In my own circles, everyone believes that they will never get away with it all again simply because there is too much resistance. I’m not so optimistic actually.
I'm glad to see that Tucker isn't optimistic. Way too many people are complacent, because they believe that there is a movement ready and waiting to resist lockdowns.
The American Revolution was won with the support of ~3% of the American population. In 2020, ~13% of Americans opposed lockdowns, but lockdowns continued anyways. It no longer matters how many people oppose something; the State will get what it wants no matter how many people oppose it.
Tucker directly states the reason that significant opposition isn't enough:
These people working with media and Big Tech, combined with daily propaganda from Covid, might be enough to overcome a large portion of the public that swears they will not comply this time.
Because lockdown opponents are complacent, it is too late to dodge lockdowns. Nothing short of disconnection from news media would be enough, but news is so engaging that few want to give it up.
I told people in the fall of 2020 that lockdowns were a permanent thing, but few if any listened. Will warnings of another round of lockdowns be listened to when the NYT, a mouthpiece of the US Federal government, starts drumming up fear of COVID? I doubt it.
