On the Michigan board.
Of course, the eeyores will say, “There’s nothing we can do. You can’t fight City Hall.”

“A Danger to Our Democracy”
Democrats use this line quite often.
Every time some Executive Order is promulgated by the evil Orange-man, this canard is espoused in defiance.
Looking past the “republic v. democracy” argument, we should instead look upon the “why is it dangerous” question.
A democracy, in theory, provides governance by consensus.
A majority of all impacted agree to certain rules, regulations and laws.
So, in a sense, they are correct.
EO’s by the President are not based in a notion of Democracy; they are law by fiat.
How than can Gretchen Whitmer create fiat rules, regulations and laws while maintaining a loyalty to “the democratic process”
So by an orange-colored extension, Gretchen Whitmer’s Emergency Orders are a threat to our democracy.
What say you Michigan legislators?
Trump promulgates an Executive Order and the chant begins, “such a fiat order is a danger to our democracy”.
Yet, Whitmer’s Executive Order elicits a chant that sounds, suspiciously, like crickets.
