Notice how all of these "protests" are happening in States with a Dem Gov?
Yea, he is also doing the same thing in my state: Just tweeted "LIBERATE MINNESOTA".
I dont necessarily agree with *all* the provisions of the Michigan governor, but certainly the majority of them are justified. And Trump is now inciting, with his tweets, the same sort of protests in other states as well, as noted in other posts in this thread.Michigan, for example, made it illegal to visit another residence, and is dictating what stores can or cannot sell.
People there got a reason.
Isn't it snowing in the St Paul area today? Should make for some fun protesting conditions.I dont necessarily agree with *all* the provisions of the Michigan governor, but certainly the majority of them are justified.

I live in Minnesota, and we are now having protests, and our governor has done an excellent job in managing the crisis. As I said above, Trump was stymied by both liberals and conservatives in his desire to personally direct the opening of the economy. So now he is going to incite his base to do the dirty work for him.

You have to reframe it in reality show terms, bringing people together wouldn't bring you ratings in a slump.Normal leadership says "time to bring everybody together in this tragic pandemic" Trump "its time to divide and sew chaos".
Naw, we have had a very mild spring (relatively speaking) in the Twin Cities. We officially had 6 inches of snow last week, but it only accumulated on grassy surfaces and melted very quickly. It is sunny and in the 50s today, with no snow left on the ground.Isn't it snowing in the St Paul area today? Should make for some fun protesting conditions.
you can wish in one hand and shit in the other and see which fills up faster.Exactly thats all I'm asking people to do is take care of themselves and handle the real world like grown ups and not need daddy to bail them out.
i'd love to see thisCuomo tore Trump a new asshole on having to Thank him in his daily brief this morning. It went on for probably 20 minutes. It was beautiful. I'll see if a link is available. Fact checking his words through the whole thing.
Still doesn't explain the protestors all being Trumpers.Michigan, for example, made it illegal to visit another residence, and is dictating what stores can or cannot sell.

i didn't get in a wreck so i didn't need to wear my seatbelt!

See, that's the rub. Humans have a hard time thinking for themselves. It seems we prefer to align with groups based on certain criteria, whether we know it or not. It seems that's how fear and hate take such a prevalent role in societies, including ours.
In fact, speaking like you is often frowned upon and many humans are taught to attack people who would be intellectual types.
Just my opinion.

they kind of remind me of thisIt was all very obvious how coming out of this was going to play out. Instead of taking responsibility for having people stay home as long as necessary, trump has offloaded that responsibility to the governors. This of course allows him to attack the governors and win political biscuits from his followers by calling for 'liberation,' even though he's been told it's the right thing to do. These aren't geniuses we're dealing with here.
Does anyone truly 'think for themselves'? Aren't we all defined by the groups we are members of? "No man is an island" and all that. We are products of our cultures and sub-cultures, that's what we are built out of.
I think the closest we can achieve is introspection on a regular basis, about anything. Self awarenesses, analyzing why we did something, reacted in a certain way, said something, etc..and changing what we don't like
I dont think all humans are capable of this.
Ohio protesters as well. Some say it looks like the zombie apocalypse .
"A photo shot by Joshua A. Bickel of The Columbus Dispatch captured a view of angry protesters through the glass doors of the statehouse as they called on DeWine to reopen the state, according to the newspaper. "
