I meam, this is true, but labeling all modern conservatives fans of monarchy is disingenuous. There are also fans of unregulated capitalism, racism, facism und probably many other -isms going around!
They all share a belief in a “natural hierarchy”. Whether that hierarchy emerges from God, the Market, or Pure Ancestors, they’re very similar arguments and they all lead to similar results: An imbalance of power and a group of people (with power) who justify that imbalance with the imbalance itself (I’m better because I have power. I should have power because I’m better.)
I think instead of having fewer representatives in government, we should make government smaller by having physically smaller representatives. Like children, or gnomes.
So a small government means a king?
Yeah don’t you remember the
31 branches of government?Branches are too big, the one orange leaf of government
Does that mean the leaf will fall off the tree soon?
Correct. Conservativism comes from a means of fanboying for the monarchy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservatism

The English beheaded their king for claiming to be above the law more than a century before the USA was founded.
What could be smaller than just 1 person?
Just a decapitated head?
Turns out I’m all for this version of a king.
To shreds, you say?
And how’s his wife holding up?
Damn near
Can’t get smaller than one man.
