But wait, there's more. If the US apparatus doesn't push back on this, and hard, it will tell us a great deal about where they stand.

No doubt.
The difference, I should note, is that of it being homegrown versus imposed by another country. Pride, alone, should compel American bureaucrats to push back against other nations' long arms.
No, we will revolt. Freedom of speech is a God given right. Fuck the self identified "powers that be".
After covid, the USA wont stand for the laws. They will be ignored and taken to court
The US citizenry took COVID lockdowns without revolt just like every other country. Some Americans talk big online, but overall they're just people like those living in every country, and will fall in line so their easy lives aren't interrupted.
Liberate the UK
In Oklahoma, lockdowns were ignored.
Every country had a small minority of people who fought the lockdowns. Canadians from across the nation occupied the nations capital for weeks during COVID, it was international news. That doesn't change the fact that the vast majority just layed down and let it happen.
For all the talk of "muh guns to protect us from the government", Americans just do what the government says, like good citizens. Internet talk is cheap and meaningless, when nothing actually happens when the shit is actually going down.
