His public more and more tends to be royalist. Look at the petitioners that meet him wherever he interacts with the public. They are indistinguishable from 16th century peasants pleading with the king to personally fix their miserable lives. Liberals, at heart, believe in rule by a “Good King.” Remember the elevation of JFK to royalty by the press and the Democrats and the True Royal Family that the Kennedys have become. And as soon as they have their Rightful King, they start agitating for repeal of the two term limit.
Excellent point. Liberals believe in rule by "Holy Mother the Government," personified by some symbolic figure who embodies all that government means to them: gives them their daily bread, heals all their real or imagined wounds, and keeps them from ever having to think or work again.
While they deified Kennedy, I don't think that it was his ambition to be deified and I don't think he viewed himself that way. The difference is that Barry really does see himself as a king; he was delighted by that disgraceful performance in Tampa, with his brain-dead subjects groveling before him asking for largesse from His Majesty.
