    All party groups are less likely now than a year ago to favor a more active government role, but independents' opinions have changed the most.
    In 2020, 56% of independents wanted the government to do more to solve problems, compared with 38% now. Independents are even less inclined to want a more active government role today than they were in 2019 before the pandemic began, when 45% held that view.
    The same is true of Republicans, whose opinions did not show meaningful change last year.

    Where is the government more intrusive than in Texas. The government has its nose in womens lives like never seen before. They will force them to have children they cannot afford. they will have the police watching them. If they have a miscarriage, they will be possibly tossed in jail. They have to prove to the pregnancy Gestapo that it was not their fault. Their neighbors and friends will be watching them every minute to make 10 K off them if they seek an abortion. pregnant women will be living in a fishbowl, with no privacy at all.
