2020 didn’t just lock down a country — it exposed who would think, who would fold, and who would use fear like a political power tool.
And now in 2025, the same voices who pushed panic, punished dissent, and shamed anyone who asked a basic question are suddenly rewriting their roles.
They weren’t calm.
They weren’t measured.
They weren’t “following the science.”
They were following the script.
In this episode, Ryan takes you back through the fear campaigns, the mandates, the punishments, the hypocrisy, and the revisionism that’s suddenly washing over the media like none of us lived through it. Kids isolated, parents drowning, careers ruined, and anyone who stayed level-headed branded the enemy. And now? They want empathy without accountability.
This isn’t nostalgia.
It’s a reminder — of who pressured the country, who weaponized panic, and who’s now pretending they were the rational ones. And why the same tactics still show up in issues like crime, immigration, censorship, and tariffs.
If you lived through 2020 and wondered, “Did everyone lose their mind at once?”
This one is for you.
