Cogent article and on point.
The other day my husband said, “Progressivism will not survive the return of real hardship.” I wrote it down because I felt it was profoundly true,
As bad as it is now, it may get worse. Most rational people see this, and don’t want to sit around watching it get worse and especially don’t want government mandates that result in SELF INFLICTED, needless suffering.

I’m no longer a Peggy Noonan fan as she has dwelled in the elitist class for far too long, but this article is on point.
Frankly, the aristocrats - liberals, progressives, and democrats - don’t see that they are fatally damaging the same members of the proletariat that they claim is their voting base.

Meanwhile some governors are playing into every stereotype of “the overclass.” On Tuesday Pennsylvania’s Tom Wolf said in a press briefing that those pushing against the shutdown are cowards. Local officials who “cave in to this coronavirus” will pay a price in state funding. “These folks are choosing to desert in the face of the enemy. In the middle of a war.” He said he’ll pull state certificates such as liquor licenses for any businesses that open. He must have thought he sounded uncompromising, like Gen. George Patton. He seemed more like Patton slapping the soldier. No sympathy, no respect, only judgment.
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer called anti-lockdown demonstrations “racist and misogynistic.” She called the entire movement “political.” It was, in part—there have been plenty of Trump signs, and she’s a possible Democratic vice presidential nominee. But the clamor in her state is real, and serious. People are in economic distress and worry that the foundations of their lives are being swept away. How does name-calling help? She might as well have called them “deplorables.” She said the protests may only make the lockdowns last longer, which sounded less like irony than a threat.
When you are reasonable with people and show them respect, they will want to respond in kind. But when they feel those calling the shots are being disrespectful, they will push back hard and rebel even in ways that hurt them.
These two Democrat "Governors" are prime examples of the Totalitarian Oppressive class. One is my governor, the White Obama. These are the ones that need to be Tarred and Feathered. They don't respect "The People" and they view themselves and their staff and political allies as ROYALTY.
