I fear the giving mankind a dependence on anything for support in age or sickness, besides industry and frugality during youth and health, tends to flatter our natural indolence, to encourage idleness and prodigality, and thereby to promote and increase poverty, the very evil it was intended to cure.
— Benjamin Franklin

Democrats cry “No Kings” and, if you look at they behavior and rhetoric, they sort of mean it. They don’t want a King when they chose a Ohemaa or Rani – day, date, time, and audience determine whether she and/or they identify Kamala as Ghanaian or Tamil – rule instead.
Honestly, to a large extent, this is the core of their collective meltdown and growing violent insurrection. Democracy, in this case the democratic process of voting in a POTUS, utterly failed them and deprived them of the ruler they wanted to place over us.
This is the greatest irony and unself-aware shitshow of our current times. All the “king,” “Dictator,” “Authoritarian,” “Fascist,” “Nazi,” Threat to Democracy” crap drooling out of the maws of Democrat politicians, and the “Mostly Peaceful” protests and such that are happening are only happening because they’re lying through their teeth… or are too mentally unstable to be allowed to participate in the political process.
If President Trump decided he was King, Dictator, or otherwise the sole authority over America, Democrat politicians, especially Schumer and Jeffries, would already be dead or imprisoned somewhere. A number of overbearing judges certainly would be.
Oh, and if even 3% (2.39 million) of the 77+ million Americans who elected President Trump were racist, bigoted, fascist cultists, few if any Democrats would say a word, much less protest, occupy, and otherwise try their best to disrupt our nation. Most of them would simply quietly cower and a few – again about 3% – would either be dead or incarcerated.
But no. President Trump is in no way a King and the American people aren’t fascist cultists of his. That and only that is why Democrat politicians feel safe to call him thus and goad their subordinates into political upheaval and violence. They live with great privilege, privilege no longer enjoyed even in the UK, and misuse it every chance they get.
