When I hear about the coup attempt in Germany & the desire of these violent extremists to insert Prince Heinrich XIII of Reuss as the leader after a planned execution of the German chancellor, it sounds ludicrous, laughable. But that's the thing: These people are deadly serious.

Because the plots of these anti-democratic extremists often seem so ludicrous, they can succeed because the public--& too many leaders--don't take them seriously enough. This tendency is how Trump got as far as he did.

Democracy is a terrible form of government. It means 51% can take away the rights of 49%, and is unjust toward rural communities.

I think monarchies are based, if the king is a just and righteous man that fears God, like the great King James of England in the 1600s.

Also only male property owners that pay taxes should be allowed to vote, we really fucked up allowing women and poor people the right to vote because they can be bribed and emotionally manipulated.

This is the post that's getting me blocked by at least 5 people today. This is some kind of sacred cow of society, voting rights. Honestly, I think men should only be in power, and men that are experienced in life, here in my state elected some old Karen as a congresswomen and she literally spent 100k of taxpayer dollars on renovating the furniture and other things in her office. We have come soooo far from the founding fathers idea of civil servants, we have winebox cat-moms in office obsessing over decor and ignoring important things.
