Long time lurker, first post, Michigan field report.
I lurked on T_D for years and loved the memes but I am starting to get angry about this Hydroxychloroquine thing. I am Michigander and seeing Gretchen Whitmer threaten doctors is pissing me off and has a lot of people around me starting to wake up about Trump. I have heard some real Trump haters I know praise his moves so I think the poll movement is real.
In my opinion, this is the first dispute that rises above a vanilla political spat. People are starting to see that the Dems and the MSM truly hate this country. I believed this to a degree for years but even I thought it was a 'difference of vision' or 'we have higher expectations' kinda thing. I voted for Trump but I wouldn't defend him calling Press "enemy of the people". I was wrong. The way that the MSM are campaigning against a cheap and effective drug is fucking Satanic. I still think there are some patriotic lefties but none work in MSM.
I am no longer maintaining appearances. I am on a campaign to educate every person I know. KAG
P.S. I think Trump will win Michigan again. The reason Whitmer won is because everyone HATED Snyder and for good reason. I am a union pipefitter and probably half of my local union brothers are vocal Trump supporters but I don't know a single one who voted for a R Gov candidate Bill Schuette (besides myself) after Flint Water Crisis or Right-to-Work. I am still pro-union but I am no shill. I swear to God I will never vote D after this.
I love listening to TDS sufferers complain Trump doesn't listen to doctors or science (he does just not the ones they like) and yet the governor is banning one therapy because Trump mentioned it. If this was about making sure people with autoimmune conditions could get it, and avoiding hoarding, then ask pharmacies to hold back enough for the prescriptions they got for 2 months prior and treat it like a controlled substance with penalties for hoarding or giving it to family members who aren't sick.
