“The pre-planned rally... featured speeches from religious leaders, members of the group Stand Up Michigan and the two most powerful lawmakers in the Republican-majority legislature.” https://twitter.com/mlive/status/1314382159730401282
“Both [House Speaker Lee] Chatfield and Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey, R-Clark Lake, were in attendance and gave remarks at the event.”
Stand Up Michigan organized this
Also Stand Up Michigan https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/2020/09/28/nessel-criminal-investigation-unlock-michigan-whitmer-emergency-powers/3559391001/

lol this isn’t even the point I was trying to make, just what brazen assholes they are https://www.freep.com/story/news/politics/elections/2020/09/22/recording-unlock-michigan-repeal-whitmer-covid/5850734002/ via @freep
The point I was trying to make was that Stand Up Michigan was also astroturfing the anti-masker rallies and blaming Whitmer with ads like this blowhard shit
The publish date on that is April 29. These groups had significant Facebook presence. This was April 30:
And all those groups on Facebook only opened up or in some cases rebranded from “Patriot” groups on April 14. Remember the “May Day Mutiny?” Here’s our story https://www.truthorfiction.com/operation-gridlock-facebook-may-day-mutiny/
Unlock Michigan already pre-emptively publicly distanced itself from all of it, only to double down lol https://www.mlive.com/public-interest/2020/10/what-we-know-about-the-plan-to-kidnap-michigan-gov-gretchen-whitmer.html
Anyway Facebook spread all that messaging everywhere fast and made sure everyone found each other and that one group alone has 70k+ members, and there are private groups just like this talking about doing stuff like this all over the country and they’re planning it all around
the election and interregnum period as part of a nasty power grab, and that’s where all that disinfo was going and why I beat up publicly on @Facebook so much, because they knew it, so be warned and be careful especially if you live somewhere with some sort of legacy
Like how the Pacific Northwest was a planned white ethnostate and what’s going on in major cities there lately, remind me
It’s really easy to stir up intergenerational ethnic resentments if you have the right data
I wonder if Michigan has anything like that in its recent history. Or perhaps some sort of strong streak of anti government resentment
