They say shut down the economy to save lives.

They mean shut down the economy to oust Trump.

What are liberty trees?

The Story Behind a Forgotten Symbol of the American Revolution: The Liberty Tree
Throughout these early years before the revolution, the ancient elm across from the distillery became Massachusetts’ most potent symbol of revolt. In the decade before the Revolutionary War, images of the Liberty Tree, as it became known, spread across New England and beyond: colonists christened other Liberty Trees in homage to the original.
Snip...Yet unlike Boston’s other revolutionary landmarks, such as the Old North Church and Faneuil Hall, the Liberty Tree is nearly forgotten today. Maybe that’s because the British army chopped down the tree in 1775. Or maybe it’s because the Liberty Tree symbolizes the violent, mob-uprising, tar-and-feathers side of the American Revolution – a side of our history that’s still too radical for comfort.

Certain people in high places in Charlotte Mecklenburg despised Jason Lewis.
