Salient point about the plot: Whitmer is a woman who stood up to them

They tried to intimidate her with a show of force that included weapons of war and tactical gear at the capitol. They were enraged that she didn't give in on masks etc. the way other officials have in the past ever since the tea baggers raised their ugly heads. I don't think it's a coincidence that these animals chose a strong female as their main target.

Could not point to the post here I read, but it struck me as reliable, and stuck in my mind. Precinct delegate isn't really much, but it is good enough for agit-prop work....
