He was a complicated man, and wouldn’t fit neatly into contemporary politics in the USA.

That said, he was a supporter of the aristocracy (being a member himself), and stated that the reason France went through a revolution was not because aristocracy failed, but the aristocrats failed their aristocracy. (Same argument the GOP uses today about conservatism, it can’t fail, it can only be failed.)

He supported the idea of American Independence rather than punishing the USA for rebellion. His idea was that the colonies would be far more pliant and controllable through the very profitable bank interest rates the United Kingdom would still get than any sort of retribution for rebellion.

He opposed the slave trade and thought anyone who enslaved people should not be allowed to sit in Parliament.

None of which, as far as I can see, has anything to do with what I said. Still not understanding your question.
