A political wound festering with a dictator(monarchy).. for centuries..

can cause loss of life.. as well as lifestyles..
The UK is still trying to pick up monarchy by the clean end..

Monarchy is nothing to be proud of.. Mob Rule by mobsters..

Thomas Paine has many choice words on the folly of hereditary monarchy in Common Sense.

One of his attacks on George III seems especially relevant to the current President:

"As he has shewn himself such an inveterate enemy to liberty, and discovered such a thirst for arbitrary power, is he, or is he not, a proper man to say to these colonies, "You shall make no laws but what I please."
