I'm not a royalist but if I was to make an observation, none of the countries with Kings are as big of a shit pile as the US has been for decades

@jpm @Ex_spurt well, I mean they have a king *now*, they're just not used to ignoring their royalty like everyone else...

@neoluddite @jpm they voted for him so he's not king.

'No Kings' is doubling down on the myth that they fixed all this last time by getting rid of George III. The fantasy that their war of independence achieved some wide spread freedom which is clearly an ahistorical crock of shit.

@Ex_spurt @jpm they voted for him, but he's a king now, or trying to be

@neoluddite @jpm just had a quick check. I can't find a single King that he seems to be modelling himself on 😁 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_current_monarchs_of_sovereign_states

@jpm @neoluddite Oh yeah, anyone can pull a bad king from history Joel. I could probably name a serial killer mid-wife that resembles Trump but no one's doing a 'no midwifes' protest, are they?

Cromwell was the worst ruler the poms ever came up with and he pointedly wasn't a king #NotAllKings

@Ex_spurt @neoluddite don’t give USA-Americans ideas, they’re already threatening pediatricians instead of pedophiles
