Have any other nation’s citizens pushed back at stay-at-home orders more than Americans?

I'm American and recently I've been having more and more thoughts about moving to a Scandinavian country after I graduate with my professional degree. The degree of scientific illiteracy and cult of personality surrounding Trump is truly depressing.

Not to mention the politicization of f*cking mask wearing, of all things.

Scandinavia sounds like the perfect fit. Have a great time!

Maybe it's time for a new one then?

You are suggesting that we should have lifted our lockdown 4 weeks ago? Then there certainly is no problem partying in large groups now.

I'm suggesting you should follow the rules of the lockdown properly. and then this will be over.

Norway.

All of Scaninavia have fared well, and mind you, Norway ande Iceland did have very high numbers early.

Well all have fared well except Sweden that did not shut down,

so these are very comparable countries, especially Sweden,Norway, Finland, Denmark, and Sweden have something like 8 times the death toll of the other nations combined, so there is having a open society is wise theory in the drain for you.

Awesome, Norway sounds like a wonderful place. You probably already know this but don’t ever come to the States. You would be miserable here, it’s a hellhole. Also, there’s a gentleman on this thread who wants to move to Scandinavia. You should reach out to him.

I have been to the US. The people are nice. I just don't want to live there withouth insurance. I did not need one, as my country guarantee my safety wherever I go.

And I was wrong about he numbers before, Sweden have only 3.8 the number of deaths to its neighbors, only making the deathrate 7.7 as high when taking population into the account.

America is made up of ancestral bloodlines whom left totalitarian nations. That’s why we don’t like basic freedoms being taken away. I’m all for the CDC guidelines as being suggestions. However, fining or putting people in jail for practicing their basic rights is wrong. The government is using this to establish dominance but the revolutionary American spirit will not let it happen. If you don’t like it go bow to the queen of England.

Or find freedom without dictator Donald.

You should absolutely move to Scandinavia. I’ve heard it’s fantastic and the most magical place on earth.

Wrong. Most of you don't know what America is, at least on this website. You make up whatever "america"(lower case) and call it America as it suits your needs at the time. Some of you just want life to be your wrestling ring as long as you can rabble enough of your friends to join you.

it should be just suggestions wrote:

Donny boy is egotistical but no dictator. In contrast a dictator would force everyone to do something even if it’s against their will. Things like forced health care insurance, paying taxes that fund abortions, and using more taxes to support the development of nuclear weapons by a declared enemy such as Iran. Oh wait that sounds like Dictator Obama. This just shows how many of the Democrat governors are wannabe Obama little dictators. Again America isn’t Russia or China. We don’t bow down to commie dictators.

LOL

My ancestor taught in the Revolutionary War for the militia. His family risked their lives to come here for religious and economic freedom. He then risked his life fighting for that freedom. Is America perfect? No it’s not because it’s made up of imperfect people like the rest of earth. But it’s a whole lot better to have the constitutional freedoms we have then to be in many other places of the world. I’ve been in a Muslim country where if you weren’t Muslim they would imprison you. That sounds extreme but that’s the kind of power the Democratic Party wants.

Not arrogant. More like free. We won't get shot if we leave our house and you can't weld us into our buildings lol. People should be responsible for themselves tho. If they don't think it's worth going out then don't. Personally this shut down hasn't affected me in the slightest because I don't live in a rat packed city lol. Oh well I lied. Going to the movies with my daughter has been taken out which sucks. They need to open back up. Very rarely was someone within six feet of ya anyway lol.

Let's discuss President Donald Trump as it pertains to this issue and his toxicity amongst the decisions he makes:

1. Let us start by addressing his involvement in an Anti -trust lawsuit in 1987 that cost people in an entire league their jobs. Trump, then the owner of the New Jersey Generals of the USFL took it upon himself and his legal team to initiate a full scale lawsuit against NFL about their not wanting competition in the fall against the other league. Donald won the suit and $3. And killed an entire league.

2. Let us then talk about the Donald Trump who has all but masked the fact that Benjamin Netanyahu was a family friend of Fred Trump before Netanyahu became Prime Minister of Israel, calling into question the motivation of some of his controversial decisions.

3. Let us also address that, despite military school, he had 4 deferments up to the point the selective service expired.

4. Let us also address the Democrat, turned Republican, turned Democrat, turned Republican at his convenience for his own aims.

So when you see this man insisting that the country should open because the American people are strong, while he is correct about the strength of the American people, the only America he supports is the one who gives him what he wants. If you can't write a story admiring him, give him a(nother) loan, praise him or boost his personal economy, you're not his kind of American.

His sanitizing of the press to the people and coverage he wants smacks too closely to Il Popolo Di Italia, the Mussolini paper.

For a man who says he respects America, he doesn't show it by respecting Americans.

Maybe instead of a vote, we should all give him a dollar and say go away.

There is little benefit to Americans who are in America under President Donald J. Trump.

In following him in bullying governors? What are you following?

Dude, I know you’re locking yourself in your basement so you have tons of free time but you really have to find some new hobbies.
