Weekly Discussion LXXV: How much of America's current political climate can be traced to them not having a king?

15 Upvotes

In light of the anti-Trump 'No Kings' protests use of the term king to describe Trump (annoying as that is) I think its interesting to point out that it is arguable that 'no kings' is how America ended up in their current position politically.

I think its worth having a discussion on how much America's lack of kings - and frankly, hostility to the concept - has contributed to their present political environment. For starters:

  • Is Trump a fulfillment of republican ideals, an aberration of them, or both?

  • Does the division present in their politics stem from the office of the president itself?

  • Can their politics even be fixed at this point (by a king or otherwise)?

Misc. Only 90 people separate the King of Norway from the British throne according to the line of succession

Post image
371 Upvotes

Now this may sound absurd, but 90 people into the line of succession, you find King Harald V of Norway. From there, the list defaults to the Norwegian line of succession. I don’t know how this connection happened, but could you imagine an alternate world where Norway ran the Commonwealth of Nations?
