>>Perhaps this is the same impulse that has driven monarchies throughout history.

Constitutional monarchies, like the UK’s, don’t seem so bad. William, Kate and their kids look like decent people who have been trained to empathize about people whose lives are not as comfortable as their own.

It’s tyrannies you have to worry about, when minorities are driven over and not given a chance at trying their policies out in practice. Alternating policies that can be tried, abandoned, and other policies tried are less likely to cause long term harm. Natural corrections built in. Like the way we reacted to Obama with Trump.

As for Trump, et al, absolutely adore them. If there was a fandom, I’d be a premiere Trumpster with a lifetime ticket on the Trump Train and an IMMENSE photo of him hanging in my library.

Oh, I am. And the photo is.

On #Zelensky: When @POTUS @realDonaldTrump asks him to investigate @JoeBiden, he indicates he regards it as legitimate, even imperative, for law enforcement: “The investigation of the case is actually the issue of making sure to restore the honesty so we will take care of that.”

I have no problem with constitutional monarchies. In fact, due to a country's history as well as the realities on the ground, they may be superior to other forms of government.

I just think adults should regard all those in high places with something just below contempt.

Yay Festival!!! We can talk about anything we want!
