>>10583Admittedly, the Donald Trump election and his efforts towards establishing totalitarianism in the U.S. does give me pause, but really the American people gave him so much opposition that I don't think that interment could happen again, really. Or anything really close. The people just aren't that supportive.
As far as coronavirus restrictions go, that even pragmatic types who'd be kind of predisposed to support harsh measures such as full-economy-wide lockdowns look back and find them a problem... that seems telling, to me. Same thing, really. The general populace isn't supportive of big government being domineering most of the time.
Your point about (that I think you're making) how anti-coronavirus measures have been indeed really restrictive in terms of freedoms and thus can present a legal framework for future seriously bad ideas is a valid one. Don't get me wrong. I don't exactly disagree.
