The survey reveals 48% of Democrats support federal or state governments implementing fines or prison sentences on citizens who have criticized the coronavirus vaccine on television, radio or social media.
In even more authoritarian fashion, 59% of Democrats would favor a federal policy requiring the unvaccinated to remain in their homes at all times, in a violation of constitutional rights not entirely unlike the authoritarianism seen in countries such as Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union.
The authoritarian measures are decisively unpopular with the public writ large, with the polling revealing that support for the express coercion is limited to Biden’s most fanatical and partisan supporters. 45% of Democrats also support forcing the unvaccinated to live in designated housing as a consequence of their unwillingness to get the vaccine.
