Michigan Governor Whitmer Asks Why State Protests Didn’t Happen During World War II
2020-04-22
[THECONSERVATIVETREEHOUSE] "In World War II, there weren’t people lining up at the capitol to protest the fact that they had to drop everything they were doing and build planes or tanks, or to ration food.”

Does anyone want to tell Whitmer the difference is during the war effort people were working and getting paid; but under her unilateral decrees people are forbidden from working and no-one is earning a living…. Which is the entire reason for the protests.

#13  Michigan Healthcare workers being sent home due to lack of work. Seems people are staying out of hospitals to avoid virus. Can't go to Detroit hospitals as workers there say they would quit. Whitless is not liked at all as I am told by those from Michigan recently.

#12  #8 & #9, the reason your comments disappeared is because you tried to link more than two links (of any kinds) It's an anti spam thing.

If you need to link to more than two things, make an separate comment post for every two links.

#10  Note to the Governor, interning everyone like they were Americans of Japanese ancestry was indeed the very model of a WW2 era Democratic party leader.

#8  Damn, I had videos and everything but the comment just vaporized when I tried to post.
Yes Detroit did. Including a major race riot in 1943.

#6  A more apt comparison is Bonus Army (1932):
(wiki)"The Bonus Army was a group of 43,000 demonstrators – made up of 17,000 U.S. World War I veterans, together with their families and affiliated groups – who gathered in Washington, D.C. in mid-1932 to demand early cash redemption of their service certificates."

#5  It was a Dem who got us into the World War, parts 1 & 2, and another Dem who dropped not one but two A-bombs.

#4  Maybe we wanted to defeat the Krauts en masse and the United States of that era was far, far more patriotic than you Dem Chi-com load swallowers are now? Just a stray thought.
