If you don't find advocacy of the supreme hereditary rule of a family over free men to be anti-American you really have no idea what it means to be American.

Your delusion is as anti-American as those who would advocate that we follow Communism or Sharia law.

“Human rights can only be assured among a virtuous people. The general government . . . can never be in danger of degenerating into a monarchy, an oligarchy, an aristocracy, or any despotic or oppressive form so long as there is any virtue in the body of the people.” George Washington

Monarchy and an aristocracy is, to our AMERICAN founder, synonymous with a despotic and oppressive form of government - and only suited to rule a degenerate people without virtue.

You sir, lack the virtue that would make a man free; and instead would treat Americans like the degraded degenerates only fit to be ruled by their betters. That may be an apt assessment of your own proclivities - and I know not what course others may take; but for myself...

“Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!” Patrick Henry

Yes, I agree. Their historical experience was such. But, I think, very little remains today of their work.
