A group in my state actually protested at the home of the ridiculous state public health bureaucrat who lorded over covid policies, including curfews and snitch lines and school closures, and she felt so VIOLATED that people would know where she lived and have the nerve to protest AT HER PRIVATE RESIDENCE. The woman who orchestrated the invasion of privacy of every single resident of this state was just appalled at being protested at home. She doesn’t report to the peasantry! (What was funny was that the group protesting said they would have gladly protested at a government building, but she hadn’t been into the actual office in months...)

My San Diego family had to have church outside for almost two full years. I’m still trying to wrap my head around how we all just folded to tyranny so fast.

This is one of the critical aspects of the COVID response that must be exposed, confronted,and corrected. The sudden exercise of all kinds of extralegal edicts and blatantly illegal suspensions of citizens’ Constitutional rights by unelected and elected officials was a stunning phenomenon. I think a lot of the efficacy of these mostly stupid, destructive, and inhumane activities was predicated on people simply being ignorant of the law compounded by fear. Fear of the virus, fear of the government, fear of the unknown. Fear is what allowed these power crazed halfwits to get away with this stuff, and the public correctly perceived the hostility, both latent and overt in the behavior of public officials. And as you point out, the nonsense continues in many areas of the country.
