Agree with the first part of your posting, but the second part is incorrect in my view. I believe that the "Elects" would grab as much power as possible regardless of where it started.
Americans have now seen the naked tyranny that power-mad politicians institute the minute they have an excuse. Many are taking steps. When we saw people denied access to their second homes it was a big fat clue. Preventing landlords from collecting rent or evicting tenants was another. Your "property rights" can be dismissed by a psychopathic governor. The only thing more frightening than State power is Federal power. There are people sitting in prison for rioting at the capitol exactly as the left rioted in other federal buildings but all the leftists had their charges dropped (with a small number of exceptions like that guy Oregon troopers smoked). BVI looks interesting... There is no big fee to buy citizenship. You apply for residency and then spend 10 years as a "non-belonger" and then become a "belonger". The tax structure is unique, not a UK commonwealth schema. I've definitely got one eye on the exits.
Talk about an avalanche of growing hyperbole. As the right wingers in this thread reply to one another the successive assertions become more and more dramatic, to the point “naked tyranny of power mad politicians.” Get a grip morons. America is among the most fully open countries in the world. We also have the leading vaccination effort. You guys are truly dumb.
A lot of this year long lockdown was administrated by State and local heath departments. Health departments have large arbitrary power to shut down any business and control public commerce How does a Democrat take advantage of this power grab? CDC Director Declares Racism A 'Serious Public Health Threat' A State health dept now can close a business down for "health violations" If a business has an employee who tweeted the N word when they were 14 can they shut down a business for the public heath violation of racism? If the owner is Conservative, imagine what the state can do It's a formal Governmental cancel program
