Whitmer's edicts and messaging have been all over the place. So bad, that she apparently had to be reminded by staff that one of her arbitrary decrees would result in violating of cities' ordinances and imposition of fines, thus putting herself in the position of have fix, clarify or otherwise amend her nonsensical mishmash--which she's trying to push off as "thoughtful governance". Clearly it isn't.
The fact that Republicans are gonna Republican doesn't change that.
We've gone from a police state where people can't buy seeds to bad messaging. The wingnut welfare circuit got you worked up about something that wasn't happening. That's all. I wish that their opposition was better at messaging too.
That disparity really has been key to the rapid increase in the rate of american decline, or if we prefer, to abandoning any final pretense of america as we thought we knew it or as it could be. My list of gripes with the neo-confederates in power are loooooong, but I recognize that they're much better at propaganda than the other guys.
We are having this discussion, after all.
