According to MSNBC's Joy Reid and Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison (D), if you're someone who wants to see the economy reopen and get back to work, you must be some sort of Confederate racist.
"Black people are being left in a situation where they're more vulnerable by default: less health care, jobs that are hourly, jobs where you're closer to people, stuck working near to each other," Reid said. "When you hear Donald Trump talking in this sort of faux-Confederate language about these lockdown orders which are meant to save lives and you see people with these instaprotests, paid for by activists for the super-rich, egging on this kind of activity that could get violent, what does that say to you?"
Ellison said Trump is willing to put his supporters' lives on the line "so that he can have advantages like re-election and things like that."
"He's literally willing to sacrifice the lives of Americans for personal gain and that's deeply disturbing to me. It's not new," Ellison explained. "How many people who fell on the Confederate side owned massive plantations? Not that many. They bought themselves out of having to fight for their slavocracy, that poor whites died for them and so, you know, it's not a new story, right? It's disturbing. It's sad. And I pray for those people because, even though I disagree absolutely with these protests, I think they're completely and entirely inappropriate, I know that they and their loved ones will pay an awful price."

The racists at MSNBC are projecting, once again.
I guess people want the country and its citizens to go bankrupt before they die.
If the public sector was laid off the problem would be solved in short order
Well, he’s speaking on behalf of those who dislike working for a living in general, and want to make some sort of moral high ground out of it.
This has nothing to with protecting lives or even flattening some curve.
Trump's massive rallies had to be stopped. The Left wants them quarantined in their homes, not getting food or engaging in social activities, so they can push their bull-s--t mail-in voting and think they can win.
As a melanin-deficient person, I can only say how happy I am that I never endured such horrific conditions.
That would only work if the public sector was laid off with out pay.
Rebels maybe. Racist no. People of every race own small businesses in Michigan.
Gretchen is scared witless.
Mrs. JimRed called the protestors “selfish”, stating that they care only for themselves and not for others they may infect.
When I was in college (many years ago) one of the left’s favorite slogans was, “Question authority!” In recent years, that has changed to, “Question authority, unless we are the ones in authority, in which case STFU!”
IIUC, Soros pays his agitators well. Who's our guy? I'll sign up in a minute; won't need to change a thing about my postings.

Considering that they are protesting tyranny and in favor of freedom one would think the Gadsden flag would be more appropriate than the Confederate flag. I guess most people just don't know about it.
...and you see people with these instaprotests, paid for by activists for the super-rich, egging on this kind of activity that could get violent...
