A violent radical Right-Wing terrorist group called the Wolverine Watchmen was discovered and arrested by Michigan authorities and the FBI for plotting to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer, the Governor of Michigan. That group likes to swagger around sporting assault rifles. They claim that their reason for targeting Governor Whitmer is her executive order mandating the wearing of masks to help curb the spread of the COVID19 virus. President Trump has opposed mandating mask wearing and social distancing because he wants to downplay the threat of COVID19. He wanted to downplay the threat early in the epidemic because he considered that downplay to benefit him politically. The Wolverine Watchmen are one of the racist Radical Right groups that President Trump favors. They consider mandating masks to be an infringement on their rights. I wonder if they consider mandating automobile insurance also as an infringement on their rights. Apparently they and Trump forget that spreading the COVID virus is an infringement on the rights of others around them. Trump was informed early in the arrival of the pandemic in the USA of the danger of the virus, but he chose to hide that danger from the American people (we have it on tape recorded by Bob Woodward). Apparently he thought it would benefit him politically to do so.
