Demonic. in politics

If it were real, you'd have it. Fox would have had the exact page number and direct quote plastered on every program for a week.

But you don't have that because it isn't real. Fox lied to you and they know you won't go look for yourself. You'll just believe them because you want it to be true.

Why won't it go away? Because Rome did a lot of things really well, and it did them consistently for centuries across a very large area. And we kept doing them because it was the only system available.

Roman law, Corpus Juris Civilis, is the backbone of western law TO THIS DAY.

Christianity, which became the state religion in the 4th century, was the largest part of the Roman empire to survive the collapse. It inherited Europe because it was the only standing administration. The territories that Biships were appointed to by the Pope? Old roman provinces.

Which is why Latin stuck around for so very long. The church was the only source for education for a very long time. the educated learned latin from... roman classical texts.

Which is why Latin is the root language of science. To this day.

Major European cities like Paris, London, Vienna, Cologne? All began as Roman military settlements to control the locals.

How we organize cities is how the Romans organized cities.

For centuries after the collapse of the Empire in Rome, Europeans kept trying to re-claim it. Up to the modern era.

The legacy of the Roman Empire will never die as long as Europe and it's colonies still exist.

So, a broader answer rather than a specific example would be a film that focuses on individuals over a group – often the family as the core –, the father/leader is ALWAYS right, violence as a solution, jingoism, and military service, religious faith (not just Christianity), and capitalism as a wholly positive force rather than a destructive one.

To give you an example: Pixar's The Incredibles.

This movie is very conservative with a mix of progressive ideas.

Mr Incredible is the one who makes the money (even if it's a job he hates).
He's clearly the head of the household.
Mrs Incredible/Elasta-girl gave up her career as a hero to be a stay at home mom.
The kids are told to hide what is special about them because they need to fit in with the group.
When they were heroes, it was in the service of the government.

Syndrome's plan? He wants to give everyone superpowers via technology, which the film treats as villainous. The idea being that if greatness is handed out to everyone, it stops meaning anything. (that's coded for communism being evil!!!) When everyone is special... no one will be.

It's only when the family casts off the restrictions place on it by the group – they stop being a suburban family and follow what Dad/Mr Incredible wanted and become super heroes again – are they happy and fulfilled. Violet flirts with boys. Dash is in Track. Mom & Dad are happily together.

You didn't think that movie was a conservative movie, did you?
