Let’s revisit the tumultuous second half of 2021.  Dementia-addled President Joe Biden executed a disastrous retreat from Afghanistan in August that resulted in the killing of thirteen servicemembers.  Having spectacularly failed America’s warfighters, he transitioned quickly to the ongoing “fight against COVID.”  

No cost was too great or burden too onerous in the federal government’s war against microscopic organisms.  Billions were funneled to pharmaceutical companies (aka Democrat Party donors) to pay for witch doctors’ experimental elixirs.  Billions more were funneled to “news” platforms and “non-governmental” organizations (all on the USAID dole) to push the White House’s preferred COVID narratives and censor dissent.  In-class learning remained strictly limited.  School desks were transformed into walled enclosures discouraging human contact.  Masking requirements became only more elaborate and superstitious with time.  Any restaurants or small businesses that wished to avoid bankruptcy were forced to comply with ever-changing COVID edicts.  Members of the military were sacrificed as gene-therapy guinea pigs for Big Pharma.  The Occupational Safety and Health Administration threatened to prevent un-“vaccinated” workers from making a living.  Crazy Joe Biden promised a “winter of severe illness and death” for any American refusing to be a biochemical test subject.

It was twenty-first-century totalitarianism disguised as health policy.  It was the unholy alliance of State and corporate power (what’s that called again? — oh, right, fascism!).  It was persecution in the name of “Science.”  It was total insanity.

And just as the whole thing looked as if it were going to spiral out of control — when it seemed likely that “just-following-orders” medical doctors and troupes of dancing nurses would goose-step across the country with poison-dripping needles in their hands in search of the “noncompliant” — the COVID police state began crumbling.  One moment Biden’s Antifa shock troops were doxxing dissenting scientists and terrorizing their families online, and the next moment the loony-leftist brownshirts........
