Emboldened by the lack of resistance to their dictatorial lockdowns, Democrat governors are once again wielding their iron fists in an exercise of pure cruelty timed to punish their subjects for the holidays.
The media has been diligently fanning the flames of hysteria over a spike in coronavirus "cases" that misrepresent the true numbers by including false positives, as well as those who are unsymptomatic and totalitarian Democrats, are making their move to cancel the traditional Thanksgiving holiday.
The week following the election has seen multiple Democrats imposing a second series of the crushing orders that have made citizens prisoners in their own homes but one governor has now gone as far as to threaten violators with jail time.
Oregon's Kate Brown has gone the full fascist by vowing to send her goons into the homes of those who defy her decree to limit gatherings to no more than six people in a show of tyranny that has not existed in this land since it was ruled by King George of England.

"Oregon Gov. Kate Brown says large parties could trigger fines or jail time during coronavirus ‘freeze’":
As coronavirus infections soar across Oregon, Gov. Kate Brown indicated Friday that she intends to take a much harder line to enforce her new “freeze” order that limits the size of social gatherings to no more than six people.
The governor warned that violations are misdemeanors punishable by citation or arrest, and Brown said she would work with state police and local law enforcement to encourage Oregonians to comply with her directive.
“For the last eight months I have been asking Oregonians to follow the letter and the spirit of the law and we have not chosen to engage law enforcement,” Brown said Friday. “At this point in time, unfortunately, we have no other option.”
The governor’s office cited emergency authority granted to her by Oregon law. Violators could face up to 30 days in jail, a fine of up to $1,250, or both.
That’s the same set of penalties the governor’s office described for her “stay home” order at the pandemic’s outset last March. Authorities said at the time that they intended to inform people about the laws rather issue punishments, and it’s not clear those penalties were ever applied.
The notion of citing or arresting people at their homes will become another flashpoint in the ongoing culture wars over how to limit the spread of the deadly disease. The governor’s freeze comes just ahead of Thanksgiving, as the state and nation are at a difficult moment with a presidential transition underway and infection rates soaring in Oregon and across the country.
“The Oregon State Police will be working with local law enforcement to enforce the Governor’s orders, in the same way local law enforcement officers respond to noise complaints for loud parties, for example, and issue citations,” Brown spokesman Charles Boyle said in an email Saturday. The state police said it wouldn’t have details on its enforcement plans before Monday.
Brown's "freeze" also puts severe restrictions on restaurants and other small businesses and limits religious worship services, a key target in the left's war on western civilization.
The governor's escalation in the war on Thanksgiving goes even further than anything that her fellow authoritarian Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan who has become the poster girl for Dem tyranny has done and could be a sign that she is angling for a position in a Biden administration.
They aren't going to stop at Thanksgiving either, they're coming for Christmas next, just wait and see.
