So COVID will most likely eventually die down. That’s just how these things work fortunately. But what happens for the next time we have a situation like this which is inevitable. Do we lock down entirely again? Do politicians feel emboldened to flex their powers and people more willing to just respond and comply? Will people freak out as much as they have this year?

Once government establishes that it has some power, Pandora is typically out of the box and you can expect to see it again.

Depends on who's up for election/reelection.

I certainly think it may set a precedent.

However, if you think this overreaction isn’t related to politics you would be a fool.

Yes, in early November.

This will happen again in late 2023, early 2024.

This is all directly proportionate as to what political party is in power. See a pattern here?

If it's smart, it hires the same agent that represents COVID.

I think people are foolish who think it’s just tied to the election, it’s far bigger than just that

You've nailed it.

Co-vid was a test run for the next big Preten-Demic.

We either make them afraid to try and enslave us NOW or we pay the price later.

I mean, this playbook was opened following 9/11 and fisa, etc.

The time for worrying about overreaction to save lives is almost two decades past at this point, considering how the world changed following the death of 3000 people at the Pentagon and NYC WTC. That killed way less people and we are still dealing with the after effects.
