HERE WE GO: WHO Sounds Alarm Over New Covid Wave Coming This Winter

Unfortunately, we live in a country that's run from the top down, even though it was never supposed to be this way (for these very reasons, like loss of control).

If they really want to lock people down, they currently have the ability to do so and state governments are powerless to stop it.

Anything and everything that runs in states that even kinda relies on "federal" dollars can and would be held hostage.

Then, there's the corporations that most American's rely on for any number of things. And the overwhelming majority of them side with the leftists in power.

For example, if the telecom giants that run the internet "backbone" think your state is rebelling and out of line with federal mandates, they'll shut down your communications.
And, unless you have your money in a shoebox under your bed, good luck accessing your money. Those banks that are tied in any way to the federal government will lock you out of your money and turn off your credit cards.

The point here is, 99%+ of the country is near fully dependent on not only the federal government, but also the large multi-national corporations that align with the federal government...and if the communists that run it all demand lockdowns, there will be lockdowns.

The only way it doesn't happen, is if there is enough pushback within the federal government. And currently, "we" are at a severe disadvantage.

I believe we haven't seen anything yet in terms of how desperate the leftists are in wanting to maintain power and destroy their political enemies.

... dependent on not only the federal government, but also the large multi-national corporations that align with the federal government...and if the communists that run it all demand lockdowns, there will be lockdowns.

Yep. In contrast, Trump correctly let the states decide regarding lockdowns, but of course most of them were quite happy to "dictate" according to the NIH/CDC's (malevolent) guidelines. With 0'Biδens Cryptocracy, it's the federal way or el$$$$$e - you will be puni$hed.

Which, rather than communism, is the working model for all notorious fascists, notably the aspect of the alignment of big business with the federal Cryptocracy:

The illustrious (/s) Council on Foreign Relations says: "... fascist regimes are revolutionary because they advocate the overthrow of existing systems of government and the persecution of political enemies. ... And although fascist leaders typically claim to support the everyman, in reality their regimes often align with powerful business interests".
