As certain governors and mayors have shown recently related to the Wuhan Virus, the local or state executive can get away with being a dictator, at least for a short time. They can seemingly ignore their legislatures and shut down the courts and prohibit protests and claim health and safety as the reason. They have even used Stasi-style tactics of using the people to inform on their neighbors.

Ultimately if the people are sheep, and most are, the governor/mayor can get away with it. How they immediately reversed these policies to permit and encourage the protests after the senseless death of George Floyd demonstrates that for some of these leaders that the health and safety reasons they gave were a canard, hollow excuses foisted on a naive public and spread by a complicit media, all in an effort to grab and exert power. They told us that peaceful protests of their restrictions, and civil disobedience in the form of businesses daring to re-open, were a grave threat, and were put down in some cases with fascist efficiency. But apparently protesting racial injustice, violating all of their safety protocols while doing so, is not only allowed but encouraged, and rioting and looting need to be “understood.” French author Francois de La Rochefoucauld was surely prescient when he wrote that “hypocrisy is the homage vice pays to virtue.”

And since this time the wannabe dictators got away with it, they will be emboldened to exert such power in the future as it suits them. The Wuhan Virus claimed over 100,000 lives and counting in this country, and you can count the Constitution of the United States of America among the dead.
