Pennsylvania's Governor Wolf learns a hard lesson

What happens when you give an executive order, and the the inhabitants and local government officials throughout the state simply rebel?
BACKSTORY:
"On May 6, it was revealed to lawmakers during a phone briefing that of the roughly 3,100 v***s deaths by that date, 68 percent had occurred in nursing homes and similar care facilities, that the average age of those who had passed was 79 (in a state where the average life expectancy is 78.5 years), and that 84.4 percent of the victims suffered from one to four comorbidities.
These shocking figures are even more tragic in light of the fact that the state’s aggressive plan for protecting nursing homes was never fully implemented. The state government’s INCOMPETENCE is even more egregious considering the fact that the state health department issued a memo on March 18 stating that "Nursing care facilities must continue to accept new admissions and receive readmissions for current residents who have been discharged from the hospital who are stable….This may include stable patients who have had the C****-** v***s."
CURRENT SITUATION
"All of southwestern Pennsylvania was declared free to move from red- to yellow-level restrictions on May 15 EXCEPT for Beaver County. This exception, the county government believes, is largely due to the county’s stats being skewed due to a particularly lethal outbreak at a nursing home in the county that k**led at least seventy-one residents."
Well, Beaver county residents and local governmental officials rebelled against these restrictions. "What’s more, the district attorney announced that his office would not be prosecuting any violations of the shutdown orders and had advised all local police departments to not get involved in state enforcement orders.
This defiance was echoed by two other counties in the central part of the state, including Dauphin County, where the state capital of Harrisburg is located, whose officials released statements effectively saying that they would no longer participate in the enforcement of the red-level shutdown orders. The county sheriffs of two additional central counties also released statements saying that their offices would not participate in any enforcement activities. A few days later, these counties have been joined by an additional eight counties that are variously demanding that the state let them move on to the yellow phase or simply declaring that they are planning to do so. With nearly a third of the state now out of work, such r*******n is not surprising in the least.
Of course, Governor Wolf did not take such defiance lightly and unleashed a torrent of threats and abuse on the recalcitrant offenders, declaring that they had "decided to surrender to the enemy" and that they were "choosing to desert in the face of the enemy, in the middle of a war." He then threatened to withhold any discretionary federal funds from any counties that rebelled, and then went even further, warning businesses that he would unleash the regulatory goons on them to make them bend the knee. Restaurants' liquor licenses would be suspended, any business that reopened in defiance would no longer have business liability insurance, and they could risk losing certificates of occupancy and health certificates."
Let's see how this plays out!!!

Anger the people, maybe they’ll change parties. What kind of mental deficiency keeps people choosing the same path that leads to oppression. makes you think, maybe they really want it that way, like you said, we’ll see.

===============
America, we now know that the Socialist-democrats are drunk with power. They violate the constitutional rights of the people to justify their dumb and stupid brain using the C****av***s. Their main purpose is to destroy the economy so that the people will h**e and blame president Trump.
But that does not work .We the people know better than that. The people all know these democrat-socialists are power-hungry bastards. They violate the peoples' constitutional rights to stump on the peoples' feet. Notice that the worst run state are all led by democrats.
