Ciel Herridge @cielherridge.bsky.social · 17/02/2026I read somewhere that conservatism is the only political movement because everything else is just being a decent human being. Fairness, truthfulness, sharing, keeping your hands to yourself, etc. are default. But it takes concerted effort, maybe even a charter, to be a total prick about everything. 110

They won't, but that should be a much bigger story than whether the Democrats are doing everything that *they* can. 19050701689
