Trump vs the Squad

This whole identity politics fiasco between Donald Trump and the four congresswomen is yet another argument in favor of an hereditary king.  With elected governments, there is always an ‘us’ vs ‘them’ mentality; there is always a majority and a minority who are at war with one another over who will control the government apparatus.  With a hereditary king, that kind of mindset has no soil in which to put down roots.  The king is the father of all his subjects of whatever background; he owes his position to God’s providence alone, not to the machinations of any political party or special interest group; therefore, he works for the good of all the people.  All the bitter invectives that go along with never-ending political campaigning is rare in the former system, in a monarchy.

Could a king reign over all the States and territories of the current union?  Maybe, if two conditions are met:

--Each cultural region must be given autonomy over its internal affairs; and, closely related to this,

--The Puritan, Lincolnian belief in the exceptional nature of ‘America’ and her mission to the world must be absolutely and utterly renounced as an evil heresy.

Barring that, it is better for each cultural region to go her own way, have her own king, and live according to her own traditions and folkways.  Such arrangements are far more preferable to the un-Christian anger and envy and money squandering which the current electoral system encourages on a massive scale.

Holy Ælfred the Great, King of England, South Patron, pray for us sinners at the Souð, unworthy though we are!

Anathema to the Union!
