It’s a mistake to think there’s perfect overlap between hardcore Trump supporters and people who believe the restrictions imposed in response to Covid have been excessive.
I’ve been surprised in the last couple weeks by how many people I’ve come across who are being very casual and lax about social distancing. I went to an outdoor wake a few days ago where everyone was shaking hands and eating from a buffet. I doubt all or most of those people believe Covid is a hoax. They just presumably think that public restrictions are excessive and unnecessary.

If 15% of Canadians would vote for Trump, by definition that means 85% wouldn’t.
85% of people don’t agree that water is necessary for life.
Regarding Covid, I think there’s a real fatigue factor that’s set in - people will got that point at different times. So long as the vast majority are wearing masks out in public spaces like the grocery store and malls, the spread in the community will be relatively slow.
And I have yet to see any business truly flaunt mask laws. If a backyard bbq wants to get all up in each other’s viral loads, that’s their choice I guess. But they can’t spread it at Co-Op, so that’s about as much as we can ask.
