You may get the occasional good leader in a bloodline, but you'll more often get a petty tyrant. Because of our history of being a former British colony ruled from afar by a tyrannical king and noble class, the idea of such exalted classes is repugnant to the American egalitarian ethos, and was scrupulously avoided from the outset. The ruling hierarchy of the noble classes was replaced by one of democratically elected classes at all levels of government, and gradually extended by private economic development to include business tycoons, celebrities, and other groups deemed worthy at various phases of America's social evolution. Obviously, the worthiness of some of these groups should be re-examined in hindsight.

The reason right-wingers adopt the language of so-called liberals or progressives is that they fear being shamed or "cancelled" for voicing opinions that may be regarded as bigoted. Insofar as adopting the language of the opposition is a tacit endorsement of the opposing ideology, the right continually allows the left to frame the public conversation.

What you say about exercising one's right to land ownership is true. Private property is the bedrock of individual liberty, as well the foundation of conservatism as developed by Edmund Burke and others, and as we know it today. Right-wingers need to educate themselves about the roots and fundamental principles of conservatism, rather than waste their energy reacting to whatever madness the left throws out there from day to day - and it's always gonna be something. By dancing like puppets to the left wing's tune, right-wingers make of themselves the very caricatures of conservatism that the left has drawn.

Hereditary Nobility is easily solved by Chieftainship familial bonds.  In Uganda my TribesMen have many children so that each generation will have Clan Elders from whom Clan Elders have a Clan Head and a Village Chief chosen among them, Sometimes we elect a Village Chief outside the Clan but Clan Head always has to be a Blood Relative. We kept these traditions since 1600BC when we settled in Uganda. In my Ugandan Tribe we have Clans, Clan Elders, family Heirs and Clan members. My father and uncles were to be made the next generation of Clan Elders after my Grandfather who was a Village Chief at the time passed away unfortunately my father did not get the chance to fulfil his role as a Clan Elder because he died some years after before his uncle (my Grandfather's younger brother) did & neither did my Uncles because they passed too. This means roles of Clan Elders falls to my Generation, my father and Uncles were boomers but my cousins and I are Millenials, my older cousins are Genz . We already chosen our Family Heirs now our Clan Elders are to be chosen among myself and my many cousins.
