I like structure in my society, but not to the point of abuse of powers.
If the rule is there I tend to follow it, and accept the consequences if I don't.
If you think you've been hard done by you always have the opportunity to challenge it through the systems available.
I'd consider myself a 'law and order' advocate.
Like a lot of arguments the 'law and order' issue is a spectrum, and as you move closer to the middle, where elections are decided, there isn't a lot of difference in position.
One of the strange things about the Covid situation is that many people normally considered as on the left are probably more strict in terms of 'following the rules' and supportive of the legal restrictions and penalties that have been imposed to control the virus.
They're the 'law and order' people.'
Many on the right (shock jocks especially) are complaining about the 'restrictions of liberties' and calling for a halt to closed borders etc.
They're the anarchists.
But even that's not set in stone...I know a number of people who normally vote conservative who will be voting for Labor in the upcoming Queensland election because of the way they've handled the pandemic.
Opinions on Trump are also on a spectrum.
There are folks who genuinely love him.
There are folks that absolutely hate him.
Some folks have a strong dislike for much or most of his behaviour, but don't feel a personal hatred of the man (that's probably where I fit)...and there are all the opinions in-between.
Where you sit on that spectrum will determine how you post and respond in this thread.
