Moar like dumbocracy amirite?
You let the sheep pick their leaders and they pick people as dumb as they are. Monarchs are directly chosen by God and have divine rule in their blood.
Note that the tacky Duke of Windsor needed to boan some emerekeen divorcee and was properly kicked out of royal rule.
Here is the only royal that I am aware of in the US.

Elections. Meh.

Democracy in a suit - shiny tie, bland, designed by committee, dull, unsleeves -

Monarchy in a suit: 2 parts style, 1 part balls -

Democracy thinks it looks good. It is wrong -

Monarchy: Just too damn stylish -

[Russell Street]

Democracy can't afford pocket linen. Or two breasts.

Or even stripes.

Presidents only get that one boring uniform. It doesn't even have a hat!

Hey presidents and prime minister, do you have any medals? None?

Babies instinctively know monarchy is better. It takes years of indoctrination in government schools to turn them into democracy drones. Democrats hate children:

Monarchy + baby = happiness all round (and impeccable style) -

Democracy + baby = disaster -

 

[Algernon Crisp]

Animals understand.

Monarchy loves animals, and animals love monarchy. This hound understands the Prince is genuinely kindly, and also is possibly attracted by his impeccable pomtz:

Whereas animals shy away from Democracy, knowing Democracy's interest is feigned and insincere. In reality, Democracy hates animals because their coats are beautiful and their hearts are pure:

Even Tyranny loves animals more than Democracy:

Wouldn't it be more fair to make a comparison between Hillary and a recent photo of Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall (I'd still prefer Camilla), alternatively between Di and Hillary in her youthful prime? (Yeah, Di would still be better, but Hillary wasn't bad at all in the early days.) I have a couple of things over Clinton: I did much better at Oxford than he, and I have a much better looking wife (who is a close contemporary of Hillary). I've also had cooler dogs, but that could be more subjective.

Interesting to learn that Hillary wasn't that bad many years ago. How has she got so twisted and repulsive? Is it evil writ upon her countenance, like a kind of opposite to Dorian Grey's portrait?

One man risks restoring old school royal excess to this mob-ruled wasteland.

Maybe it's the anger and bitterness over her husband's relentless cheating down through the years that have etched themselves on her face...but she endured all the philandering and scandal because her alliance with Bill has brought her ever nearer that which she most craved: POWER!

Good thing about democracy - you get free shoes.
Bad thing about democracy - you collect them one at a time, and may not end up with a matched pair.

How there can be a thread about monarchy without discussion of a true king

The King of Dhaka.

This man can afford all the breasts.

Oh shit, he's invading.

 

[Thruth]

HE IS NOT A REAL KING!!!

HE IS A CAPTAIN OF INDUSTRY!!!

DON'T MAKE ME DO A THREAD COMPARING THE KING TO AGNELLI. THE KING NEEDS TO WEAR HIS VINTAGE WATCHES OVER HIS SHIRT CUFFS TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY.

Democratically elected workwear:

Maybe it's the anger and bitterness over her husband's relentless cheating down through the years that have etched themselves on her face...but she endured all the philandering and scandal because her alliance with Bill has brought her ever nearer that which she most craved: POWER!

No idea where I heard the following joke, but:
In 1998, Bill and Hillary were driving through Illinois and stopped for gas. Hillary does a double take as she realizes she used to date the gas station attendant. She relayed this realization to her husband who smirked, quipping: "if you'd married him, imagine where you'd be right now." Hillary replies "I'd be living in the White House as First Lady."
