    Glendower: I can call spirits from the vasty deep.

    But will they come when you do call for them? Shakespeare’s Henry IV, Part 1, Act III:

      But not surprising. In my experience, liberals tend to live in a state of fear, which makes them susceptible to a totalitarian government who promises them safety, a fact that the Democrat party has been eager to exploit.
      Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
      But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
      Than a fool in the eyes of God

        It's kind of weird though how this was sort of in reverse right after 911.

          Are you referring to the Patriot Act? That has never been popular among conservatives. On the other hand, liberals were recently begging Trump, a man they think is basically Hitler, to rule the country like a dictator under the premise that it would stop them from getting sick.

              I'm looking for poll numbers ("fear about terrorism" polls post 911 between the party lines) because I basically could have been talking out of my behind. Will get back to you if I find anything.

                Or they are mostly atheists with no hope beyond this world?

                    People have a tendency to get things out of proportion. It is natural to fear the unknown and over react if we believe the boogeyman is going to get us.

                    It is also natural for the media to hype or exaggerate things to attract an audience, and thus satisfy their sponsors.

                    Democrats are more inclined to follow the media and buy into the hype. The earth is overheating and we're all going to die, the ozone hole will grow until we all have cancer, an asteroid is going to hit us, Asian hornets are going to murder us, blah blah blah. This pandemic is bad, yes, but not worth screaming and running around in circles over. History will look back one day and ask why there were so many snowflakes during this era.

                      Your experience is likely you do not associate with liberals all that much if at all. All of my friends do not live in fear they respect the risk of the coronavirus and avoid getting the infection and the acknowledge the possibility of giving it others. Trump is terrified of the virus when two of his staff showed up infected, but nonetheless took no measures to protect his staff, and himself. Now once the fear sets in things change in the White House.

                      More than 70 of those who showed up for a demonstration in Madison tested positive for the virus. These people ridicule and do not take the virus seriously and like Trump are not concerning about protecting themselves and others.

                        Exactly factually backward like so much of your understanding of the world. Conservatives being more fear-based and more totalitarian than liberals are both well-known and studied phenomena.

                        e.g. Psychology Today: Fear and Anxiety Drive Conservatives' Political Attitudes - Can brain differences explain conservatives' fear-driven political stances?
                        "I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump
                        "Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism" - George Orwell
                        "[Capitalism] as it exists today is, in my opinion, the real source of evils. I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy" - Albert Einstein

                          Says the people willing to accept totalitarian rule, to ‘stop’ a virus.
                          "The man from the yacht thought he was the first to find England; I thought I was the first to find Europe. I did try to found a heresy of my own; and when I had put the last touches to it, I discovered that it was orthodoxy."

                            If it's science-based, liberals fall into line with the fear lockstep. Science is the God of prediction. Which is ironic considering history is chock full of scientific predictions of global gloom and doom that never happened (including the "models" that predicted the death outcome of this virus).

                              I could say something about certain people being too stupid to know enough to be afraid ... but I won't.
                              My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1

                              If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not  bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26

                              This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; James 1:19
