Consider who is teaching them. Seems like libs flock to teaching and the media where they can push agenda's on people who dont know any better.

I don't even think that's a liberal vs conservative thing... it seems like a whacko subset of people that, in response to the polarization of the American political system over the years, are now advocating giving a single individual all the power? Its a nice thought when its your guy in charge... but when it isnt? They forget our roots, and the fact that, well, you can't just create a royal family  And saying countries with monarchies have strong economies is lazy analysis IMO. Many of those monarchies are also in the Middle East where there's also a distinct lack of personal freedoms, and only look good due to oil money. Now, if we're talking about particular parts of a monarchist government, like a more powerful Congressional body and more of a simply head of state Executive, I could get behind that. I believe that's closer to what our founding fathers intended, prior to recent Executive overreach. |

I'll dumb it down even more; I'd bet there's a high percentage of them who have watched Game of Thrones and literally have seen depictions of what happens in monarchies. Come the fuck on!!!! |
