(9,082 posts)whole lot of who inhabits Michigan. The place was almost destroyed by the republicans previously, and now Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer is just trying to put humpty-dumpty back together again. There are a lot of really nasty people in Michigan....as well as some totally awesome ones. But it's the nasty ones that have been trying to kill the governor and terrorize the democratic legislators.
Rachel Maddow's show last night was a keeper. It was awesome.

(25,929 posts)Yes, we saw it. The Flint catastrophe is one for the ages. How Snyder took over Black cities ..pure authoritarianism.
So glad he's being personally criminally sued.

(12,482 posts)Since the nuts planned to kidnap the governor he and his wife, both professors, have been trying to find jobs somewhere else. They want out of Michigan along with more than a few others, both at MSU and UM. I guess they don't care if they lose smart people. They have options outside of academics. I expect them to explore those.

I guess he had some nasty confrontations, being a progressive economics professor!

(3,557 posts)Very sad. OTOH, if those terrorists start shit, I expect to see teargas, flashbangs, rubber bullets, batons, and whatever it takes to crush them.

(37,854 posts)I heard on MSNBC this morning that some Michigan militia members were staying away after what happened in D.C.. They heard that the Boogaloo Bois and the Proud boys were planning on attending, and wanted nothing to do with it. My jaw nearly dropped. Lol!
