Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer compared the COVID-19 battle to World War II and asked:
“In World War II, there weren’t people lining up at the capitol to protest the fact that they had to drop everything they were doing and build planes or tanks, or to ration food.”
Does anyone want to tell Whitmer the difference is during the war effort people were working and getting paid; but under her unilateral decrees people are forbidden from working and no-one is earning a living…. Which is the entire reason for the protests, DUH.

It's hard to beat my governor, OP. But she's even worse than Phil Murphy.

Hmm. One of those "if you have to ask, you woudn't understand the explanation" kind of things.
Half Whitmer indeed.

Because people like Governor Whitmer weren't in charge, doing remarkably foolish and tone deaf things during WWII.

Why would people protest having jobs? Doesn't she realize the protests are because businesses are shut down and people are out of work?

Judging from Democrat leaders it appears that their political advisors have started suggesting that they cover for their condescension and stupidity by acting like they stepped into office from another planet.

Well, if that statement didn't remove her from being considered for VP, or any major Cabinet position.
Although, Democrats can excuse, justify and rationalize most things to ensure it fits their agenda.

Typical democrat. Completely clueless about history. During WWII, no one had to stay in their home and not travel. If travel was restricted, it was because gasoline was rationed as was rubber used for tires. Sugar was also rationed. Going through my grandparents home after their deaths, I found a couple of ration books along with baking recipes that did not call for sugar.

Maybe the scale of the difference eludes her. World wide, we've had something just over 100,000 deaths in about four months. During WWII, that was the average number of deaths every four days.

Anyone who has studied History 101 in college knows that there were always antiwar protests in the USA -- even during WWII!!!
But to be such an evil and stupid woman to say such a thing without fact checking it first just shows how stupid and evil lie-berals have become in this country in 2020!!!!!!

No they didn't protest, although they knew the war, a just war, would likely (and did) cost one-half million of their sons their lives.
Just like they wouldn't protest the governor allowing them to work and restart our economy, even though they recognize the inevitable (although far less than the "experts" predict) number of seasonal flu deaths that might follow.
Get it, Governor? Think really hard, even if it makes your head hurt.

i am posting this comment as carefully as possible.
follow me here.
I read an article, some time ago, about modern sex dolls., The dolls, which cost about five thousand dollars, are almost lifelike,and the customer can specify various characteristics - height, hair color, hair/no hair on the secret garden, skin color, eye color, breast size, and so forth.
The article included photos of the sex dollos. They are eerily almost human.
governor whitmer looks to me like a peculiar custom order, paid for by a guy with odd tastes.
she is eerily almost human.

Maybe because the only people locked away at that time--by the Democrats incidentally--were American citizens of Japanese ancestry.

During WWII, most democrats didn't openly hate their own country and its people. Yes, some were pulling for the communists in the 1940s but many democrats, particularly in the South, were simply liberal in their political orientation, not raging leftists.

They still had jobs, they were paid for those jobs, and they were patriotic citizens contributing to the war effort to defeat the Japanese and Hitler. While you governor Jackboots are a tyrannical, unconstitutional little mental runt who proves every day that you have no clue. You make Creepy Joe look like Einstein right now.
We could tell her many reasons, but we can't understand them all for her. If they reelect this twit, they deserve no mercy with regards to the mockery they get from the rest of us.

During WWII Hollywood, media, working & non working people supported the war effort by endorsing war bonds, people who had never worked went to work in factories, donating medal, making cloth bandages, volunteering, joining the armed forces...

Uh... maybe because people were trying to preserve our country. Homes had gold stars hanging in the window, families all had loved ones gone for years or gone forever. People at home rationed food, collected rubber and metal. Women replaced men in factories to survive. Same American spirit.
