re: #66 aatharuv

Agreed. I’d say the Democrats are closer to Burkean conservatives when compared to the modern Republican party (which is arguably in negative impact like the worst excesses of the French revolution).

Even Burke wasn’t that conservative. He supported the American Revolution and the end of the Penal Laws in his native Ireland. He just wasn’t in love with how the French Revolution turned out. He wasn’t a Metternich or a Czar Alexander I.
