      It means the unelected government, what's variously called The Blob (Obama's people), the Deep State (Trump's people) or the administrative state (everyone else). None of them are subject to the other branches of government. As we saw under Obama, they straight up give orders. As we saw under Trump, they will straight up disobey orders they don't agree with, and lie to the president. After the legislative branch passed a law forbidding them to spy on us, they broke the law, lied about it under oath to Congress and nobody went to prison.

      With their man the senile Biden in, they now fully control the US government. You're never getting your pre-virus freedoms back. They will fight before they give an inch.

            That's not a power they've gained, nor a freedom we've lost. They always had those powers and exercised them. or did you enjoy the right of public nudity before the pandemic? Maybe you wore gang colors and the cops just let you go on by. Let's actually talk like adults, I left my house whenever I felt like it during the lockdown, because in america basically no legal action was taken when you did that. I could go anywhere that was open and do whatever the business there allowed, often not even requiring a mask.

              Well, I for one appreciate your strong defense of the powerful against the little guy. Speak truth to the powerless!

                I don;t like this, I'm just letting you know it isn't new, and you'd have to be pretty privileged to think it wasn't. What we lost wasn't rights during the pandemic, we lost lives, we lost houses, and we lost some more of the sense of community in america, tiny as it already was.
