And Democrats will obey. gladly

Biden endorser Dr. Fauci says “Now is the time for Americans to do as they’re told”.

Who would listen to this man, let alone follow his dictates? Or for that matter, Ezekiel “Dr. Death” Emanuel, Biden’s chief health advisor, who is calling for a 12-18-month lockdown? Democrats, mostly. The latest Gallop poll shows 87% of Democrats would obey a shelter in place shutdown order, vs 40% of Republicans.

Why the difference? I suspect there are a couple of reasons. First, Democrats can afford to stay home. Once a party with at least a claimed affinity with blue-collar workers, Democrats are now elite, pule-nibbling surrender monkeys, who can stay home, work remotely, and order in deliveries of food and meals from those “black-lady shelf-stockers” their man Biden mentions. so staying home will pose no particular hardship. And they have the savings to smooth over any rough spots; no living paycheck-to-paycheck for the New Democrats.

More importantly, I think, is that Democrats are now socialists, especially the younger members. They expect, and demand, cradle-to-grave security, and are willing to trade personal freedom for promises of guaranteed food, shelter, medical care, and income (that they expect those things to be delivered at a high level of quality is laughable, but what are dreams for, if not to lead sheep to the slaughter?)

Add to the mix the enforced group-think and virtue signaling these Democrats have been subjected to during their entire educational experience (Virginia is now mandating social justice [sic] and slavery lessons in kindergarten: "Sugarcoating or ignoring slavery until later grades makes students more upset by or even resistant to true stories about American history”), and it’s a wonder that 13% of Democrats still want to think for themselves.
