People should have thought about these things, decades ago, but they didn't ...

From recent pictures I've seen these Michigan protesters are angry. And would be violent, but hopefully, they're not that stupid.

Nope, just corruption:

Thomas Jefferson, Epidemics and His Vision for American Cities

"Thomas Jefferson was not only the author of the Declaration of Independence and the third president of the United States, but also an agrarian visionary who wanted America to be a nation of small family farms. Jefferson’s distaste for cities is well known. He called them “pestilential to the morals, the health, and the liberties of man.” To his closest friend, James Madison, he wrote in 1787, the year of the American Constitution, “When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as in Europe.”"

I am not surprised. Most of our founding fathers didn't live in cities I can only think of say the Addams and Franklin that were in cities. Many of our early presidents didn't. That said, mostly today's towns are what were cities back then for the most part. New York was in no way a skyscraper jungle until after the Civil War.

I haven't seen a plausible answer to that question yet.

Now that "B" and evil of a MI governor ooops, I mean tyrannical dictator - she better watch her step. I want to elaborate but not on a internet forum.
No doubt the governors if both states are quaking in their boots ...

It's astounding this far into the pandemic that people have to be reminded that this is NOT the flu.

Not even close.

terrorism (n): the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.

This protest was lawful. It's allowed under our Constitutional Rights.

There was no violence.

There was no intimidation.

It was not against civilians. It was against our government. Something that is allowed in our Constitution.

It was not for political purposes. It was to protest overreach by our government.

Just because you are terrified of guns, and tremble in fear at the mere sight of one, carrying one does not make you a terrorist.

A) There was no storming

B) Comments like this are exactly the reason that Trump won in 2016, and will win again
