So since
@AshG pulled up all the data let’s go ahead and expand to that scenario, the whole survey group. Here is that data. On the topic of mandates it was split right down the middle of some level of oppose/support at 48%. But this should scare the hell out of anybody today. Roughly 1 in 4 citizens support direct punitive measures by the federal government against the citizens for lack of compliance with their over reach. We already have a first response from SCOTUS that the Feds could not even impose mandates across the whole population (granted it was just an injunction at this point as the case has to be heard in the lower courts but that injunction forms the basis of any expectation to prevail on appeal). And basically 1 in 4 think the Feds have the authority to assault the civil liberties of the citizens for non compliance of their authoritarian over reach. That is scary as hell
