I can’t imagine it doing much. I guess people felt good that they aren’t alone, but Republicans will continue to ignore the Constitution, and the apathetic majority will probably continue to not vote.
Just look at all the people acting like the problem’s already solved. No problem this serious, caused by such greedy and hateful people, EVER gets solved without great violence. Even if it’ll be largely self defense from us, this problem is nowhere near solved at all.
Some of the people on the right have been waiting decades to get to this point. A lot of them spent most of their lives trying to make this happen. We can only hope the other side has these types of people as well, because it is going to take years of dedication to possibly get out of where we are now. I can only hope.
Americans don’t understand what a King is, or how monarchy fits into a modern democracy.
It doesn’t. That’s why. Being the descendent of those who had power to kill anyone who disagreed with their claim of “divine right” and getting a special title for it is directly opposed to democracy.
King Charles doesn’t have this power in a constitutional monarchy.
He does have the power to dissolve parliament, immense wealth, as well as physical and financial security not enjoyed by the general population. And this is granted not by merit nor democracy but, because his ancestors had the resources to kill anyone who thought that they weren’t granted the right to rule over everyone by their god. And his uncle was even a big fan of Hitler, which was covered up for decades.
Monarchies of any sort are fundamentally unjust power structures that are relics of a bygone era with no business existing in modern times.
As a Canadian watching in horror, is this going to change anything?

Only if it’s a springboard for more.
If they all go home and do nothing more the country is sunk.

Probably not. It makes the Americans feel good though.
We Canadians have a king. We don’t have the issues these losers have. Not having a king isn’t the issue here.
Neh fuck the monarchy too!
Americans don’t understand what a King is, or how monarchy fits into a modern democracy. What they mean is “No Dictators”.
It doesn’t. That’s why. Being the descendent of those who had power to kill anyone who disagreed with their claim of “divine right” and getting a special title for it is directly opposed to democracy.
I’m the sense of a modern democracy, you are talking about a dictator.

He can’t dissolve parliament without a request from the prime minster
