Not necessarily. There are some democracies and republics that I would never live in, such as the People's Republic of California, or most European democracies.
But I would never under any circumstances live in a place where the head of state was a monarch who held real power and acquired that power by birthright. If said person attempted to rule the United States, I would join the long line of people waiting to put a bullet in his head.
The United States Peoples' Republic of America is far more abusive of your natural rights than King George III ever dreamt of ... and has legalized the murder of far more innocent people than Stalin ever managed.
All under the auspices of our sainted and all-holy Constitution.
You, right now, have a president (who may have been elected illegally, but the courts don't seem to care) more abusive of your rights than any historical monarch ... what are you "lined up" to do about it, and what do you think the odds of success are?
Looks to me like some folks are willing to suffer any abuse, so long as it's "democratic".
Doesn't seem very "enlightened", or "rational" to me.
