Who would have thought!

Democrats are also more likely than Republicans to say it is acceptable for the government to track via cellphone the location of people who may have come in contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19

While I don't want tacking only an idiot wouldn't want the government to be able to protect people from serious threats. That's the whole purpose of having a government, not to give tax breaks to rich people.

The irony of Donald Trump-loving people accusing somebody else of being authoritarian cannot be understated.

Isn't it amazing how they can shift their shape from one sentence to the next?

Lol...you Conservatives thought that you were the only authoritarians in this country, huh?

Nope. You’re just a lot better at it and more ruthless in your use of it.

But I do think 'leftie' hippie types are more inclined to support measures for the protection of the greater good.

I like a balance somewhere in the middle.

I want to be able to grocery shop without fearing getting infected so I would like to see others wear masks.

The social distancing policies worked to reduce the death rate, the infected rate. They did limit our freedoms but it worked.

So true !!!
They also love to put out as much propaganda as Communist China as evidenced by the OP and this thread !!!

As we have seen democrats love authoritarian government and have implemented the most draconian rules in states where they govern !!! Example - Michigan !!!
I wonder if NY will normalize or open up at a faster rate than Ca. does !!! According to the L.A. mayor's comments they could be the last to reach a new normal ( whatever that looks like ) !!!! Yet, everyone knows NY is the epicenter of the China Virus !!!
