Just brutal. What comes next? That's a serious question. It's becoming more and more obvious that throughout the pandemic, our government manipulated us with the assistance of most of the media while elected members of congress and the FBI worked to censor dissenting opinions and facts. Those that questioned anything about what was reported were labeled as "conspiracy theorists". Accomplished scientists with perspectives that didn't fit the narrative were smeared and ostracized - not just for their opinions, but for their questions and for stating facts. You know, the process of science. Educators and leaders at our most respected institutions of higher learning joined in on the madness.
For America's new clerisy, scientific debate is a danger to be suppressed

So, what happens when more and more people come to realize those in power manipulated them - that the Emporer has no clothes? I think there is a great deal of anger out there now, and it will only grow as more people realize they have been lied to and bullied into silence at the least and often much more materially harmed by this abuse of power. Retribution could get ugly. I hope not. I saw a clip where Joe Rogan stated that forgiving these people is the only way forward. I think he's right. Of course, that would require an actual desire to be forgiven.
