Conservatives, are DeSantis and Abbot correct?

[tnt]

@Tom_Ch

you assume they really care about conservative values. what they care about is staying in office. they will bend to where the wind blows.

Agreed. but the question is, are they right? Are vaccine mandates the issue that keeps them in power?

65% of texans support vaccine mandates.

@WuWei

Where would you say?

I’m asking you. You brought pressure up.

[tnt]

@Smyrna

…cuz this is a free country and a mandate such as this, if not fought, can have consequences you haven’t imagined yet.

Is it not a conservative value to keep government out of private business?

Is telling a private company what they can or can not do regarding a vaccine mandate keeping government out of businesses?

That’s odd, only 52% are vaccinated.

[Kelby]

@tnt

Maybe.

I do know one full blown trumpet and Fox News junkies who was strongly anti vaccination and thought Covid was a lie. The his co worked nearly died and he rolled up his sleeve and is preaching vaccination to everyone.

But he’s an exception I think.

My Trumper neighbor was the same way. Told him I would vaccinated as soon as I could be. He said he’d “already had” Covid and it was no big deal.

A few months later he mentioned a lady from his church died 4 days after getting sick and he got the shot as soon as possible after that. “Did you get yours?” He asked me.

It was like the previous conversation never happened/

That’s a delusion. No conservative is encouraging other people to not vaccinate. Certainly no liberal like me.

The problem is not the vaccine, it’s the “mandate”.

But you knew that. Stop imposing.

That’s absurd. Mandates are designed to get people vaccinated. Opposing mandates is on it’s face, opposing vaccination.

Also, how is it conservatives to tell companies what they can not can not do re: vaccinations?

52% entire population fully vaccinated.

73% 12 and older have had 1 dose.

Do you truly not understand? How can that be. Mandates are “designed” to force people to do things.

I have been fully vaccinated since before I was “allowed”. I am adamantly opposed to Jbiden’s edict and any government pressure to do pretty much anything.

How can Jbiden tell companies? And use OSHA to enforce it?

Did you caveat your poll?

Government mandates should be reserved for the most extreme situations only. One can support vaccination and encourage people to get the shot and still oppose the government forcing it on people.

Abbott is forbidding PRIVATE COMPANIES from mandating their employees or customers have the vaccine. Regardless of Biden’s EO.

[peek-a-boo]

No government mandates for or against vaccination. Let individuals and the private sector make their own decisions.

[Orygun]

@peek-a-boo

No government mandates for or against vaccination.

Are you also against vaccination mandates for public school kids?

[Camp]

Exactly and this super flu just isn’t it.

Get the vaccine and be honest about natural immunity superiority.

[Camp]

What EO??

[conan]

@tnt

Second question - how do you square conservatives using the power of the government to tell businesses of all sizes how they can do business?

That’s rich coming from authoritarian.

No.

Lol at me being the authoritarian.

Regardless, I wasn’t asking of a contemporary liberal democrat’s take on this - I was asking for the contemporary conservative take, which I obviously cannot give.

Would you care to offer an answer to the question?

@Camp

What EO??

Sorry - I thought Biden’s 100 employee thing was an EO.
