it's so weird because they really do like to single out Whitmer - our governor, also a woman, did similar measures (tho I think colleges are still open and possibly some schools if they met her requirements, most in the metro are distance learning and haven't had in person since March). It's purely political that they are saying this to a swing state and not
to Oregon. I mean, there are certainly people here in Oregon who don't like it, but they haven't said anything. I also think that Gov Brown somehow has kissed Trump's ass enough that he doesn't pick on her, even with all the bullshit about Portland over the summer he really didn't make the same sort of threats to her that he made about Whitmer
It's the swing state thing....but also Oregon has had protests. They protested at the state capitol this weekend. The Clackamas County Chair said she's having the biggest Thanksgiving ever and anyone who wants to come is welcome.
But he blames Michigan for losing. He won Ohio. He never had a ghost of a chance in Oregon, though...there are MAGA who swear he was the real winner and was cheated.

: yeah I saw ol' Tootie's quote and I thought that was utterly irresponsible. I honestly kind of expect this lock down to have more protests because it's at the busiest season and thanksgiving and stuff. But I still think Trump's focus on Whitmer is weird and creepy.
Also the orders are not from Whitmer. they are from Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. She only announced them.
