So why are the Democrats hammering on January 6?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To draw attention away from their own hatred of self-government, of course<\/a>: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyone say “it’s not about science, it’s about power?” Perish the thought:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 Fifty-eight percent (58%) of voters would oppose a proposal for federal or state governments to fine Americans who choose not to get a COVID-19 vaccine. However, 55% of Democratic voters would support such a proposal, compared to just 19% of Republicans and 25% of unaffiliated voters.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Who are those 19% of Republicans, anyway?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, that’s benign compared to some of the other things Dems favor:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 Fifty-nine percent (59%) of Democratic voters would favor a government policy requiring that citizens remain confined to their homes at all times, except for emergencies, if they refuse to get a COVID-19 vaccine. Such a proposal is opposed by 61% of all likely voters, including 79% of Republicans and 71% of unaffiliated voters.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Forget about the First Amendment…:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 Nearly half (48%) of Democratic voters think federal and state governments should be able to fine or imprison individuals who publicly question the efficacy of the existing COVID-19 vaccines on social media, television, radio, or in online or digital publications. Only 27% of all voters \u2013 including just 14% of Republicans and 18% of unaffiliated voters \u2013 favor criminal punishment of vaccine critics.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Hey, if reason and messaging don’t work, you can just ship ’em off to southern Idaho:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 Forty-five percent (45%) of Democrats would favor governments requiring citizens to temporarily live in designated facilities or locations if they refuse to get a COVID-19 vaccine. Such a policy would be opposed by a strong majority (71%) of all voters, with 78% of Republicans and 64% of unaffiliated voters saying they would Strongly Oppose putting the unvaccinated in \u201cdesignated facilities.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Remember when people said comparing vaccinations to the Holocaust was abhorrent? Well, it still is – but a lot less so, in view of that graf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The more you read, the. more you realize: Orwell underestimated Democrats:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 While about two-thirds (66%) of likely voters would be against governments using digital devices to track unvaccinated people to ensure that they are quarantined or socially distancing from others, 47% of Democrats favor a government tracking program for those who won\u2019t get the COVID-19 vaccine.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

I swear, sometimes – if AOC called her next campaign “the Great Leap Forward”, not a single Dem would get the irony:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How far are Democrats willing to go in punishing the unvaccinated? Twenty-nine percent (29%) of Democratic voters would support temporarily removing parents\u2019 custody of their children if parents refuse to take the COVID-19 vaccine. That\u2019s much more than twice the level of support in the rest of the electorate \u2013 seven percent (7%) of Republicans and 11% of unaffiliated voters \u2013 for such a policy.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
