    Google Translate for Conservativese:

    LAW ➡️ The exercise of state power, or its agents. e.g. “The law is at the door.”

    ORDER ➡️ Social hierarchy. e.g. This pardon restored order by putting this woman a back in the social hierarchy where a white conservative belongs, rather than at the bottom, under the bootheel of the law, with the brown people.

      100%.

      Law - the whims of the king and his agents regardless of what the written law is. The written law will be ignored or interpreted and then modified retroactively to suit the king’s whims. The law only applies to opponents, critics, outgroups, minorities, and those that can be interpreted as foreign. The king and his sycophants can get away with whatever they want.

      Can’t argue with “Order”.
