Michigan is the epicenter of the Patriot Movement and white supremacist paramilitary groups.

What we're watching with armed men storming the capitol isn't just a bunch of cosplayers. It's an organized terrorist movement.
The chatter among the white supremacist terrorist cells has been for weeks how to use the coronavirus pandemic to their benefit, whether that's weaponizing it or taking advantage of the chaos.

What we're seeing right now isn't just a demonstration. It's practiced and organized.
What you need to understand is these groups have looked and looked and looked for scenarios that bring society to a civil, racial war. A pandemic mixed with an economic collapse, not to mention how Trump has exacerbated cultural divide, looks like a promising thing to them.
They don't care how many people die or what the societal toll is. They're Nazis interested in "survival of the fittest." They see societal collapse and mass death as a fertile fighting ground, and one that they've been preparing for for decades.

They see an opening. Right now.
