Anybody here still remember the occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge by the hard right? Fun times.

The reason I wear a mask and keep my distance from people isn't because I am afraid for myself. I'm afraid of myself for you, and others. Because I may be an asymptomatic carrier. I don't know, because I haven't been tested. And I can't live with someone getting sick or possibly dying because of me. I refuse to put others at risk for the sake of my freedom. I want to go out. I really do. Dammit, I want to go to Taco Bell. Or a Chinese buffet (because I love me some Chinese). Or Burro Loco (a local Mexican restaurant. It. Is. The. Bomb.) When this is over I'm going to hug everyone I see, because I miss hugs. A lot. And I know others do too. I want to go to church. But I refuse to do any of those things until we get a handle on this.

The government in that state is losing control of its people. Whole county governments are threatening to defy the orders. Armed gunmen are in the capital building and the republicans in the state house are trying to take away her power. Disorder and even violence may be coming to this upper midwestern state.

You cannot suppress the rights of Americans and not expect a large resistance. These people are patriots and I support them. This governor is likely going to be recalled. Her career is done. If she care at all about the state she represents then she should back down and then resign. If she digs in like you say then some very bad things may be coming for her state. Clearly the people do not support the virus lockdowns there. Government gains legitimacy from the consent of the governed. The people of Michigan obviously have not given consent for this level of government interference in their lives.

If it threatens the integrity of law and order, it will kill everyone, the American people still believe that it is more important than the existence of the nation.

If it happened again and they aren't breaking any laws, it's not my place to tell them what they can or cannot do. It doesn't matter about what I think of their message or purpose for assembling. I don't have any issue with BLM at all, but when they start making chants like "pigs in a blanket, fry em like bacon", I'm sorry but your movement starts to loose legitimacy if that kind of crap goes on at every "demonstration". And it's not just a couple bad apples saying crap like that. It's dozens of people chanting and advocating violence towards Americans.

Show me where you see this kind of stuff happening at this particular demonstration in Michigan. Or how about Trump rallies. I keep hearing that those are nothing but hate fests, but no one has been able to provide any legitimate evidence of this. Meanwhile, shameless agitators like Maxine Waters are advocating for democrats to get in people's faces and start crap if they are wearing a red hat. Total lies and hypocrisy from the left.

I doubt getting the right to raise your risk of getting the virus is worth it once you end up sick with it.

I taught history and I understand how our country works, probably better than you. These idiots are being funded by extreme right wing groups. They are Proud Boys and White Supremacists and they went there looking for trouble. If they wanted a peaceful protest, they wouldn't have had automatic weapons slung across their chests. These are the same people who marched in Charlotte chanting Jews will not replace us. They are Nazis, and as far as I am concerned Nazis have no rights.
