Same thing in Canada. Trudeau couldn't back down because he was weak. A strong leader can say he heard them and we're going to stop the restrictions - because everybody knows the people didn't force him to. But a weak leader worries that the people will start making more demands once they realize their power.
I think it's more the case that government officials way (way) overreacted and now they can't back down without looking like idiots.
They're caught in a negative feedback loop of stupid.
Not stupid but powerless.

trudeau couldn't back down because his WEF owners would just replace him.
Great comment.
Hard to add anything to it.
