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

Ciel Herridge @cielherridge.bsky.social · 24/10/2025Wait a minute... if this president can ignore courts and existing laws, why can't we the people, the states, the secretaries of state simply ignore him? So he cancels the mid-terms, we simply carry on with the mid-terms. We conduct national business as usual. Why not? 020
