No, you're fear mongering. I can't tell you what's 100% for sure going to happen because no one can claim to know the future. However,
the United States is a capitalist country and that's not going to change.
So what does that mean?
It means that everyone is motivated to make money. The lockdowns and curfews mean that everyone is making less money. Less money means less taxes the government can take in.
So this is one thing that conspiracy theorists almost NEVER seem to get right. They often believe that power seekers would hurt themselves financially in order to have tighter control over a population. That is completely unrealistic. The only motivation for power seekers to have tighter control is to make more money or gain more power. This quest for power is ALWAYS balanced by political concerns.
We just saw a mob of white republicans, some being racist neo-nazis, infiltrate the capitol building to disrupt Congress. It was basically a sloppy coup attempt by a band of idiots who don't understand how easily they're being manipulated by professional liars. There were guns involved as well as bombs.
There are a bunch of crazy white people who truly believe that they need militias and they stockpile weapons for the day that the government will try to take away their freedom.
This day will never come.
Why? Because it is NOT LOGICAL AT ALL for anyone seeking power to try to rule Americans by force. Not even the military could stop them from being assassinated. And they would most likely be assassinated by the military itself. There is NO American that would go along with that kind of scheme. Some congressional republicans took their support for Trump to the very limit; the very edge of insanity but what Trump was asking for was too much for people like McConnel, Graham, and Pence. The constitution is stronger than Trump realizes or understands. He may not even make it 2 more weeks under threat of impeachment or exercise of the 25th amendment.
It isn't to say that overthrowing democracy in the United States is impossible.
However, it's NOT WORTH IT. No one with any substantial amount of money would be willing to risk it by imposing a new system of government; especially a dictatorship, on the people. That's why they spend millions of dollars getting elected or electing people they agree with. Every year there is a constant flow of millions of dollars that flows into politics beceause this is CHEAPER than the thing that conspiracy nuts are afraid will happen.
The number of people you'd need to willingly go along with you is so great a number that it would be easier for you to win a democratic election.
And if you don't believe me go buy the game Tropico on PC (it's on Steam). That game will give you some indication of how difficult it would be to run a banana republic.
The lock downs will end as soon as they can end. curfews will end as soon as they can. Why? Because just as poor people are losing money, so are rich people. Rich people are losing a LOT of money. Many businesses have had to close permanently. This is not a situation that is good for anyone. But if people refuse to wear masks and keep getting more people infected then THEY, NOT THE GOVERNMENT, are the ones making all of this take longer.
And now that there's a vaccine it will be required in certain fields and the rate of infection will start decreasing over time the more people are actually able to get vaccinated. And black people will get it too, once we see everyone else is okay.
