Amajority of registered U.S. voters are worried that government officials in the U.S. will retain their newly claimed expansive powers following the end of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a new Just the News Daily Poll with Scott Rasmussen.

Sixty-two percent of the respondents said they were somewhat or very worried about American governments holding onto their pandemic powers after the health crisis finally subsides. Just 32% were unconcerned with that prospect....

Not good enough.

We knew the Patriot Act was shit but couldn't or wouldn't get it repealed.

Tyranny is always -- always -- justified by a "good reason" and implemented with "good intentions".

And with few, if any, exceptions, those politicians and unelected bureaucrats who aspire desperately to be a "benevolent tyrant" usually possess little wisdom (at least no more wisdom than anyone else) and most often are representative of the worst type of leader: A fool with unlimited power.

Elections, even corrupt ones, have consequences.

But once elections no longer reflect the will of the voters, how long can things last?

But Joe and Ho “won” in a “landslide” of historic proportions!

Only if we let them.
Time to get people to start leaning hard on their state reps, the federal ones are GONE.

"This pandemic is not going to end."

It will last longer than Hitler's 1,000 year Reich.

This pandemic is not going to end.

Not without open war, anyway. At least, that's the way it looks right now.

“We knew the Patriot Act was shit but couldn’t or wouldn’t get it repealed.”

Couldn’t get 0bamacare repealed either. Or prosecute even the most egregious crimes against the USA.

At some point you have to wonder who’s side they’re really on.

All the karens have let the camel into the tent and now...they are being karens about it.

[Grampa Dave]

Majority of Most Americans not worried that governments will retain expansive new powers after pandemic ends! Most supposedly voted for Biden in November, and they welcome governmental intervention at all levels, 24/7!

[Little Ray]

That was the whole point of the exercise.

[Ancesthntr]

Not if the majority don’t allow it.

[ealgeone]

Then why vote for the party who wants to control every aspect of their lives??

[Jonny7797]

This is not new power, it’s just being exercised...this is the issue, people wake up too late.
