[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s it at all surprising that so many of you will go out of your way to defend nonviolent civil disobedience unless it doesn’t meet your purpose. 
You people are hypocrites. [/quote]

Those morons just infected each other and will pass it on to MeeMa in their rural towns. They literally just spread the virus all over the state because they don't know how to practice self-discipline.

If they act like spoiled children, they should get the belt.

If Donald Trump instituted a nationwide ban on public assembly and protests until there were ZERO coronavirus deaths would you be okay with that? What if he bans voting this November because coronavirus will still be around?

Tyranny is always brought on and accepted by myopic dolts like you because of national emergencies. It’s the same reason Muslims were stripped naked, tortured and treated like dogs in Abu Ghraib after 9/11. Shame on people like you for criticizing people for exercising their First Amendment freedoms. The Constitution and the Bill of Rights don’t have stipulations that they should be suspended for a virus with a .5% to 2% mortality rate.

Imagine what kind of dystopian police state you all would accept for a virus with a 25% mortality rate. Events like these really make you realize how fragile our democracy and freedoms actually are.[/quote]

Very well-said!![/quote]

A few things:

1. Part of the problem is most people don't trust Donald Trump to make decisions for the benefit of Americans instead of for his own vain gain. So if he issued an order of course we'd question and dissent. That's why he should have tried hard to build trust through, I don't know, telling the truth and acting in our interest during his first three years in office. He'd have more political capital now.

2. I agree there is a tension between freedom and safety with these stay at home orders that is very hard to navigate. Again, communities with trust are more receptive to these orders, and I feel ilke - to beat a dead horse - that's why it's so important to have leaders who act in our interest (and believe in science and sht like that).

3. It's real hard to know how the first amendment is going to bump up against social distancing requirements. We'll see some interesting litigation, I imagine.

By your logic in response #1, only politicians you don’t like can subvert people’s Constitutional rights. That is completely irrational imo. The mistrust you have for Trump is the same mistrust a lot of people on the other side had for Obama. Politicians don’t get to annul the Bill of Rights and the Constitution based on how much half the country trusts them.[/quote]
