    I’m not European. You’ll understand fast enough why many countries do this when the US gets a wannabe king, because the position isn’t taken 😂

      Lmao okay so you’re implying that any State without a monarch is susceptible to someone claiming a nonexistent crown? Like its some sort of natural law like entropy?

      No fam we’ll just kill him

            I really don’t think so. Many of the countries you think of as more democratic have a Monarch as head of State, because it’s understood between the Monarch and the people that if the Monarch steps out of line, the people will recognize it as obvious and kill them.

            A dictator isn’t as obvious and as we see in the US, they change shit under your nose and their end goal isn’t as obvious as a Monarch’s, so many in the population don’t recognize their intentions as being a power grab (sound familiar?). A Monarch undermining democracy is obviously wanting power back, a dictator? Well they could just be “Doing it for the good of the people 🤪”. Most people aren’t stupid enough to fall for a Monarch saying they are grabbing power “For the good of the people”, but are stupid enough to fall for a politician saying this, since they believe a politician is “One of them” (as they ignorantly believe all politicians come from their class; the peasantry). A Monarch was, is and never will be “One of us”, they were obviously never peasants, so less people fall for the BS.
