A poll conducted by Rasmussen Reports and the Heartland Institute found shockingly high percentages of registered Democrats favor harsh treatment of those who don't obey government directives aimed at battling covid.
The mildest of repressive measures—house arrest of persons refusing to get vaccinated—was supported by 59% of Democrats. Confining the unvaccinated in internment camps like the ones Japanese-Americans were sent to by President Roosevelt during World War II or the ones Australia has now was supported by 45% of Democrats. Spying on and tracking the unvaccinated was supported by 47% of Democrats. Taking children away from their unvaccinated parents was supported by 29% of Democrats. Forty-eight percent of Democrats support fining or imprisoning individuals who publicly dispute the government's narrative on covid or criticize its policies.
Dr. Anthony Fauci said that "polls like this prove that average Americans want the kind of protection we been endeavoring to provide during the pandemic. Unlike in some other countries, we don't have crowds in the streets protesting our policies. We have neighbors tattling on neighbors and courageous opinion makers like Don Lemon vilifying vaccine dissenters. It is reassuring to know we are on the right track. All that remains is to subdue the pesky and shrinking minority who have yet to comply with our demands."

I have a GREAT sense of humor. I stopped reading Babylon Bee after the 2020 election theft because politics isn’t funny now. We are in a death struggle with American communists (aka democRATs) for the soul of our Republic. I’ll laugh again when our boots are on their throats (that will be Trump’s 3rd term, 2nd served).
She discovered Hard Left Socialism in her mid-60s.
The political tumor has metastasized and is clearly terminal.
So do the covax karens and kevins on this site.
Got to the 3rd paragraph before I looked up.
I read “Dems Favor Tranny” but that’s true, too.
So did I. I had to go back and doublecheck.
In order to achieve diversity and inclusion, they support prison camps for those designated as their enemies.
