Can you name a so-called "Conservative" (other than Coolidge--was he called a Conservative?) that has lowered the debt

Monarchical powers

This is nonsense. Progressives are the closest we have to monarchical. Trump has deregulated a lot of the previous administrations monarchical regulations.

Trade restrictions and tariffs

The "liberals" you referred to in another thread as reflected by our Founders imposed these things.

Destruction of historical alliances

Which ones have been "destroyed"?

Character is unimportant
Character has its place. In itself, it has not been recognized as more important than performance. As has been pointed out, over and over and over on this forum, many, MANY, past presidents have been scoundrels but have been deemed to be great, or at least functional.

You demean the value of character when you over zealously apply it to someone you hate while overlooking its historical importance.
