Another pattern I've noticed about Republicans during this crisis [View all]

No coping skills and a searing resentment that their freedom is limited. Sheltering in place drives them mad. In our on-demand society, the very thought that they have to apply some restraint and sacrifice is making them unbearable to talk to or be around. Perhaps I’m generalizing, but I feel the Republicans in my life are about to crack faster from quarantining than the Democrats.
