Fight breaks out between protesters. I love it when they fight among themselves.

If I’d spent all my money on costumes and weapons, I’d want to go out and show it off.

That sounds like it would involve…feelings. That’s something for the wiminfolk, not these manly men with their beards and guns.

Michigan United for Liberty members were probably upset with the splitters from Liberty for a United Michigan…

You should see the comments. Excellent. These morons aren’t doing anything to advance their white nationalist cause and the wingnut conservatives, including the DeVos clan, are wasting their money and getting a light shown on the real motives.

This sign beggars the question - Are you [still] following the advice of WHO, NIH, CDC? Because it kinda looks like you’re not.

Look at those fools. They have devolved to the point where fighting each other is all they have left. What a bunch of losers.

What is that supposed to be?

Crowd was smaller because the paid for protesters at the last protest were not there. Koch Brothers decided to not fund these protest anymore saying they are relying on science rather than conspiracy theories.

Axes? Who do they think they are. Vikings? What knuckle dragging morons.

“Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D), who has been the subject of violent threats from some in Facebook groups supporting the protest …”

Regardless of how they handle armed protesters, violent threats are illegal and should be dealt with by the state police in Michigan. Have there been any arrests? If not, why not?
