People in Michigan are protesting the lockdown.

Michigan went way too far. They basically shut down anything mildly tied to essential stores. You can't go in to Target and go in to any aisle but food related etc. A woman needed a baby seat and couldn't get to the baby section since it was roped off.

Good.

Is it very much different here, now DFW is planning to shut down FISHING. It's OK to go to Costco to buy it but don't you dare go out into the natural world to harvest your own.

What remains is how effective the local and state propaganda machines are in blaming the shutdown on Trump. MI is an important swing state for November so expect an all-out assault there and in the other swing states.

If I needed an essential item that was roped off
1 I would break the tape
2 I would retrieive the item
3 If prevented I would say"You really want to die for this"
4 Then just walk out the door

They also said you cannot go to a second home/cabin or visit family/friends. Essentially, you are forced to isolate in your primary residence.

The real question is, will those same people continue to vote in the same Democrats that want to strip them of their constitutional and civil rights?

Sadly, the answer is yes because people are dumb.

folks wanted to plant victory gardens to help with food production and feed themselves, and the dipschiff governor made it illegal to buy seeds.

libtarded.

It would have been awesome to be a fly on the wall in the Governor's office during this protest. I'll bet this cheap petty tyrant was having a fit and probably trying to figure out if she could use the National Guard to clear out the vermin. This sorry excuse for a human being mad a big point of banning Chloroquine, only to have her subordinates begging the federal government for more.

One term and done...

The government(s) are testing the limits of what they can enforce without public uprising. I think this schiff has gone far enough, I'm willing to join a protest in Sac if it happens.

Then they'll enforce the small groups, sanitation and social distancing 'rules'. Fine and arrest if protest doesn't disperse. It really is Catch 22 if clearer .gov heads don't prevail and dial things back. Those of us who've been focused on the evil in government for decades aren't surprised by any of this. These people are being who they really are. They're not going to change. That's reality. Where voting has become superfluous, CA being one example, Oregon where I live another, voters are largely impotent to get rid of them via legal means, enabling the status quo to become a de-facto dictatorship. I hope the protestors work bears fruit. I vastly prefer peaceable demonstration and lawful voting but at this point I believe some parts of the country are lost, unfortunately. Is MI a targeted canary? IDK. All this stuff seems more like a plan than stuff just happening. Something that's been worked on for a long time. Knowing the history of the humans involved I wouldn't be surprised. Anyway, godspeed and good luck.

I'd say a public, peaceful protest now is much better than outright civil unrest and violence when people start feeling the pinch of jobless/homelessness. Let them try and enforce 'rules', there is no legal basis for their rules. Let them try and fine people, it won't work if the people don't have money to pay and their constitutional rights are being subverted (can't prosecute). I think the worst thing is to not let them know what they are doing is wrong while they lead us off the economic cliff.

[user120312]

Yes, those with less history and more propensity for 'getting along', that's a good strategy. At half my age I would be one of them. Now, nah, too much cow-towing to evil under the belt. Had my fill too much death under the bridge to care. Evil humans aren't going to change, they'll either need to be completely removed from any semblance of power or killed. Like Trump did to that Iranian general. Our mistake, in general, is seeing these humans as 'our own' not the enemy like that Iranian general. In reality they don't care whether we live or die, only that their power base continue and strengthen, whatever it takes. Sure they wordsmith it up in all that flowery Ivy League BS language but it's still the same thing, BS. Watch, as people get more frustrated they'll appear more calm and reasonable. There, there battery, it'll be OK. Yup.
