DEMOCRATS’ COVID DENIALISM:

Clearly the worm has turned if Democrats in competitive races are running away from their own policies.

Well, I have a reminder for them. Not only did they pound the “deplorables” into the ground with mandates, censorship, school closures lasting up to a year, and economic sanctions for failing to comply–vast numbers of Democrats wanted the COVID fascists to do even more. The madness was real, the harm extensive, and the real threat to our democracy was laid bare by oppressive Democrat policies.

Every time you hear a Democrat politician bumble around denying the extremism of the Left on COVID, think about a poll taken just 9 months back–in January of this year to be precise.

The Heartland Institute commissioned a poll from Rasmussen Reports on attitudes regarding COVID mitigation policies, and the results were both startling and terrifying. Confirming what we all suspected at the time, Democrats in large numbers care little about freedom and even less about their fellow citizens who disagree with them. I remember reading the poll at the time and being appalled, and I thought about it again as candidates such as Christine Whitmer have begun doing an about face on COVID mitigations.

Here are some findings from that poll. Once you are done you will question what kind of country many Democrats want to live in. . . . Unsurprisingly, the people most likely to support harsh punishments were strong Biden supporters.

Remember, this is not April of 2020, when we knew little about COVID and people were scared to death (by the CDC) that we were facing the return of the Black Death. This is from earlier this year.
