Voters often bemoan a lack of bipartisanship, but after reading the findings, one might develop yet another reason to be grateful for gridlock. Most of the findings are below, and I didn\u2019t include the share of Republican or unaffiliated voters because their percentages are exceeded by those of the Democrats in every question. In short, \u201clive and let live\u201d died long ago; compromise is an impossibility, and for those who count themselves among the majority, minding one\u2019s own business is increasingly frowned upon.<\/p>\n<p>55% of Democrats would support a proposal for federal or state governments to fine Americans who choose to not be vaccinated against COVID-19. 59% of Democrats would favor a government policy requiring that citizens remain confined to their homes at all times except for emergencies if they refuse to be vaccinated against COVID-19. 48% of Democrats think federal and state governments should be able to fine or imprison individuals who publicly question the efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines on social media, television, radio, or in online or digital publications. 45% of Democrats would favor governments requiring citizens to temporarily live in designated facilities or locations if they refuse to be vaccinated against COVID-19. 47% of Democrats favor governments using digital devices to track unvaccinated people to ensure that they are quarantined or distancing from others. <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>29% of Democrats would support temporarily removing parents\u2019 custody of their children if parents refuse to be vaccinated against COVID-19.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It\u2019s easy to conclude that, when compared with other <a href=\"https:\/\/unclenap.com\/prosperity-or-democracy\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">partisans<\/a>, Democrats are neurotic and vicious control freaks, but that\u2019s not the point I wish to make; however, I can\u2019t <em>not<\/em> discuss the findings before getting to my broader point. Democrats pat themselves on the back for their nice thoughts about \u201cthe poor,\u201d but the survey\u2019s findings make clear that to be the object of Democrats\u2019 professed compassion, \u201cthe poor\u201d must first agree with them unconditionally. Democrats abhor national borders, but once immigrants have passed through ours, they\u2019ll soon be restricted by domestic borders if, again, they dare to disagree with Democrats. Regarding the findings that touch on Democrats\u2019 alleged <a href=\"https:\/\/unclenap.com\/more-than-money\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">yearning<\/a> for free speech, privacy, and bodily autonomy, you\u2019ve witnessed since the first lockdown the true nature of their vapid tropes: \u201cNatural rights don\u2019t apply to you until you submit to me.\u201d I was shocked to read the findings regarding \u201cremoving parents\u2019 custody of their children,\u201d but maybe I shouldn\u2019t have been; they\u2019re part of the trend: Democrats seem to have no qualms with human rights violations so long as they can keep their hands clean. They wouldn\u2019t dare touch another\u2019s child, but they\u2019re more than happy to support a cop ripping a kid from his parents.<\/p>\n<p>Originally published in 1995, Dave Grossman\u2019s <em>On Killing: The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society<\/em> also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Killing-Psychological-Cost-Learning-Society\/dp\/0316040932\/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&#038;qid=&#038;sr=&#038;pldnSite=1\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">details<\/a> how people learn to kill. They do so by considering their enemies subhuman. Sure, The Tolerant\u2122 smile at their neighbors, but they do so while begging their political \u201crepresentatives\u201d to fine or imprison their neighbors. It\u2019s probably best to regard their smiles as similar to the manner in which one might grin at a pet.  None of the above is to say that Republicans don\u2019t harbor authoritarian impulses of a different kind, and that fact is literally on full display every election season. Someone with a blue sign looks past his neighbor\u2019s red sign, smiles, and waves. The neighbor returns the wave with a smile while both explicitly advertise to the other: \u201cI\u2019m voting for this guy so that he can bend you to my will.\u201d That scenario brings new meaning to \u201cinsincere,\u201d which brings me to my broader point: Why is it assumed that the president, a governor, or any other politician or bureaucrat is \u201cin charge\u201d and is \u201chandling\u201d this manufactured, multidimensional crisis, and why is it assumed that <a href=\"https:\/\/unclenap.com\/private-governance-pure-freedom\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">democracy<\/a> will one day deliver us from the crisis?<\/p>\n<p>When mired in political gridlock, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realclearmarkets.com\/articles\/2021\/03\/12\/19_trillion_glimmers_of_gridlocks_greatness_for_stocks_767811.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">says<\/a> Ken Fisher, \u201cextreme ideas stand no chance\u201d and \u201cgetting anything big done in various categories is beyond challenging.\u201d Fisher says&mdash;and as we\u2019ve seen: \u201cGridlock should prevent legislative extremities from passing and creating winners and losers,\u201d which is great because it means the calls of those begging their politicians to \u201cdo something\u201d won\u2019t be answered. The less the political class do, regardless of their political affiliation, the less the damage done to \u201cthe economy\u201d (read: \u201cthe people\u201d). Back to the survey, imagine how much worse this entirely unnecessary crisis would be if Republican sentiment was no different. That would make for one terrifying, bipartisan coalition&mdash;one that would one day preclude me from even typing these words. Whether the Supreme Court would prevent that depends on what\u2019s popular. In theory, constitutions limit governments in many ways, but you\u2019re well aware of what they do in practice. Does the individual seem popular these days? That largely depends on where one lives, says everyone fleeing from a COVID-obsessed state. The point is that one can\u2019t reason with the unreasonable, and both Republicans and Democrats regard the other as unreasonable. Their differences are irreconcilable. One side will not convince the other of their views. So instead of wondering who will \u201cearn\u201d your vote in November (already? really?), better questions might be: \u201cWhen will I stop complying, and to where will I <a
