I had observed the quarantines less and less observed. This article talks about why.
"...Such voluntary obedience to the law requires massive buy-in from the people at large. A minority of, say, 15%-20% may be too small to cause disruption at the ballot box, but it can severely tax the enforcement instruments of the government -- if they are sufficiently motivated. It is analogous to the “heckler’s veto": one person can shout down a speaker if he is willing to endure the disapproval of the others in the crowd.
This is why a continued quarantine may be more tenuous than the polls make it seem. A large majority of Americans approve, which is all well and good. But we should also ask just how intense the opposition of the minority is. If the minority is convinced that the government’s dictates are capricious, arbitrary, and ruinous, we should not expect them to sit idly by forever.

The conclusion is that most are mindless sheep that will submit to the will of the government without question. Same as it has been since the beginning of time.
Democrats are no longer liberals, they are now marxists totalitarian prog filth.

lol your 'just for men' must be wearing off...don't worry, Supercuts will be open soon.
Never stayed at home for a minute that I didn’t want to. I observed common sense precautions and went about my business. The problem with this country now is the way many of our citizens want a nanny state. Some people just never grow up and need a daddy their entire lives. I don’t need a daddy.

We're done staying home. We said May 1st would be it for us... and we've had playdates, had some folks over for beers, etc. Good to get back to normal.

Wifey and I go to the beach every weekend both days. Best weather I can remember for years. Unusually dry Spring. We go to one if the Beach restaurants get an appy, two entrees and two drinks and back the truck up behind one of the souviner shops and "tailgate". Been doing that for a Month now. Beaches have been packed last two weeks now.

This is what I’ve said from the start. If the people were not in agreement, lock down of an armed population could not be enforced even if you brought in the army. There are 330 million people. The people have to buy into what your selling or it falls apart. This was one place where I never worry too much about government over reach so far we end up in a totalitarian state. The only way that happens is if the population actually wants it.

Even in crazy scared to death liberal NJ, I noticed a lot more people out and about this weekend. It seems that you can only trample on citizen's rights for a short period of time before they start to push back and recapture some of their lives.

There are very few old school democrats left. You can disagree all you want but that doesn't make it false. Give me some examples of some old school liberal democrats and change my mind. I'll wait.
