    A God given right to enforce laws over the public at their own whims?

    So… Like a Monarchy and court of the throne?

    How deliciously un-american of the Ohio Republicans.

    If they’d like to join into a monarchical society, why not rejoin the Ol’ British Empire as a Colony?

    Shall we get the band back together on a mission from god?

    All you have to do is kneel before the king.

    So… Go on then… Kneel.

    (/S if you couldn’t tell, fuck the Monarchy)

      They might be disappointed with some of King Charles’ opinions, especially when it comes to the environment. But, you know, God given right and all that!

        That’s pretty much the only connotation the rest of the world thinks about that word. Until political news from Washington happens because of US-defaultism.

      Even the British Empire, at its height, was a Constitutional Monarchy and there were things the King simply could not do.

      Republicans are more of a “L’ etat, c’est moi” kind of governance.
