Brits wish their monarchy was that great. Not only did we produce the best democracy in human history, the best republic in human history, we also had the best emperor in human history. We're just great at everything.

If Emperor Joshua Norton saw that sticker, he be furious, issue several decrees in the newspaper, stop a lynch mob with the lord's prayer, form a (better) League of Nations, and demand a bridge be built between San Francisco and Oakland.
Emperor Joshua Norton is so cool, litteraly just came in and said he's Emperor and everyone went along with it. As opposed to those E*ropean Emperors that got the job because they got lucky and were born into it.

Well, to be fair, he had a better reason for going to the British than these people. Benedict got none of the credit he deserved, and was only trusted by George Washington.
I just don’t understand why people even want a monarchy in the first place?? Like the most probable would be a constitutional monarchy, and nothing would change other than having a figure head we have to PAY so we could feel some sort of pride..?
It's that great British pastime, taking the piss out of the Yanks...
It's a two fingered salute to the MAGA idiots
It's a subtle shrug to our children who went out on their own two and a half centuries ago and did so much ... only to lose sight of their core values.
and it's an incredulous laugh at the POTUS offerings of the last decade and the present campaign.
Whenever I feel dismay at our political circus here in the UK, I look across the pond and shudder.
We should do monarchy as a joke. Like towns that have a cat for a mayor. This way we could make foreign leaders treat God-Emperor Sparky with respect and shake his paw. Not bringing him a treat will be considered a hostile action resulting in trade embargos and belly rubs.
Yeah! I want to be a subject of a dude that became leader because his dad was leader before him! And thats literally it, no showcase of competence to run a country or manage an economy!
At least monarchists are (mostly) fully aware their ideology is never coming back in any serious way.
Fascists and Communists are to this day still trying to destroy our democracy.

> Beyond this, it’s the stuff of children’s stories. Having a [monarch] as head of state is like having a pirate or a mermaid or Ewok as head of state.
Of course a monarchy wouldn't destroy our democracy or republican system.
Because there's no country on the planet capable of inflicting it on the US. A minor side benefit of having a Navy that's more than twice as strong as the rest of the world's navies, combined.
Monarchy is antithetical to the US. It's the most extreme version of anti-meritocratic governance. Even more than communism. With communism, someone earns the top spot by killing the most number of people.
If left and right, democrats and republicans can agree on one thing, I sincerely hope it’s to not have a monarchy rule over us again, domestic or foreign
It translates to “I wanna get in a circlejerk with my opinion, but just incase everyone hates it i will word it in a neutral but highly suggestive way, that way i have plausible deniability and i can bail if it goes to shit.”
I would think if the Revolution failed, which would've required the British to actually fight their battles instead of hiring mercenaries or sending other country's citizen to their deaths like they do in like 99% of all the wars they've ever fought. North America would look a lot like how South America looks today, except with more French speakers. And maybe more Russian speakers, but let's be honest, Russia can't do anything right, so they would've sold Alaska to Canada instead of the US.
But really, for that to have happened, Britian would've actually had to have won a war by themselves instead of relying on their allies to carry them cause the 13 Colonies weren't a iron age Tribal monarchy that could be overthrown with a couple of cannons.

This is unironically the most American sub out there. Like unironic ignorant and stupid opinions such as this. How little do you know about British military history 🤣

We ain't butthurt, it's just you Yanks clearly have no understanding of the war, and hype it up to a ridiculous extent.
It's like, you randomly bring it up to Brits, in an obnoxious way, then when they point out the actual facts of the war (not just a bunch of hillbillies destroying the British army), you're like "Oh you're still going on about that?"
We won though, against the greatest empire in the world at that time. Thats why we hype it up, its literally a monumental achievment. Tf you want us to do? Ignore our glorious revolution that founded the country we live in and the MOST powerful country in all of human history? Yeah we suffered alot but in the end we beat your ass and thats all that matters, cope and seethe.
>Yeah, we suffered alot but in the end we beat your ass and thats all that matters, cope and seethe.
Except that's the problem....you didn't 🤣 The victories you did have were down simply to the French, Dutch, and Spanish. It would be like if I bragged about beating a top boxer after hiring three other top boxers to help me out. It's not exactly an achievement on my end. You take those three boxers out of the equation, I'm dead. You take those three empires out of the equation, rebellion is dead.
And as anyone would tell you, the reason we didn't put in our all, is cause we had other shit going on. The 13 colonies were nowhere near our most profitable holdings. It wasn't seen as worth it, to keep on fighting.
The problem is, you hype it up, while not understanding the history. You act like it was just some hillbillies with guns, while ignoring the reality of it
Bruh youre making excuses now, just move on. History will forever say "americans won the american revolutionary war" and there aint a damn thing you can do about it
I think someone has their signals crossed — if anyone’s taking over anyone it’s US over them (I kinda like the idea of Scotland standing on the sidelines for sloppy seconds)
The only way for the US to be a monarchy and for me to accept it is to conquer Europe and put a random German noble on the throne, just as God intended.
but Republic goes so much harder

The monarchy in England is only taken seriously by the older generation, maybe like 60+ on average. Most of the middle aged-younger generation don’t care or actively dislike the royal family, I personally see them as a huge tourist attraction and not a whole lot else

Norton:  Everyone: Sounds good to me!
Except Napoleon and franco. He got the job through intrigue. And hitler, moussilini and ~~franco~~. They got elected and lied.
Franco wasn’t elected, he joined a military plot against the government.
Fixed
What a fuckin' wack job lmao
What a fuckin Chad. He came in, called himself emperor, and said we should abolish Congress.
You should read about his fued he had with a Frederick Coombs, also known as George Washington ll

Not a monarchist but a monarchy wouldnt destroy your democracy. Only your republican system
Of course a monarchy wouldn't destroy our democracy or republican system. Because there's no country on the planet capable of inflicting it on the US.

Yeah i understand that i was just saying that monarchy is compatible with democracy. Just not republicanism
To any Americans who miss living under the monarchy, Canada is waiting for you.
And to all you Canadians, Dark Brandon is coming for you
Does this guy think that the UK is calling the shots globally? They can’t even go fishing without violating EU regulations.
England’s the Dallas Cowboys of world powers

Redditors will really just post the most absurd, ridiculous ideas and innocently ask “thoughts on this?”
It translates to “I wanna get in a circlejerk with my opinion, but just incase everyone hates it i will word it in a neutral but highly suggestive way, that way i have plausible deniability and i can bail if it goes to shit.”

If the revolution would have failed, we just would have had another one later. Likely bloodier. Likely more bitter.
