So the US has got Trump supporting the 'liberation' of Democrat states, (though not Republican states) whilst in the UK we've got Starmer shouting for 'an exit from lockdown'...
So whether you are worthy of survival seems to be becoming a factor of your region's political affiliation... Fantastic...

Fair enough.
But she wouldn't be receiving the hell she is her state right now if she had bothered to make her latest scatterbrained "orders" clear from beginning and hadn't already had unreasonably strict measures already in place.
She wast too busy grandstanding/making a national name for herself by laying down the low--and that shit backfired. Lol.

Yes, she would be recieving the same amount of hell from the same people no matter what the circumstance was or wasn't. This totalitarian state nonsense isn't covid related. It's a preexisting condition.

Are you speaking in general terms or are you referring to Michigan's emergency manager problem?

I'm referring to the rightwing nutball protests and misinformation surrounding the governors order. Those guys were always going to declare the democratic governor of anywhere a totalitarian dictator wannabe. Rand paul is singing the same song here about our governor (and our home improvement centers aren't even cordoned off....yet! ).
Rinse and repeat with states all over the us. It's a coordinated political messaging campaign. Regardless of our general lack of interest in supporting dem candidates or giggling at the inadequacy of the dem ticket at the national level, that's the reality of the issue in the stories you were reading.
People can buy whatever they want, buying whatever we want is not a right, and there's nothing unreasonable about cordoning off areas that people are congregating in, already under guidelines, during an outbreak.
-zooming out into the general, we have white house advisors like Stephen Moore floating the idea to any rag that will listen and print it..that these neo-confederate morons are the new rosa parks. Meanwhile, the president of the united states declares them to be Very Responsible People and tweets out "LIBERATE MICHIGAN!".

You mean like this one?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Sure, but she doesn't have the right to spread it to others. This isn't like having an abortion, an abortion only affects one person, you cant spread an abortion to others like a virus.
And her ignorance makes her dangerous.

If a governor mandated that pregnant women should stay six feet away from other people, or be roped off, to keep them from breathing on others and thus making them pregnant....then we would have an example of a thoroughly unreasonable and tyrannical order.
