Wish we had a governor like her - South Dakota

From The Daily Wire:

South Dakota Governor Refused To Implement Stay-At-Home Orders. Her Citizens Throw Her A Parade
South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, who has decided to buck the trends around the country and refuse to implement stay-at-home orders in her state, prompted some of her grateful citizens to surprise her with something: a parade.

The parade included numerous vehicles including firetrucks blaring emergency sirens, a pickup hauling a stock trailer, a concrete truck, and even construction equipment, as The Blaze noted.

Noem tweeted, “I am so blessed to serve the people of the great State of South Dakota. You folks made my day!”

Her handling of the Chinese COVID pandemic was absolutly spot on. It is the responsibility of the individual citizen to make their own decisions. Locus of Control again.

On Monday, Noem released the “Back to Normal Plan” for her state. She wrote:

Thanks to a strong commitment and respect for the principle of personal responsibility, South Dakotans have dramatically changed the trajectory of our initial COVID-19 projections. With our hospitalization capacity currently at a manageable level, South Dakotans are asked to the following steps as we look to get back to normal.

In the document, a FAQ  answers various hypothetical questions, including, “Does this mean I no longer have to stay at home?” The document answers, “South Dakota never issued a ‘stay at home’ or ‘shelter in place’ order. South Dakotans are encouraged to use common sense and practice good hygiene and reasonable physical distancing.”

Locus of control? One of the really big differences between liberals and conservatives. Two quite different ways of thinking. Impossible to un-see once you get clued in. Here and here for starters.
