They have learned that declaring a pandemic is a cheat code to curtail individual civil liberties.
I still dont think it is. In certain countries where they dont have the attitudes or beliefs to resist it (read: Most of Europe+Canada+ANZ). But at least the US? They managed to do stuff for all of a month or two before states started doing major pushback, people started ignoring the powers that be, and now no one will believe them when they do it again. And many states have even started putting in place measures to make it harder to try again.
They took their shot, and while they managed to wing us, they still missed. And now they are reeling from that because that was their only shot.
I know red states like Florida and Texas will not comply but at the national level they will try to push authoritarianism like lockdowns and vaccine mandates again.
I am not confident in most normies.
Normies don't have a good memory and I doubt they actually learned any lessons from the 2020 COVID response.
Must be a difference of location. Most of the normies where I live were some of the first to stop paying attention to the Covid stuff once it became clear the government was taking the piss. The only people who insisted on it were the Leftist.
Let's assume they're right.
How come it's now one crisis after another? I don't remember things being like this in the 2000s.
It is no coincidence.

Too many weak willed fools who will sacrifice liberty for a false sense of security.
The authoritarian COVID 19 "public health" response was a societal shit test that society sadly collectively failed.
