Someone else recalled the Old Testament. I recall 1 Samuel myself, specifically where Samuel, led by God, told Israel they erred in demanding for a king, and warned of how the king would abuse his abilities (which, of course, ended up happening).

I know we're disillusioned with what looks like the failings of democracy with the manipulation of a population increasingly led on instinctive emotions, but I still wouldn't trade that for the centralized, singular power that people keep trying to implement, to the detriment of the respective populace, in country after country. I'm satisfied with the King I have on the heavenly throne already!

It's a sad day when liberals think they can hire a king.

It's a sad day when Democrats equivocate the Executive Branch with a king.

Public schools have really failed our kids. It feels like a Monty Python skit sometimes.

I appreciate the irony of a guy that would prefer a monarchy who simultaneously is known for creating a decentralized personal server platform.

And I would argue we would be better off under a benevolent monarchy vs what we have now, but you obviously can't know that it would remain benevolent. Thus, it could go sideways pretty quickly.
