That’s what you get from a two party system, you get two groups with a fetish for different types of hierarchies.
Reject hierarchy and push for local rule, it’s what we in the box like to call liberty.
You’re conflating two unrelated things to make some weird anti-government point.
Conservatives believe that hierarchical structures are the natural order of things. That is, things on top of the hierarchy deserve to be there, because otherwise they’d be at the bottom. Conservatism as a political philosophy requires the belief that some people are just better than others.
A belief that a strong government is required to enforce equality in the population is nothing like that.
Progressivism is the other side of that coin, a belief that we need strong hierarchy with the “right people” at the top to have a functioning society. It’s the same basic idea that we either need or deserve strong leadership.
For some reason those two are being pitched at the only valid ideas, probably because those at the top benefit from people believing that. There are other ideas, they just don’t have that “quick solution” people seem to crave that only comes from top down control.

How in the hell is wanting strong regulations the same thing as believing in racial suppremacy?
Also there are endless examples of countries with strong regulations and more than two parties
I didn’t say it was. I said it’s a similar fetish for hierarchy, just a different kind.
