As a Michigander, I completely disavow these willfully ignorant idiots.



Protester: I used to be scared about coronavirus until I did the research

Reporter: I see you’re wearing a mask, are you at all concerned about the virus?

Protester: ... Yes

even normal supporters in my little hell hole. Said our group of rugged individualists embarrassed themselves. They actively worked to make county a hot spot 81 cases 9 deaths. Yet there they were.

It's about the dumbest way to protest pandemic safety measures. I don't know if they think they're trying to assert dominance over the virus or what. The virus doesn't care.

Saw it very early this morning on DU - 12 hrs ago or so.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if the virus only affected those who acted in willful ignorance & defiance of common sense? 🤬

You know, wink wink.

The hospitals are "empty" on the west side of the state, therefore the rules don't apply to them. Only to "Detroit."

"Those people" at the capitol today were my people. I know them, I know their minds, hell I probably went to school with a lot of them.

I went to a "good" school district and sat side by side with these people. Thankfully I left the small town where I grew up and allowed myself to experience the joy and pain of personal, spiritual and philosophical growth, while they stayed behind and festered. Shit, a lot of them left and festered still.

These days I walk around in a daze wondering if the whole fucking town I grew up in was a cult. With a few exceptions, they are all the same. "They think real small, they use small words" to quote Peter Gabriel. Such a fucking spot on song.
