Part 6/11:
McIntyre shares a personal narrative reflecting on how the year 2020 and the rise of COVID-19 lockdown measures prompted a recalibration of his political perspectives. He reflects on the disparities in governance experienced during that period – closed churches juxtaposed with open establishments, and the troubling dichotomy of societal norms that seemed to prioritize certain behaviors over others. This backdrop illuminated for him the divergence in governance and the overreach of bureaucratic authority, leading him to reevaluate foundational aspects of democracy.
