As I read Glenn Reynolds' Substack tonight, on "Why Fauci Matters-- He's not just a powerful guy who acted in bad faith. He's a totem to a whole class of people who don't care about that", this quote stood out as an answer that fit my perspective, along with his view of Fauci as a totem:
"I think the answer is that Fauci, and Faucism, represented the apotheosis of what the managerial/academic/journo class desires: An excuse for sweeping power, based on (alleged) expertise, in which they could ride roughshod over those stupid proles and flyover people while preening about the allegedly superior moral and intellectual qualities that justify their rule.
Then it turned out that they were wrong about nearly everything and — as Fauci’s diaries demonstrate — knew it at the time, at least at the top."

Something I noticed back in undergrad school (late 60s) was that we are the aristocracy attitude. You saw it in the arbitrage crowd in the 80s, in the Davos crowd, in Zuck and Gates.
And The Deep State Dwarf was at least as bad an ambassador as Zuck
Watch for some real social backlash if
Fauch lives long enough for this to get really close to the courts.
PPS Don't forget Barry's minions who talked about how the Romans would slaughter everybody when they entered a newly conquered province.
