Comment on Is this a c/ for making fun of conservatives?
Drivebyhaiku@lemmy.world 1 week agoYou know those are constitutional monarchies right? Their monarchs have effectively less political power than the American President by far and at best hold a symbolic role of paper stamper.
Also they have a solid history of axing them when they overstep (sometimes literally), and bringing their successors back on with further reduced function in government. These days they are basically just overpayed legacy mascots that have lucrative longstanding contracts…
Maybe America should follow suit with the rest of Europe, depose their Mad Kings and make them actual civil servants accountable to the people or just kooky sock puppets to entertain the masses with. It would be a nice change.

But Trump isn’t going to be king

He already is dipshit. American democracy is old as fuck compared to the rest of the world and an American president has undemocratic levels of power compared to most other democracies. Biden and every other President before him was also a King they just played by the expectations not to act like one.
Your system is crumbling old ass garbage half written in archaic obsolete law language. A Democracy beta test written by people who still saw the role of monarch as nessisary. The world moved on from your system a hundred years ago because they unlike you lot didn’t mythologize the writers of their documents as Gods of creation and you lot had your heads so far up your own asses you never noticed the joke you were becoming. It might have been cute once but now it’s just fucking sad.

So Trump is a king now? When did this happen. Where are the news articles proclaiming this?

You didn’t read what I wrote huh? Alright. I will keep it short so you can keep up.
It’s not Trump.
It’s every American President since the beginning. They just used to have to pretend it wasn’t true.
It’s time to grow up and become a real democracy like the rest of us.
