I am not usually a fan of Matt Walsh, but he hits this one out of the park. The money quote for those who can’t be bothered with the unwashed deplorables out there. Emphasis mine.
I would like to propose an unofficial rule for any further discussion of these protests and the lockdowns that prompted them. Before you give your opinion, you should first reveal whether you still have an income. The rest of us would like to know if you are earning an income while you smear your fellow Americans for wanting to earn an income. Indeed, it’s rather striking that the loudest voices in favor of the shutdown are primarily people who have lost nothing because of it. It is bad enough for those who’ve lost nothing to wag their fingers at those who’ve lost everything, but to call them selfish? Well, that level of hypocrisy is just too much to bear.

I have no hard feelings against those protesters that are out of work. I completely sympathize with their plight. I am a bit concerned with the organizations behind these protests as they seem to have little concern for the workers plight and a big concern with corporate profits and a conservative business agenda. If the were organizing these protests on behalf of the down stricken then I applauded them. But, it doesn’t seem to be their motivation. I could be wrong. I’m suspicious when these actions are towards Democrat governors and not equally organized against Republican ones. Both have stay at home orders…why no protests in Republican governorships? Or are there and I’m not aware of them?
