Ask Renauda.
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

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

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...

Okay @Renauda
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:“Little by little I am learning the art of being quite content by doing very little slowly” ~ Lionel Hardcastle

My point is not about the lockdown but about Buyer's Remorse...

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.

The press and our betters in the entertainment industry are slobbering all over this, and it'll last for a while...We can expect another 2-4 months of this fellating.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Oh, I think the dick sucking will go on a lot longer than 4 months...

Renauda is a smart guy, I know that. I wish he posted here more often, but he seems to have categorized us.
True enough, I find the reactionaries here either amusingly disdainful or disdainfully amusing. Depends on my mood.
