If the US became a monarchy?

[Arumdaum]

Americans wouldn't take too kindly to having a family that is legally better than everyone else.

Kinda goes against "all men are created equal" (at least before the law).

Americans are already fine with numerous violations against that principle.

Sort of. Like most cultures, our definition of what we consider man has evolved.

I would pick a descendant of Alexander Hamilton.

[Indira]

What would be the point? I mean, you'd have a constitutional monarchy with no real power or history.

[Wind in the Willows]

Id be king......

No, you would not.

[Calimera II]

No it isn't.

[Distruzio]

I would pick a descendant of Alexander Hamilton.

Why? There are plenty of other families that hold to his ideals yet maintain actual political recognition and authority in the nation today. Why the Hamilton line?

This on NSGBC News Night: Apparently, almost 30% of NSG desires the United States to become a monarchy. 'Muricans all go whuuut? This poll is known to be accurate within a 36-point margin, 1 out of 1 times. Its founder also claims that 9% of participants found jumping off a giant Kleenex box into a giant jar of lime pickle sauce a good idea in the case of this event. Needless to say, the seriousness of such statements is doubted.

In all truth though, I really didn't expect this. Methinks there may be a few joke votes. I myself took the neutral option.

Yeah, that argument could be made. After all, who really wants to give their king a parking ticket?

[Aquafireland]

LOL at the last choice.

Anyways, I can't really see the USA as a monarcy. I actually shudder at the thought. Seriously, I don't even think the government would be even that powerful as they are now. Does anyone here see the US into a monarchy normal?

[Southern Babylonia]

No it isn't.

What isn't what?

[The Godly Nations]

I would support an American Monarchy given that, as I have stated elsewhere, I am a Statist, a Reactionary, and an Absolute Monarchist.

[Resora]

You'd see a violent reaction against monarchy. Republicanism is too deeply ingrained in the American consciousness. Hell, the Revolution is generally (inaccurately) portrayed as a revolt against an oppressive king, a war celebrated every year by blowing stuff up.

That's pretty damn funny when you put it like that.

I have actually thought that this is what we need here. For too long now we have elected the same kind of person to the Office. And year after year after year, the same stupid issues keep coming up. We need to either elect a real person to office. I mean not a politician or a millionair. A real down to earth person. Or we need to elect a King and give him/her total control. That's my opinion on this subject.

[Olthar]

If America does become a monarchy, y'all better elect me queen.

[Jamjai]

I will throw apples at him/her whoever got elected and I will keep throwing apples at him/her

[Shnercropolis]

This is a good idea. I've been silently advocating for the US to join the Commonwealth of Nations for awhile now.

I do so swear. If they refuse, I shall take a schooner and a maple syrup cannon and subdue them to thy holy rule.

[Blazedtown]

There would be a really good show called Presidents and it will get canceled after one season because of the network is fucked in the head.

[Terra Sector Union]

George Washington is the immortal god-emperor. His death was a fake. He's secretly controlling the senate and congress all along.


If US became a monarchy, I wouldn't really care.

[Constaniana]

If America does become a monarchy, y'all better elect me queen.

Of course, Penis Queen.

[Minarchist States]

I would support a libertarian monarchist king, but other than that I don't think the US will ever be.

[Mercatorum]

This reminds me of the book "the two Georges"...

Anyway, i can envision the US (possibly with the name changed to "The Union of North America", or "The Commonwealth of North America") becoming very similar in terms of government to Australia, with the President being replaced with a Governor-General, and executive power given to the Prime-Minister. Of course the only monarch that i can imagine for the UNA is the Queen of Great Britain, Ireland, and many other places.

[Mizrah]

I would like one of the following . . .

Al Pacino
Robert De Niro
Jon Stewart

to be King!

[Condunum]

No it isn't.

Wow. So you've gotten so bad at posting on here that you actually fail to even address the title question?
