Some language, some very specific wording, has a very specific meaning in the United States of America. One of those words is “rebellion”; and it carries a deeper meaning to a nation of American citizens born into the idea of individual rights, liberty and freedom.
All of the various restrictions coming from state governors in response to the COVID-19, do NOT come from State House and/or State Senate decisions.
These are not laws.
The rules restricting liberty, in response to the crisis, have been pronounced without any representative voice supporting them. All of the rules are arbitrary.
The only option for a redress of grievance comes in the form of public protest. Currently, there is no way for an citizen to appeal to a representative voice against the decrees from a state governor; other than a public protest….
Rebellion against unilateral and authoritarian power is America. Rebellion or push-back against non-representative government is the thread that connects the varying patchwork of our constitutional republic.
Protest is so critical to our nation, that it is protected within the very first amendment to our constitution.
This is the background where the comments today from Washington State Governor Jay Inslee should be considered when he says: “”The president is fomenting domestic rebellion.”
Governor Inslee is saying that any form of protest against his unilateral authority; against his self-defined power and unrepresented decree; is an act of “domestic rebellion.”
What type of ideology exists in the heart of a man who would declare that any form of protest against him is a form of “domestic rebellion?”
Pay attention. Freedom is a tenuous proposition. Cherish it, and fight anyone who would arbitrarily remove it.
There are more of us than them.
It's interesting that the Media and (mostly) Democratic Governors who have locked down their states, think and believe Democrats/Liberals DO WHAT THEY ARE TOLD TO DO. They are staying home, not going to work, going broke...whatever their Governor tells them to do.
Yet such approval has eluded President Trump. Two poll of polls — Real Clear Politics and FiveThirtyEight — show his overall approval at 45.2% and 44.3%, respectively, right about where they were before the you-know-what hit the fan earlier this year.
To the president and his supporters, such disagreeable data — data that don’t support their chosen narrative — can be dismissed as “fake news” or the product of the “corrupt media.
On Feb. 27, U.S. stock indexes SPX, +2.67% were just days off all-time highs, and the first coronavirus death in this country had yet to occur. Rasmussen’s daily “Trump Approval Index” showed the president’s total approval at 52% and total disapproval at 47%.
As of Monday (April 13), however, Trump’s approval has slid nine points to 43%, while his disapproval has jumped nine points to 56%. That’s an 18-point swing against the president in about six weeks.

Democrats politicized the crisis from day 1, and you wonder why we aren't coming together. The media makes sure every day we don't.
