Conservatism is not going away anytime soon. On the contrary, the indiscipline & greed of the progressives will sway a return to Conservatism.

There are none so blind as those that will not see. Except the willfully blind!

Those that think greed and its handmaiden, individualism, is any part of any answer but rather, the central part of our every pandemic related problem and none of the answers whatsoever. As they scream conspiracy/just the flu and on and on ad Infinium ad Nauseum!

Will never ever own what they contributed to with their blanket stupidity!

Just bury the head, the conscience and any remaining semblance of genuine humanity! Think to a generic man, like it's ok to sacrifice a thousand lives so their tinpot little business can stay open? And charge all who disagree with their take as having a chip on their shoulder.

Well maybe, mine is against unmitigated greed and injustice! And I've seen far too much of it to stay shut up or allow the soulless inhumans amongst us to blame shift away from what they have inducibly wrought or contributed to/allowed!

If they truly wanted to save the economy/their piddling little business interests? Then we would have done far, far better to go in hard and early!

And I say, if we would change this then those holding the nation's reins must be completely replaced by real humans able to put their fellow man ahead of some Idiotic ideological imperative/greed, nepotism and cronyism, so rampant as to take the breath away/beggar belief!

If we cannot change flawed thinking, then we must change the flawed thinkers, an oxymoron if ever there was one!?

What won't work is more of the same, then more of the same, then more of the same time after time, after time, after time! All while expecting a different result!

Alan B,
I trust you include the Tinpot Public service in your assessment ? Those bureaudroids who get paid no matter what whilst others have to rake their brains as to how to make it through the day ?

"On the contrary, the indiscipline & greed of the progressives will sway a return to Conservatism"

I would love to believe that, individual, but it is the ex-conservatives who are out-socialising the socialists and slinging free money around on a scale never even contemplated by the left.

Apart from you and me, and other people who have no power, there are no Conservatives remaining. It's easier to buy votes than offer good policies.

ttbn,
The sway will come from necessity rather than ideology !

Here's the thing. Clearly, the conservatives with a hard right mindset are more focused on blaming anybody else than owning their own behaviour. And has been thus for as long as there has been upright humans/since this peculiar individualism has focused the minds of lazy greedy folk who seem to believe, they and their peculiar mindset are superior to the old collectives/tribalism/cooperative capitalism.

Trump said he wanted the Cheques to be $2,000.00. If he was sincere rather than full of it, as is his custom? He would have vetoed the bill and sent it back with his instructions!

The Democrats would have obliged with alacrity! And the Republicans would have cried tears of blood, pulled their hair out, rent their garments, but would not have gone against their President!?

The very well fed President claimed he wanted more then walked away from his opportunity to do so! Instead, went to play golf as millions joined the hospital queues and the food queues!

Apart from that, he seems to have gathered a bunch of sycophantic crazies who prosper by telling him he won or could still somehow steal the election?

I get that the usual hardcore right-wing/birds of a feather, commenting here are completely ok with that/or as is their usual practice, deny and or blame shift! Think that the only thing that matters is appearances! Factual outcomes? Who among the aforementioned gives a shite?

As for my up to date, minutes old, information, got it from the mainstream media rather than the ABC!
