          That’s being picky about ‘republican’ and ‘conservative’ as these names get further distanced from their meanings. In some sense. The NAME of a certain party is the main qualifier if you are this or that, not a policy or a thought behind it. While republicanism is against monarchy (and first-day-dictators), conservatism too is hard to imagine in the way of proactively undoing established policies to celebrate something that old that it’s new for most living citizen, so it’s not conserving but introducing a new reactionary twist. It’s just a passing thought I don’t think I captured completely.
