Patrick Colbeck, one of the loudest proponents of voter fraud claims, calls the 2020 election a “coup.” He later suggested there’s still time for judges to overturn the result.

Audra Johnson is running to primary @RepMeijer. Several people in the crowd called Meijer a traitor when Johnson criticized his vote to impeach Trump for inciting an insurrection. Johnson says they’re right.

Conservative radio host Tudor Dixon says Gov. Whitmer supports rapists and cartels because the feds and an Albion nonprofit signed a facilities agreement to house unaccompanied migrant children.

The rally featured a lot of anti-vax rhetoric as Michigan COVID cases surge. Here’s Christina Parks, a biologist who speaks at vaccine choice and religious freedom events around the state.

“There’s a lot of people who are vaccine hesitant. They need you to finish the job off.”

1. It AMAZES me how many T**** signs I STILL see up. Get over yourselves... nt

[IrishAfricanAmerican]

2. The whole GD country has a trumper problem!

[global1]

3. Every Weekend In Schaumburg, IL - Trumpers Gather On The Corner Of Golf & Meecham.....

with Trump flags, bullhorns and signs and created a spectacle. I understand this is happening all around the U.S..

We're over 100 days into Biden's Administration and these Tr**pers are still out in force.

1. I don't know what they are trying to prove, and 2. Who is funding these Tr**per groups/rallies all around the country?

I just don't get it and I'm worried that the Dems are going to lose the House in 2022 and any progress that will have been made will be undone.

The Repugs have put roadblocks in all around the country with respect to voter suppression. They are masters at gerrymandering. They lie and twist reality 180 degrees.

They have the advantage in the State Governments and it seems like the Dems are grossly outmaneuvered.

What's going to happen?

5. The new Tea Party of 2020

Probably same idiots, probably the same financial backers (Kochs, Mercer's, DeVos') too.

[Efilroft Sul]

12. The Pee Party

[madinmaryland]

17. Dick Armies army of Dick's. nt.

[Walleye]

6. They're financing it with their stimulus checks and their extended unemployment

They haven’t thanked us yet though

[TheRealNorth]

4. Michigan has always had a RW nutjob problem

See: Timothy McVeigh, Terry Nichols

[East-A-Squared]

10. And the Hatriots who plotted to kidnap Gov Whitmer.

[Blue Owl]

7. I'm kinda surprised that Donny doesn't attend these shindings

So he can bask in the idiot glory, and have his brief, ego-stroking YMCA moment in the sun, and feel relevant for just a little bit again...

Meanwhile, how the FUCK did we manage to make it through four years of this clown???

[Solly Mack]

8. My goodness. That's all so very unfortunate.

[TheRealNorth]

9. At first, I thought it looked like a Tilt-o-whirl

I would stay far away from any Carnival Ride with Trump's name on it. You will either end up sick or dead (or both).

[WarGamer]

11. when weak minded gullible people have their minds filled with bullshit...

Look at the outcome.

[roamer65]

13. Rural MI has a Dumper problem.

The urban areas went solidly for Joe Biden.

Metro Detroit is now a big Democratic area.

[Kaleva]

15. There are more Trumpers in Metro Detroit then in all of UP and much of N MI put together

While Trump got 62% of the vote in my county, that comes out to be 1/100th of the vote he got in Wayne county.

[roamer65]

19. Then why do I see all the Dump signs out in the Thumb area?

I don’t see them down here in the burbs. Plus the Thumb has been the national problem child for COVID.

[Kaleva]

22. Look at the numbers and not just the signs.

Trump got just over 264,000 votes in Wayne County in 2020. The entire population of Upper Michigan's 15 counties is a little over 311,000. 42.8% of the vote Trump got came from counties Biden won.

[roamer65]

23. This is deeper problem.

I see major cult extremism up there.

Reminds me of the Jonestown shit from 40 plus years ago.

[Kaleva]

27. You may see it in the Thumb but I don't see it in the UP.

[Kaleva]

28. Crunching numbers. 75% of the Trump vote came from the 27 counties considered "Mostly urban"

25% of the vote Trump got came from the 56 counties considered "All rural" or "Mostly rural".

14. Wow! I am so NOT impressed at the dozen people who showed up.

These people are pathetic. Michigan has a population of about 10 million.

[Kaleva]

16. That's what i noticed. Not that many people showed up.

18. Get Back To Me In A Year

When convictions hit, and more are implicated in the insurrection, it won't be so cute any longer.
They'll crawl back into their snake holes and their supposed influence will evaporate.

[roamer65]

20. I don't hold you optimism on it.

I hope you are right, but these deplorables are real idiots.

[ProfessorGAC]

25. In A Year...

...they'll still be idiots.
They'll just get less attention.

[JNelson6563]

21. Clearly you don't know our rubes.

[catbyte]

24. That's a big reason why I got the hell out of Kent County & moved to a great, blue county.

[Buns_of_Fire]

26. C'mon everyone! Let's do the MAGA Dance!

[BootinUp]

29. I laughed at first at the title
