Loyalist rhetoric

Loyalist rhetoric refers to the language and arguments used by individuals or groups who remain committed to a specific authority, tradition, or allegiance—such as loyalty to a government, monarch, or country—particularly during times of change or conflict. It often emphasizes themes like duty, order, stability, and patriotism to justify staying loyal, while sometimes opposing or criticizing those seeking reform or independence. This type of rhetoric aims to reinforce allegiance and maintain social cohesion by appealing to shared values and emotional bonds with the established authority or tradition.
