Typical liberal. I liken it to the question of how much taxes are enough? Well the same applies here how long do we have to stay closed. They wont answer because its not long enough...ever.
I know many, many liberals who work and make a good living.
White folk.
They are just cowards and that is why the thought of a civil war with them is hysterical.
They will do cowardly attacks and hit and runs but never have the courage for more than that.
[[[[Most liberals are either government employees, are working from home, are on unemployment (earning more than they did at their job), collecting welfare or are financially supported by a spouse or parent. ]]]]
Guy next to me is making a good buck staying home between unemployment, the check, check for the kids, the unemployment bonus, etc. Happy as hell working around the house, etc.
There’s only one cure for the Left: death.
But the kind of death I’m talking about is the death and resurrection when one receives Christ.
Christ is the only cure for Leftism.
The other alternative is simply death w/o Christ. MUCH better to choose Christ.
More than half the Liberals are retired, or work for the government, or for the techies, or for academia and are not laid off or lost income. So of course they do not mind if everyone else is out of work while they get to pretend staying home is “saving” the nation.
It is a silly question because different areas have different situations so who can give one answer?
Im on a lot of different social media groups - classmates from high school, college, amateur sports clubs, neighbors, relatives, church groups.
The most obvious mark of divided of opinion is if one works for government, or not. The sense of entitlement and arrogance that comes from having a guaranteed taxpayer paycheck is huge.
Liberals HATE when people work... they grow independent of government and tend to appreciate freedoms more, and drift towards a more Coservative political viewpoint.
And this has seen the biggest example in the African-American population - who has seen a massive surge in “Blexit” - blacks walking away from the Democrat party.
It’s boiling down to the pro-maskers VS the anti-maskers.
See, if ya wear a mask, it means you go along with all this leftist nonsense and demand everyone else wear one, and those who don’t wear a mask are simply deplorables, that don’t buy what these control freaks are selling.
When “more government control” is the answer to any problem a pandemic is like winning the lottery.
When they finally jump on the bandwagon and get back to work, they will not have learned from the experience.
I say this because of how they repeatedly bought whatever hoax the Enemedia pushed in the Obama years with Trayvon Martin and others. The first reports were always wrong. And when the Boston Marathon got bombed, the Media went looking for a white supremacist/ Tea Partier.
They just don't seem to learn.
I wonder how it would breakdown if the cross tabs showed government employees who still had jobs or are at home but getting paid as if they were working vs. everyone else.
I bet the keep the lockdown numbers would be about the same.
“69% of liberals...” 98 percent of whom are living in mom and dad’s basement eating skittles, drinking Dr. Pepper, playing video games and pretending to be badasses. Time to prove them wrong...
That’s because liberals would rather suck off the government teat than work.
Liberals work?
I think the number 71% is low. probably more like 91%
Adherence to the party line would be the simplest answer, if you are an Occam fan. Trump wants to put the country back to work while a number of Dems want to wait a while.
What I read into this poll is reinforcement of an attitude toward government I've observed ever since my high school years: Democrats, as a whole, really are in love with government at all levels as long as it pretends to give them stuff, protect them from floods, fire and being evicted for missing their rent payments, and make those evil capitalists contribute more than their fair share of the costs of running an ever-larger government. They by and large trust government agencies to "do the right thing," which of course could mean, as observed in comments above this one, those agencies are well-stocked with like-minded Democrats, socialists and progressives.
Conservatives, on the other hand, have a long tradition of distrusting government actions, particularly when their own freedom of movement is affected. (Exceptions are numerous and very often religious in nature, so I won't even attempt to rationalize prohibition, Sunday closures, censorship and various other nanny-state measures which have enjoyed support from Republican leaders of the past.)
This divide can also be seen in polls that are "broken down by sex," where more often than not we see a larger percentage of women taking the Democrat position on matters of welfare, income disparities and, of course, "women's health issues."
How much these surveys are influenced by TV news, popular magazines and FaceBook groups is anybody's guess.
Anybody?
So a majority agrees to open?
Liberals live off mommy and daddy or have trusts or are “students” or make their wages renting out as rioters or they live off of the academy or work for the government and don’t have to hustle for a living- their income is uninterrupted in good times and bad.
