Oso planning to go pro
My congressman is contemplating a run for president. Michigan is going to be rocking for the next 6+ months.
I say let the nuts out to play. When centrist independent voters see this, I don't think they are gonna embrace it.
There is no "Ohio" thread, but since Michigan seems to have been the point of origin of the protests, here is the one in Ohio today where protesters were demanding that DeWine "open the state". I guess he was saving too many lives for their liking.
Okay....But you're blocking people from doing their jobs as healthcare workers during a pandemic. That's my point in this situation. I couldn't care less about the political ramifications
For any particular party?
Independent or Libertarian. Probably Libertarian, as they already have structure in place. Ironically.
Paint brushes are out thick by many posters, hey.
Maybe. But why not answer my question? Why were people waving confederate flags?
Dewine having the same protests in Ohio is actually heartening. Metaphorical hat tip to him.
People wave confederate flags because it is a sign of rebellion. Are some of them racist? Of course. Are some of them "less racially sensitive" and feel that minorities are over-reacting when they see that symbol? Undoubtedly.But over the course of my life I have met plenty of people who share that mind-set who aren't what I would describe as "racist."
And that is sort of the problem. They don't understand what that flag means to a lot of people. Whoever came up with the idea of calling it the "Rebel" flag was thinking really far ahead in their racism. It should have been branded the "Traitor" flag, and been banned the way that the Nazi flag is banned in Germany.
I blame the Dukes of Hazard.
