I think Covid simply revealed what was there all along, which is a slave mentality. We've been boiling frogs for decades, and when it came right down to the wire, average people were willing to bow down or ignore the evil taking place around them, in the form of accepting the lie.
What else will they accept? Everything probably. This was a litmus test of who is awake, who is sovereign, who is willing to stand up and answer the call.
