Americans don't live under representative government. We are living under government by the screen people, of the screen people, for the screen people.

This is interesting and not something I was previously aware of (assuming it's accurate). The biden "vaccine mandate" doesn't, legally speaking, exist - it's just a press release. But a press release backed by the system is more powerful than an executive order against it. The press release serves as cover for private employers and state governments to have their own mandates while saying that they are required (or may become required), in order to avoid unpopularity or organization against them.
This is something I think at least some right wingers are getting wrong - I've seen people saying stuff like the biden administration is "bullying" private employers. The government might indeed bully small businesses, but the big oligopolies? The neoliberal globalist admin "bullying" neoliberal globalism? Nah. They wanted this, part of the point of "democratic" government is to give people a scapegoat for unpopular policy and a way to direct unrest and dissatisfaction along useless paths.
