I think one reason the American right is so insane is that the only actual historical conservative tradition in this country is slavery and Jim Crow, but this can't be admitted
Today in there’s nothing new under the sun: In 1903 a white hotel worker became a right wing celebrity for being fired after refusing to make booker t washington’s bed because he was black and a bunch of people around the country raised thousands of dollars on her behalf
in most of Europe by contrast you've got monarchy and official state religion, which while not great in themselves can be filled up with a lot of different policies
Yes! Monarchies usually have some historical (at very least) lip service (or sometimes more) to public works and services, and social supports. The *French* gave us noblesse oblige. Gives your trad plenty of noncontradictory space to imagine modern social services.
