All traditionalists share a few hallmark traits. Among them are traditional morals, a burning desire for government reform, and a strong distaste for progressive societal values. As with any sect, though, sub-stereotypes exist. In traditionalists circles, there are five types of people. Not a single traditionalist doesn’t fit into one of these boxes. (Or at least, that’s how it seems. Could it be possible that sticking everyone into a box doesn’t capture the whole person?)
What are these types? And how does each stand out as unique?
1. The hipster traditionalist. The hipster traditionalist takes the most pride in his anemoia (nostalgia for a time long gone). Often, he feels he has been born in the wrong century. He spends much of his time at home, and he isn’t frequently out in public. When he does wander outside the house, he usually sports thick-rimmed glasses and gazes pensively out of a coffee shop window. He might wear his favorite button-down vest, don a newsboy cap, and carry his well-thumbed G.K. Chesterton book along with him.
With this, the hipster traditionalist has a taste for the finer things in life, like aged wine and a good pipe. Don’t mistake his contemplative manner for a wandering soul, though: He hides a strong moral compass under that tweed coat, as well as a cutthroat encyclopedic memory for anything involving J.R.R. Tolkien.
2. The homeschooling traditionalist. The homeschooling traditionalist is perhaps the easiest to identify, often because she is followed by a posse of well-behaved children. At least four accompany her out and about to farmer’s markets and libraries during regular school hours. more here
My take on this is that there is no such thing as a “progressive”. There are only COMMUNISTS, all of them trying to disguise themselves as anything other than communists. I hate all of them.
Irregardless, all of these types are fast becoming obsolete if the illegal Biden administration and the illigrants have their way…🤔🤗😅
Traditionalists need to up our game…I’m thinking the Targaryen approach to politics.
So people keep treating me like a child and I am quite fed up with it.
There, there, Noah. How about I get you a niiiice cookie?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Was this supposed to be humor? Because it isn’t humorous.
My dryer stole more of my socks.
Political traditionalist supports Trump and a monarchy? Pfft. Sounds like a leftist paper making sly fun of conservatives.
Several traditionalists have argued that traditionally, traditionalists supported the traditional Constitution (in spite of its several wording flaws) with strict, traditional interpretation. However, in my lifetime, I’ve hardly EVER witnessed such traditional behavior by ANY politician or political body.
Instead, most legislation, campaigning and political punditry is wrapped in Marxist flavorings and prevarications, even by Republican ‘traditionalists.’
So, I don’t think I’m a traditionalist. Rather, I am a strict, hey! let’s start-over and get it right this time! Constitutionalist.
And BTW – to hell in a hand basket with the ‘United States Corporation’!

I am hoping that you used “Irregardless” as a funny… I think it means “not without no regard”. I had an English teacher in high skrewl that used the word every day and it grated my nerve then….
