Your reply exhibits your blind hatred of anything with which you don't understand. The post has nothing to do , at it's most basic reasoning, with party loyality. But our willingness to obey "well meaning" totalitarianism. Government officials of both liberal and conservative persuasions have, without legal authority, have unconstitutionally shut down the the country. They have commanded the citizenry to obey edicts they had no right to enforce. And whats even more important and truly frightening is that the people were happy to comply. Think about it. We have , for a short time, become a dictatorship. Our leaders say, close all unimportant businessnes, and they decide which they are. Stay home, and we do. Wear masks, andvwebdo. Social distance, and we do. Just think about how easy we are to control. All we have to have to believe it is that the reason for this control- dictatorship- is for our own good. Just critically think about it. It's VERY frightening. No protests. No marches against the government forcing the highestb unemployment since the depression. Think about it. And before byou blame Trump remember you Trump h**ers maintain that he did not act soon enough. He wan not an dictator soon enough. How easy we are to control. History should tell us just how dangerous a " Well meaning" government can be. BEWARE.

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.” CS Lewis
