    Whoa whoa whoa whoa! Hang on a second. We didn’t elect a king. You don’t elect a king. We elected a dictator.

    There’s a difference.

    Kings are born royalty. This jackass got elected. We CHOOSE him. This is OUR fault. Whereas with kings, nobody chooses them. They’re just born into that role.

      Of course you can elect kings. It’s called elective monarchy, there have been a few of those throughout history.

      I don’t think we did though. Before even one vote was counted he was bragging that the results don’t matter because he has all the votes he needs. He literally announced that he’d rigged an election and nobody did anything about it.

        That’s not true, tons of voters heard that and stayed home to make sure he’d win and be the first republican in decades to win the popular vote.
