What Democracies are more conservatives than the U.S.?

Hungary.
I think you are correct there. And Poland... Both Nations in serious trouble.
How do you define "conservative?" Democrats can't even define what a woman is, much less run a country.
Correct. We are a Democratic Republic of States with a Constitution that limits the power of the Federal Government.
Nothing says "IRONY" more than a stupid shit calling others dumb shits.

Look at the whole article. Women didn't start getting the vote until the 70's. How far behind that is Switzerland compared to the rest of Europe? You want to turn a trivial objection into ad hominem. Since you didn't know any of that prior to this discussion, how much else don't you know about Switzerland? Your ignorance is on public display.

He went to the Rangoon Correspondence School of Law and associated night classes making him more qualified than 90% of all American attorneys...

There's no way Gayrod could have afforded the postage.

Well, that's a different matter. I'd cancel all of them.
Your ignorance and passion (and profanity) do not change facts. Sorry.
The USA is a Constitutional Republic based on Federalism. Even within our Republic, the various States and Commonwealths that comprise the Republic are REPRESENTATIVE Democracies.
As citizens, we elect representatives to exercise the power(s) of government. Sadly, the folks we elect seem to be lying thieves. That is a problem, but it's a different problem.
Unless one is an elected Representative, we all have an astonishingly limited input into how the USA is governed. If the USA was a Democracy, we would be voting on every decision that is made by government.
We don't. We are NOT a Democracy.
We are not a direct Democracy. We have a Democratic firm of government. You remind me of the pedantic teacher… “I don’t know, CAN you go to the bathroom?”
Correct. We are a Democratic Republic of States with a Constitution that limits the power of the Federal Government.
Very Good!
The intended limitations are being attacked on a daily basis. Ben Franklin said, "We Have Given You A Republic. It Remains To Be Seen If You Will Be Able To Retain It".
Franklin's warning was a predictor of what we have witnessed over the intervening years as the lying thieves, grubbing for power to steal and abuse, continuously chip away at what the Framers gave us.
If the Framers were to come to life today and enter state government as they did in the days of the Revolution, they would likely start another revolution.
All of the Framers knew themselves to be lying thieves and they assumed that the lying thieves around them and the lying thieves who would come after them would be lying thieves who needed to be constrained by a strong and limiting Constitution.
They were right.
We are near to or past the point at which we will soon, or perhaps already have, lost the Republic that Franklin warned us would be difficult to retain.
