A good portion of the population has been manipulated & brainwashed. The psychological damage will be no easy task to undo, as they not only rely on this new authority, but will defend the system not matter what. Logic and reasoning is their enemy. They live in a world of programmed emotional response.
Once the mask mandates are lifted (without vaxx restrictions - if that happens), we'll have a much clearer picture of who was wearing these out of 1) genuine fear/anxiety, or 2) fear of being seen without a mask/not standing up.
I still believe that balanced, rational people can and will prevail if they continue to trust their intuitions and navigate without fear. We see the minefield in front of us. They have to step on the mines to realize they are there. It will be critical how we interact with these new citizens.
A gloomy as things seem, there are more and more people waking up.
