It's interesting to note, in fact, from this vantage point, that the 1A incursions that were made under the previous administration (during the George Floyd protests in particular, where we saw physical attacks on journalists, and arrests of the press, with a martial impunity not previously documented in this country) were never walked back during the Biden administration.

In fact, we lost even more rights ground, not to the administration itself, but to an aggressive and capital-captured right-wing judiciary.

You have MANY fewer freedoms and are MUCH closer to the margin of harm for resisting than was the case in 2016 or even 2020. Covid probably obscured the very real losses of the later era- guess what, suckers: the freedom you lost had nothing to do with public health precautions. In fact, aggressively rolling back those precautions and ensuring they will never be deployed again is, counterintuitively, part of further erosion of meaningful liberties- it's an assault on bodies.
