Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is now comfortable telling you the truth about the government's lack of authority to enforce mandates:
"Government had no capacity to enforce any of this [mandates]. You must wear a mask. People wore masks in New York. If they said 'I'm not wearing a mask' there was nothing I could do about it. You must close your private business. 'I won't'. There was nothing I could really do about it.
It was really all voluntary. It was extraordinary when you think about it. That society acted with that uniformity voluntarily. Because I had no enforcement capacity. So you have a reduced trust in government."
Yes, people have a tendency to distrust the government after learning they were lied to for years. Unless you're a Stockholm Syndrome Democrat.
