The COVID-19 pandemic exposed the left’s hunger for absolute power for all the world to see. Lockdowns, which studies now show did little if anything to stop deaths from the virus, decimated communities, destroyed businesses, compromised childhoods, and likely put health at risk. Almost three years after the outset of the pandemic and the beginning of COVID-19 lockdowns, the Biden administration is prepared to take its tactics to another level.
Biden may be unable to institute complete climate change lockdowns in the last couple years of his presidency. But he could take radical steps towards such a future, and he seems prepared to do so. After the COVID-19 lockdowns that occurred in the name of public safety, a future Democrat administration could be more bold.
