Trump, of course, had said that people needed to 'liberate' Michigan.

edit: There's a separate news story about 3 being arrested for plotting to kill Whittmer:

Different people and counties named in both articles, so it seems like there were multiple plots against Whittmer.

Whatever the total actual numbers are of these 'fringe' militia types (people say oh they're the fringe and only like 1% of population) they are all in for trump and this shows they will be out in full force.

what are other militias plotting? it is unfortunately going to look more and more dystopian the closer to election we get in every state. this is very disturbing and it indicates some serious volatility.

the west seems to think it won't happen here (revolts, political violence etc) but there is a lot of hatred bubbling over...
