.

These restrictions only go to the end of the month. It snowed today in Michigan so you don't need to be out on your damn boat. No one puts flowers in here until Memorial Day if they are smart.

This just hysterical conservatives trying to takr down a woman.

I think the weakest part of her order was banning construction and landscaping. That was problematic.

It's amazing how you people keep referring to her gender. Are people not allowed to protest measures by an elected official if that official is A WOMAN??? JFC.

As to your last sentence, I completely agree. These are industries which can easily still be in business, just as they are here in VA. Lots of construction and landscaping projects going on around my town. Face it - while her restrictions are similar to many other states, she does take it too far.

There are other governors, some republicans, who have imposed much more "draconian" measures, yet for some reason, they are not being targeted.

Name them please

mike DeWine in Ohio

People in Ohio are unhappy and protesting.

What happened to these people as children for them to behave like this as adults? Bullied? Not smart in school? Bad parents? Absent parents? Failed athletes? And, now all grown up and blaming others for their failures. Pathetic. Grow up and take some responsibility for yourselves. Find a constructive way to make change. Maybe look at yourselves and decide to learn something new. Maybe get that high school diploma that would have required some civics and history lessons. Otherwise, go back to your ignorant way of life and get out of the way of first responders and others who are working everyday to contribute to society.

Nobody is happy, but Ohio isn’t seeing mass protests. There are a minority of people who have protested.

I read about the protests. 97% of cases are in Detroit and the immediate 3 metro Detroit counties. If you look at the rest of the state, most counties have less than 100 cases with many counties in the single digits. Detroit hospitals are a dumpster fire to be sure- but to be honest, you wouldn't want to be a patient there on a good day pre-covid. The rest of Michigan isn't like this. I have family in Michigan, several in healthcare (Drs and nurses) in larger cities, but not Detroit. They have said their hospitals are empty. Drs are sitting home because OR is closed, nurses are either laid off or (in the care of UofM) in union and still going to work but with 1/8 the patients they would normally have.

I'm not saying the Governor is wrong, but Michigan does have super strict, possibly the strictest, stipulations to the state wide stay at home order. I think total lock down in Detroit and maybe something slightly modified for the rest of the state could have been equally effective without being so dramatic to all the business over areas that are not showing spread.

This is flat out wrong.

Ohio, Kansas, Montana, West Virginia, New Mexico, Alaska, Vermont, Rhode Island, Delaware, Maine and Maryland have MORE RESTRICTIVE lockdown orders than Michigan, per the WSJ.

So, I must ask: what gave you the impression that Michigan was the strictest? It sounds like you were ignorantly swayed by propaganda. I wonder why?

I knew that poster was thinking of DeWine. I would advise anyone to look up DeWine's history and then ask themselves if people are unhappy and protesting in Ohio over DeWine, whether or not they'd vote for a democrat or a conservative.

I heard a doc from MI on the radio this AM from an area outside Detroit saying they are treating more attempted suicides than Covid - that they haven't seen one Covid patient

It’s it at all surprising that so many of you will go out of your way to defend nonviolent civil disobedience unless it doesn’t meet your purpose.
You people are hypocrites.

Those morons just infected each other and will pass it on to MeeMa in their rural towns. They literally just spread the virus all over the state because they don't know how to practice self-discipline.

If they act like spoiled children, they should get the belt.

When the civil disobedience may prolong the very thing being protested, it deserves to be maligned.

Didn't they stay in their cars or wear masks?
