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

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.)

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.

I think instead of having fewer representatives in government, we should make government smaller by having physically smaller representatives. Like children, or gnomes.
