I definitely wouldn't have guessed this was published in 2021.

Why did Americans get these crazy ideas about monarchies? I am living in a monarchy that's like ten times as democratic as the United States ever was.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago

That's because your monarch probably has very little actual power. The British monarchy (for example) has has their power slowly eroded over there centuries, and have very little influence on policy. There are few monarchies left where the royalty is actively involved in politics.

Trump wants to establish a dictatorship; I don't know that he gives much of a shit about his kids. Dictatorships are rarely hereditary. Someone's going to take exception with the strict definitions here, but: we had to come up with the term "dictator" to represent what monarchs around the world no longer were: absolute rulers, who's word was law.

Vores to hand over all power to republicans.

Complains that democrats don't stop them.

Lol this behavior is exactly why i stopped supporting them. They've repeatedly shown they cant be relied on. I dont feel the need to reward them with anymore votes for bad behavior.

Get your party's politicians in line or deal with the continued erroding support and losses.

The old guard (Sanders exempt) is fucking useless. The young members like AOC and Jasmine Crockett are fucking holding it down. If the octogenarian asshats would just back them up and support them properly shit might work.

The complaint here is that dems don’t do anything, not that they don’t stop reps. Nobody from either party deserves our vote. It’s just for show anyways.

Not super weird that it takes a lot less time to destroy everything.
