Dumbasses believe that there is such a thing as 'democracy'.

Shit, this is what public school teachers say. From first grade all the way through high school graduation, they tell us "The USA is a 'democratic republic'!" I had never heard the phrase "constitutional republic" until AFTER graduation. The word democracy is thrown around like it's some sacred rite, when it's really a very ugly word that means "mob rule decides what's best for the individual". It's actually a terrifying system to live under, especially if you're surrounded by incompetent people.

The closest system that exists is monarchy. Kings are legitimately representative of their peoples, just ordinary men who happened to be born into royalty. Politicians and those who are hungry for power are not.

It would be nice to have a King to respect and be proud of, IMO
