There seems to be no limit to Democrat extremism, because so many live within ideological bubbles where it is socially unacceptable to question leftism. This combined with Covid hysteria has produced alarming attitudes among significant numbers of Democrats, as unveiled in a recent Heartland Institute/Rasmussen Reports survey.

Seventy-eight percent of Democrats favor Biden’s unconstitutional vaccine mandate, despite the CDC admitting that vaccines do not prevent people from spreading the disease, and despite the dominant Omicron variant being relatively mild.

Seventy-five percent still view Anthony Fauci favorably, despite his conspicuous cluelessness, felonious lying to Congress, and likely role in financing the creation of Covid.

Here’s where it gets really scary:

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. …

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. …

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. …

Twenty-nine percent (29%) of Democratic voters would support temporarily removing parents’ custody of their children if parents refuse to take the COVID-19 vaccine.

To sum up, a significant percentage of Democrats would support straightforward authoritarianism of the sort imposed in communist China or the USSR.

As always, leftist attitudes are driven by the media:

The Salt Lake Tribune Editorial Board penned an article titled “Utah leaders have surrendered to COVID pandemic” on Saturday. The editorial board calls on Utah Gov. Spencer Cox (R) to use the National Guard to confine unvaccinated Utahns to their homes, and would not allow them outside, even to go to the grocery store.

Eventually, even the media will have to admit that Covid is over as a crisis. But there will always be another crisis.
