How is a democracy where the populace is largely ignorant and apathetic, and where the politicians only care about their own power any worse than monarchies?

I sometimes feel this isn’t any worse than an absolute monarchy. Congress and the presidency isn’t any worse than Rome under the Julio-Claudian dynasty or France under the Bourbons.

I’ve been reading this for 2 days and cannot catch up.

After the moslems conquer and overrun Europe, it will be obvious that the secularist democrats won’t be able to drive them out and restore civilization.

A French king makes sense. Would there be anybody else left in France to do the job? The Buddhists perhaps?

“France has over two hundred Buddhist meditation centers, including about twenty sizable retreat centers in rural areas.”
