Conservatism doesn't conserve anything except a particular demographic's unearned power.
Conservative contrariness appears arbitrary and absurd -- "no masks or vaccines ever, even for my pets!" -- but it is merely about rejecting the imposition of any obligation on that group no matter how trivial.

LIVE IN MIAMI
Looking from the Reuters News helicopter hovering over the Miami federal court house, the Trump crowd looks extremely small compared to what the authorities feared.

Caught sight of Trumpers waving an upside down US flag while wearing flag shorts... Isn't there a law against disrespecting the US Flag?

IF as many show as claimed are going fully armed, all it would take is one pack of firecrackers to start the firefight.
