I think it's going to be the opposite. They're going to pretend the last 2 years never happened, and the idiot sheep will play right along as always. Then there will be a minority going "Shouldn't we hold people accountable for what just happened?" and the news and politicians will go "no, it's time to get back to normal, just be grateful it's over"

Then the damage will be done, and the perpetrators will walk away scot-free. All in time to set up the next scam.

I have a totally different theory altogether. They will claim victory in the War on Covid, and use their 'success' as justification to gradually introduce a surveillance state using the internet of things and a social credit system. The conspiracy theorist in me enjoys all this speculation a little too much, lol

Yes I'm sure they'll try that too, but I'm not sure how much traction that narrative will have given the large number of obvious failures.

Any government claiming victory on the war on covid will ring as hollow as George Bush Jr standing in front of the "Mission Accomplished" banner a decade before the Iraq war actually ended.

Honestly hoping your theory is the correct one. I truly believe the Dems want to do this, although their current incompetence may be what prevents my worst fears from becoming reality.
