The whole “advocating for individual choice and less government intervention” thing was always a lie that they told to dupe rubes into thinking their ideology wasn’t elitist and abhorrent.
I appreciate the history. But any conservative in America in the past 100 years, except for a small few loonies, would scoff at the idea that their movement supports the monarchy. People advocating for individual choice and less government intervention still think they’re doing that no matter how much it boils your britches.
Unless you think that language is static and unchanging and has no connection to modern colloquial usage.
If you think that conservatism still means supporting the monarchy, then go for it, and replace whatever word you think I mean with every instance of the word conservative in this thread. I’ll be talking about the people the thread is talking about and you’ll be talking about a very small smidgen of the population.
I mean, this is actually very demonstrative of exactly what I meant when I talked about it being a good check on my left wing bubble.
Old conservatism was defending the monarchy.
