Gov. “Rock” sets out to hold a series of rallies in Lansing, Detroit, and Grand Rapids in support of the Michigan response to the Upper Peninsula Sickness and stoking anti-Canadian sentiment. Gov. Whitford in neighboring Wisconsin condemn his angry speeches on a post on TikTok as harmful to their neighbors to the north – and potentially risky given that how the new illness spreads is unknown. Within hours, many Republicans post responses across social media against Gov. Whitford. Followed by Democrats and left leaning influencers coming to the defense of Gov. Whitford. Sides are drawn and Senator Ted Cruz of Texas demands all assistance to Wisconsin stop.
A new group, called the “Wolverine Party” starts waving flags at the third of Gov. “Rock”‘s rallies in Detroit, shouting “Feds Go Home!” and “True and Blue!” The hashtag #wolverines spikes in right leaning social media platforms, on TikTok, Instagram, and X.
