More than a dozen people are accused of participating in what the FBI is calling a “violent” militia scheme involving people from several different states to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer as a hostage and overthrow the Michigan government.
The most surprising part to me is the FBI actually investigating and prosecuting rather than funding and assisting.
Why is Michigan such a hotspot for militias?
extremely racist, lots of white poverty in areas hard hit and recently hit by major deindustrialisation. those play a big role
