Yah, so first off, THANK YOU Mike Brock for presenting well constructed, articulate, commentary on the current state of affairs. Thoughtful and provocative.
Where are We The People? They, along with their so called leaders, wilfully ignore all that history has to teach us. Demagogues from Caesar to Hitler have risen on the same playbook.
And so we’ve arrived at; We The People “have a busy life to get on with – it’s so patently obvious - someone else will sort this out”, or “We believe this will be a brief, perhaps painful, societal correction that has become necessary in what’s manifestly an over permissive society” - or – “We endorsed with our vote, and support these actions, because we believe we’ve been left behind and now this will benefit us”.
Mr. Brock’s arguments do a brilliant job in laying bare the glaring issues en-train; No viable political opposition to provide checks & balances. Instead, we have adversarial opponents, treating each other as enemies to be thwarted, rather than seeking to benefit the electorate. And, we have arrived at the construct of a precarious world, which sorely requires Statesmen to undo the Gordian knots we’ve effected - but all we have are self aggrandising demagogues posing as leaders.
I'm sure I'm not the only one cynical enough to wonder how long it will be before the Trump regime just lines people up against the nearest wall and shoots them, if only because a bullet is faster and cheaper, so more "efficient" than deporting and/or warehousing in prisons anybody Trump wakes up deciding is "bad." It's not a huge leap, sadly.
They want to save money so they will quickly decide to revert to using gas chambers. After all, it is known to be an efficient and cost-effective technique for mass murder.
Except, private prisons make oodles of money off of detainees. I fear death is a better outcome than being forced to work in a tr^mp sweatshop making cheap Am^zon products.
For the benefit of a non-American not educated in all of the US’s political and various police forces, what role do US Marshalls play in this scenario? I thought they “shall” enforce court orders (albeit at the whim of Pam Bondi)?
I have to call bullshit on this. Pandemics are situations that are not constrained by politics. If our legal frameworks and institutions do not have sufficient alignment to deal with the biological realities of a pandemic, then the legal frameworks and institutions need to be updated.
Every country, and many states within countries, conducted "a hundred and one" different experiments on how to deal with COVID, many of them disastrously (especially the USA) *because* we weren't prepared as a society - medically, or legally, or even in having a shared sense of responsibility to each other's well-being - to deal with such an event that transcends "but what about muh rights!".
You refer to "supposed health" in a way that suggests you were, and perhaps remain despite the mountain of evidence, a COVID denialist.
You, like so many, appear to have reading comprehension difficulties. I *didn’t* say there *is* provision for your claimed “COVID tyranny” in the US Constitution. I said that governments all over the world *need* clearer legal means with which to fight a pandemic that isn’t subject to Libertariantards claiming their rights are being trampled on. Because, as I already said, pandemics don’t GAF about your rights.
We the People greatly outnumber the criminals, nazis and fascists in OUR White House. We the People must take back our country. Numbers matter.

What do you think we should do now???

That time is coming, perhaps sooner than most of us could ever have imagined.
Others will either be charged with serious but spurious crimes to drain their wealth through legal fees.
Perhaps other enemies of the state will simply have their bank accounts drained.
