Governor Synder of Michigan now has the power to take over cities and towns in Michigan, drive out the elected officials, and put a corporation in charge. This is, by some definitions, the meaning of “fascism”. All the governor needs is an “emergency” situation — as determined by himself. Rachel Maddow explains in this video. As a commenter stated: One egomaniac on a power trip could single-handedly de-democratize the whole state of Michigan. What does it say about this governor that he has the cajones to actually suggest this? Where is the counterpush by the people of Michigan?” My question is, given all that is happening in Wisconsin too, is: where is the mainstream media coverage on this and on the enormous protests in Wisconsin, which are ongoing?
