Michigan Governor: ‘Revolting Against A Tyrannical Government Is Simply Un-American’

Via The Babylon Bee

DETROIT, MI—On Meet the Press Sunday, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer reminded everyone that “revolutions and revolts are simply un-American.”

Whitmer called on the protesters in her state to stop their illegal assembling, reminding them that protesting so-called tyranny is a foreign idea to the history of the United States.

“Protesting and revolting against your wise rulers goes against everything America was built on,” she said. “It flies in the face of every American tradition. Revolting against tyranny has no place in this great country.”

Governor Whitmer then rattled off a long list of things that she also believes to be un-American:

  • Declaring independence from tyrants
  • Having a list of protected rights
  • Separation of powers
  • Democratically elected leaders
  • Freedom of religion, assembly, the press, protests, and speech.
  • Federalism
  • Apple pie
  • Baseball
  • America

“If you’re really Americans, you’ll stop with this dangerous revolutionary activity,” she concluded.

Speaking of revolting, how many pufferfish had to die to turn that face into a snare drum skin?

That will be explained away as ‘joking’.

It didn’t sound like joking to me, however, I totally agree with with your comment. It takes a lot to wake up the sheeple or in many cases the normalacy bias trumps the facts.

Just got off the phone with my father. He’s too smart to fall for this, but the hive mind is powerful. He asked me to explain why the obit section in the NYT was so large these days if it wasn’t what they said it was. I asked him if it wasn’t possible that perhaps now they’re padding it with the newly deceased hoi polloi to keep up the charade. I asked him to dig up and old NYT and look at the obits and see if he could find a single one that wasn’t about some connected poobah or elitist and compare to the recent ones. They don’t normally do obits for school teachers and doormen. Now every wino headed to Potter’s Field gets their name in the paper.

He was kind of surprised that I’d caught that and I told him it was because my foundational belief system is that we are always being lied to, therefore if they say something, automatically assume it is false and work towards the truth from there.

Tried the same with my own father who’s 75. I thought he got it but two days later called me saying “I think this is a really bad pandemic because of all the young healthy people who are dying.”

I basically told him exactly what you told your father. Despite growing up in an era when he thought media could generally be trusted, he’s more open minded than my brother and his wife.

I’m always astounded at demands of absolute proof when I call b.s. on the MSM, but no proof or evidence or even thought goes into questioning what comes out of the mouths of the talking heads. To most people, what they hear on t.v. is ground truth that must be disproven, and no amount of evidence can disprove what they were told to think by the media.

No thought is given to doubting the mainstream narrative, but every possible objection (and many impossible ones) is made against anything that contradicts the narrative.

This is why we’re screwed.

The governor operates under administrative law not the constitution. Administrative law is the perfect law that tyrants operate under. Why? Because their is no recourse provision in this form of law.

It is really disgusting she ignores her oath of office. It shows she cannot be trusted to serve the people. She serves administrative law.

Something just isn’t quite female about her appearance. Looks more like Caitlyn Jenner to me.

To look female, first you have to look human. That might be the problem – in both cases you mentioned.

She is not just wrong, she is the opposite of right. If she gets reelected, that would be just another sign that we have to fix our MSM and schools. Her constituents must be being fed BS.

I know a lawyer who is active in the Democrat party in Michigan; the guy is an idiot and has been so ever since we were classmates in elementary school.

Those are some of the most brain-dead comments I’ve ever heard from a politician.

She must be a product of public education, where the constitution and American revolution are not taught.

Who was it that said,”Those that don’t know history are doomed to repeat it.”?

I expect the mighty Gretchen to subvert the second amendment next.

As the true nationalist socialist party members (NAZI) attempt to use this general over reaction to a pandemic to restrict all Americans remember your birth right !
The Democrats want to restrict and control every aspect of your life and the Republicans want to control every dollar you earn may earn and both parties believe the money you earn is theirs and they allow you to keep what they decide you deserve providing you spend it for what they decide you need !
The restrictions regarding the COVID-19 virus are a cover up because between the shit bags in our Congress and senate the scammers in the federal reserve bank and the Wall Street jerk offs who together have managed the greatest transfer of wealth from the many of middle America to the few elitist in the history of the world . The actions and reactions over the last 40 years by the entire group of lying thieving scumbags have left them all scurrying about like cats covering their own shit as the entire economy crashes .
Watch once again what class of people get bailed out and made whole and who gets FUCKED AGAIN
And government wonks from top to bottom still get paid in full and I’m supposed to listen and obey . Well FUCK YOU !
