This reddit post on "re-open" movement points to domain links - but reopen facebook groups mentioned are more interesting to me - set up by Dorr brothers who run far-right gun websites (they consider the NRA too soft) and their father's career focused on defunding public schools
These facebook groups were set up by Chris Dorr And Ben Dorr
Pennsylvanians Against Excessive Quarantine with 60,000 members was set-up by Chris Dorr

Reopen Minnesota with 20,000 members was set up by Ben Dorr

I posted this thread because some people are speculating that the Re-open movement is a Russian scheme - the story is likely more complex. The Dorr family has decades of US far-right activism (which often aligns with values pushed by Russia and others)
Some more info in this thread on websites affiliated with Midwest Freedom Enterprises run by the Dorr brothers
Adding on an item noted by @SlickRockWeb - in addition to the Pennsylvania and Minnesota Facebook groups set up by Chris and Ben Dorr - the 'Wisconsinites Against Excessive Quarantine' Facebook group, which was not set up by a Dorr, has identical language
