Buyer's Remorse

I may not live in the US or have US citizenship but I every right to comment upon and criticise American political events and persons. Especially when policies or statements emanating out the White House have or are affecting the country in which I live. That right extends to anyone else from outside the USA who posts here regularly or from time to time and wishes to comment. It is, after all, an open forum.
Think of us outliers then as disenfranchised stakeholders whose observations and comments are of no consequence. That, I am sure, would suit us just fine.
Elbows up!

In fairness, your ultimate prediction strikes me as little more than nihilism, without taking part in the outcome.

AFAIC you're welcome here whenever you care to come in and comment, Renauda.

Trump is not a conservative, but he has governed as one.
Probably more conservative in action than any President since Reagan.

But I would also be interested in your opinion Jolly. There much difference in your mind, or has it changed from now to before?

It was no secret Biden is Captain Lockdown. The Man practically took a bullhorn and shouted it from the rooftops.
This is a subject upon which Biden was very clear about his possible actions.
Don't blame Joe.

He can advocate, but I don't believe he has to power to impose them short of martial law.
Heres what NPR said about it in April. We shall see what they say about it now.

That didn't stop the national press from lambasting Trump for not locking the country down or for not throwing the concept of Federalism out the window...

I don't really care to go down that rabbit hole of broad opinion. Besides, there is no single definitive or correct answer.
Suffice to say that my understanding of conservatism will differ substantially from what others here regard as as conservatism. In Canada, Kamala Harris could easily be a member of the Conservative Party of Canada and thought of as a Red Tory. Likewise, she could just as easily be thought of as a conservative member of the federal Liberal Party caucus. Very unlikely however that she would occupy any role in the more left of centre, ND Party. I realise that such a statement on my part should elicit more than just a few sardonic laughs and outraged guffaws of feigning indignation from certain quarters of this Forum. So be it. That is precisely why I approach any definition or description of conservatism with reluctance.
However for the sake of simplicity and a desire to oblige at least a portion of your question, I would defer to the respected late American conservative political theorist, Russell Kirk ( Bio: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russell_Kirk ) and his
Ten Conservative Principles as a good place as any to start looking for an answer:Elbows up!

But Biden was very upfront about lockdowns. She should have factored that in, well before voting.
When I think of buyer's remorse, it's when the item turns out to be something that didn't work or wasn't what you thought it was...

Joe Biden didn't accomplish a single thing in the 47 years he's been a politician. And of the things he WAS involved in, he made the exact wrong choice every single time. You can expect that trend to continue, only the damage he will do now will be far greater.
But hey - those of you who wanted him..... You have to live with what's coming.

There will be NO honeymoon.
Politically, you're right. With the House being so tight, and with a Senate presumably held by the GOP, he's going to have a rough go of it.
Socially, I disagree. The press and our betters in the entertainment industry are slobbering all over this, and it'll last for a while. John Legend was singing "Georgia On My Mind" last night. We can expect another 2-4 months of this fellating.
