Your forgot the “in-bred’ part. Anyone who agrees with ‘royalty’ can never be conservative. “Royalty” is simply an accident of birth. The entire “royal” family are simply in-bred welfare recipients.
So true, I wish I would have thought on that, Thanks.
People who think like you do - who don’t recognize the importance of ideals and values and their enshrinement in traditions - are one of the reasons our own country is going to hell.
Maybe not in the modern American sense. But in the broader, historical sense, monarchy is a conservative concept rather than a liberal one.
Historically, conservatism is about preserving tradition, hierarchy, and putting checks on democracy. Liberalism is about individualism, tearing down class barriers, and promoting free markets and civil liberties.
The conservatism of late 20th century America is really the Jeffersonian liberalism of early 19th century America. And today's liberals are the revolutionary Jacobites of that era.
The world at large sees monarchies as conservative. It's Americans who've created this anomalous definition that equate conservatism with individualism and free markets.
