The Terrorist Attack On Michigan's Capitol Should Have Been A Warning

 

     Quite surprisingly, Michigan recently banned weapons on legislative grounds. Despite being, according to Republicans, a "strong pro-carry state," the line was crossed when men stormed the building with assault rifles over COVID restrictions. This came after Governor Gretchen Whitmer imposed restrictions designed to limit the spread of the virus.

     This also came after Donald Trump called for Michiganders to "liberate" the state from "the woman from Michigan." This also preceded the arrests of 14 men for trying to kindap Whitmer and the incitement by Trump of another assault, this time a violent one after he lost the election that resulted in numerous deaths and injuries at the U.S. Capitol.

     We saw what Donald Trump was capable of making his cult do, and we should have taken the repeated acts of violence in Michigan as a warning.
