Indeed. COVID showed that the populace would defer to the government and do as they were told. Before lockdown there was a general feeling that only a country like China could lockdown it’s population. In the west, freedom and liberty were too precious.
And then they went and locked us down showing the government had far more power than it realised.
“Lockdown” in quotes, because it wasn’t a full lockdown. They started, but then realized that the economy would really tank, so they loosened it up a bit and made some nice PR (“6 feet” and “15 days”) to convince us that things were fine and under control.
Bro, entire states were ignoring lockdowns. The reason so many people died was because people weren’t following the restrictions the government put in place.

Literally no one thought of medical lockdowns in any way prior to COVID. There was no general feeling as it wasn’t on anyone’s radar.
Many many Americans think this way and its turned them all against government and into the arms of our benevolent billionaires like never before.
Its pretty sad.
