Conservatives are mostly a passive lot, expressing their frustrations and anger over ideas they oppose by listening to or watching Fox News, talk radio or attending Trump rallies when that was possible.
The duration of the COVID-19 lockdown and its associated unemployment “pandemic” are changing that. Recent arbitrary executive orders by some governors have driven many who have never before demonstrated for or against anything into the streets of state capitals, with more likely to come. They want their jobs and country back.

Here in Pa. Wolf can do as he damn well pleases since he can’t run for a third term. If his actions (or inaction) showed us anything it’s how easily and willingly people will give up their freedoms and liberty to a tin pot dictator.

NEW SOUTH WALES BANS SAVED ‘700 LIVES’. WHY YOU CAN’T TRUST SUCH MODELS by Andrew Bolt

20 Apr: Pedestrian TV: Andrew Bolt Reckons The Lockdowns Are An “Overreaction” & Boomers Should Be Able To Play Golf
By Zac Crellin
He argued that while scientists initially predicted around 60,000 deaths in NSW, more recent modelling says the lockdown instead saved “just” 700 lives, and this means the lockdown has been an overreaction...
Typically, modelling of novel viruses becomes more accurate over time. Typically, scientists err on the side of caution so as not to massively underestimate death tolls. Typically, modelling is often revised without being slammed by the general public for being different to what initial models forecasted.
But none of this matters to Bolt. He simply wants to play golf...

Charting the COVID-19 spread in Australia
ABC - 21 Apr 2020
For the first time in six weeks, NSW has relinquished the grim title of most confirmed cases of COVID-19 per resident.
The dubious distinction has passed to Tasmania, which yesterday reached 200 confirmed infections — the equivalent of 37.3 per 100,000 residents.
As of this morning, NSW has a total of 2,969 confirmed cases or 36.6 cases per 100,000 residents...
Most deaths have been of people aged 70 or older.
At least 24 cruise ship passengers and crew, and 9 nursing home residents are among the dead...
KEEP PROTESTING SO YOU DON’T END UP WAITING FOR NO CASES, NO DEATHS, BEFORE YOU GET BACK YOUR FREEDOM.

Don’t really have to go back that far.
My son was reading an old article to me from the local rag, circa 1918, concerning life here in a small town in North Florida. It (the article) discussed how folks were encouraged to wear face masks, and to not be together in crowds. It also encouraged people to keep a distance from one another when out in the public (ie “social distancing”).
The newspaper also carried an obituary of a relative who had just died due to the Spanish flu.
“You’re witnessing what happens when you live in a country run by leaders who are elected by suburban Karens.”
That right there. I see women walking with masks on and no one within a half mile of them. They’re terrified.
