Nothing else.
The GOP opposed the Social Security Act of 1935, and they have been doing their best to weaken Social Security since that time. This should be the core of the Democratic response to any in the media or elsewhere when this proposal is mentioned.
The GOP opposes paid sick leave, and requirements that business provide paid leave. So this latest attack should bed identified as an attack, not treated as a legitimate response to the Coronavirus.

Well, the Orange Tasmanian Devil of Destruction will DESTROY IT! It is so simple and obvious. Get him within a few feet of any of that and his sensors set of the alert: DESTRUCTION IMMANENT! FIRE!
That's ALL we will get from this barbaric spawn of Vlad the Impaler meets Typhoid Mary. We can expect much more and, of course, attempts to capitalize on emergencies as well, and that makes me shudder with great concern as the hairs on my neck rise. It's dictatorship or bust for Big Bonzo Don.
