im not even gonna get into the dcexaminer and rt links.

whitmer has a 70+ approval in the state based on her handling of the crisis (including a strong majority of repubs). the majority of people in michigan trust her handling of the crisis over trump.

the repub governor of ohio has basically handled everything the same way as whitmer (and has similarly high approval). but for some reason theres nobody in pickup trucks protesting him.

right wing nutjobs are tryna astro turf their own protest movement and make it an election year issue.

there were like 40 people protesting today lol. the entire point was to get outsized/disproportionate media coverage then spin on fox news and facebook.

then of course mainstream media drones like chris cilizza at cnn start amplifying it (because nothing drives the dc news cycle like whatever repubs have chosen to be fake mad about)

and pretty soon everyone is forced to address it like its a major/polarizing issue. making it a major/polarizing issue.
