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?

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?
Damn near
And how’s his wife holding up?
The English beheaded their king for claiming to be above the law more than a century before the USA was founded.
Can’t get smaller than one man.
