I feel like this is an extremely unpopular opinion but I really don't think republicanism was a step forward for humanity.
Monarchy is the most intuitive form of government. People tend to take care of what they own, and politicians have no incentive to leave anything better for the next generation because they really have no stake in their country. Their legacy dies with them.
A monarchy with constitutional (and familial) checks and balances is vastly preferable to a republic where the foreign interests run free and loot the taxpayers. It's pure and much simpler. No Congress, no Supreme Court, no ridiculous sham elections. Everyone knows who's in charge and what the rules are.
Wut? Monarchy be like: "I am your ruler, because I have a special entitlement gifted to me by my rich and powerful mommy and daddy. And, that is all the ability and merit I need."
If you really like the idea of those kinds of inbred spoiled brats making all the rules for you, there are a number of countries on the planet that may accept you to become their peasant.
{edit2} I forgot to add "inbred"
🙈 it's inbred
History bears witness
Republic of Venice - 1000 years of history, elected monarchy, very stable & prosperous
America - 250 years, already ruled by bankers & pedofiles
The Republic of Venice was considered to be a parliamentarian republic, not a monarchy.
Republic just means 'the public affairs' or the rule of law. Monarchies with constitutions, civil code, criminal code etc. are also Republics. The Republic of Venice was mixed regime and had a parliament or sorts (like England) but it was ruled by a Monarch, i.e. the Doge. This is to distinguish it from monarchs of the more absolute sort like in England. America is also somewhat mixed regime but the monarchical aspect is extremely toned down in a 4-year / 2-term Presidency and the Democratic aspect is more strongly expressed. The Doge's term was for life.
Venice was a religious police state. There were drop boxes all over the city where anyone could leave anonymous statements accusing anyone of anything illegal, and they would be clapped into prison on the basis of an anonymous note, across the Bridge of Sighs into an oubliette.
A stoolies paradise.
That's fine. But let's not fool ourselves into thinking that the old-world monarchists, and their old-world money isn't behind most of the problems that America has today. For example, IDGAF about Duke Ferdinand, and I know damn good and well that the British monarch sunk the Lusitania with a false-flag attack.
