Gretchen ‘Il Duce” Whitmer may not be happy Wednesday
Paul LaFrance, a business owner who lives in the Detroit metro area, has never protested. But that’s going to change this week.
He’s joining a group of Michigan residents planning to protest their governor’s stay-at-home order at the Michigan Capitol in Lansing on Wednesday.
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, a Democrat who was elected in 2018, issued a new stay-at-home order on Thursday to combat the coronavirus pandemic. The order, one of the nation’s most stringent, included closing parts of big-box stores that sell gardening and home-improvement goods, limiting the use of motorboats, closing public golf courses, and curbing interstate travel.

“To say that I am furious about this would be an understatement,” LaFrance told Insider. “This is a complete overreach by the government.”
The Facebook event for the protest, organized by the Michigan Conservative Coalition and the Michigan Freedom Fund, instructs people to stay in their cars and “honk horns, paint cars or bring signs” to express their displeasure. More than 3,000 Facebook users have indicated that they plan to attend.
I wonder if Imelda Marcos, er, Gretchen Whitmer will sick the police on these people? And if the police will respond, or say “whoa, hold on a moment, what are we doing? This authoritarian stuff is not us, and we still have a 1st Amendment.”
