"Governors are over-reaching."
Governors are like the president of their states. They have emergency powers, they don't have to cooperate with subpoenas, they don't have to show their taxes, they can move money around whenever they want, they can use the attorney general to investigate political enemies, and they can't be investigated while in office.There's no such thing as over-reach. Or, there is, and the only one over-reaching is Trump.

" It is about pushing back on the totalitarian impulses of the Democrats,"
Don't give me that bullshit. You're fawning over the most totalitarian president in US history. You're just against Democrats.

"now well known to be Communists."
Everybody looks like a commie to a fascist.

" I will never knowingly vote for a Communist."
You're knowingly gonna vote for a fascist.

People like over-reaching governors.... GOP Governors Who Reopened Quickly Met With Low Approval Ratings, New Poll Finds Jack BrewsterForbes Staff Business I'm a news reporter for Forbes. Updated May 12, 2020, 12:28pm EDT TOPLINE The Republican governors of three states—Georgia, Texas and Florida—that pushed their states to reopen quickly face low marks in their handling of the outbreak, a new poll finds, while governors from both parties that took a more cautious approach to easing restrictions have won praise. The poll, conducted by the Washington Post and Ipsos in a survey of over 8,000 adults, shows that a governor’s approach to reopening transcends politics, despite the partisan politics playing out over President Trump’s handling of the virus. The poll found Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, who was slow to shut down his state and one of the first to reopen, with the lowest approval rating at 39%, while Texas Governor Greg Abbott and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis earned the second- and third-lowest marks at 57% and 60%, respectively. The highest mark was given to Ohio Republican Governor Mike DeWine at 87% approval, who has been heralded for his measured approach to opening the state; New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and California Governor Gavin Newsom, both Democrats, earned the next highest approval with approval from about eight in ten adults. Overall, 71% of Americans approve of their governors’ performances, with majority bipartisan approval. Trump, who has been criticized for his response to the virus, received much lower marks, at 43% in the new poll. The president pushed back on the governors’ high approval ratings in a tweet Tuesday morning, saying they “could in no way have gotten those numbers, or had that success” without his help. Remember this, every Governor who has sky high approval on their handling of the Coronavirus, and I am happy for them all, could in no way have gotten those numbers, or had that success, without me and the Federal Governments help.
