It seems there is just no hope.
But I think that is also your answer. I can't remember which of the Adam Curtis documentaries it was (all of them maybe?) where he describes how we've collectively seem to have lost any hope that politicians will do stuff that feels meaningful to us in our own day to day lives. That's because the politicians are too busy wrestling with large nebulous forces that average dolts like us can't comprehend.
But following the pandemic rules is something we all had to deal with, so finally we can go all in and judge them without worrying that it's us who don't understand the full picture etc.

I just can't believe the amount of time wasting nonsense we are putting up with. I really do despair entirely with politics in the last few years. It seems there is just no hope. We are through the thick of it and out the other side.
