Democrats love to associate conservatives with an affinity for authoritarian doctrine. In reality, conservatives have an ingrained respect for authority, but incredible disdain for actual authoritarianism.

Covid has been an interesting dynamic for this in my opinion.

I effing hate government and I think it poisons everything it wraps it’s hands around.

But I’m also a Christian and the Bible is clear what my relationship with authority is supposed to be.

I’ll social distance, wear a mask, stay home whatever because I’m going to honor the government. I’d do it whether Obama or Trump was in office because my faith calls me to it. But I’m going to be pissed the whole time and vote accordingly.

I admit it’s not being done with the best heart but I know what I’m commanded to do and I’m going to do it.
