[–] ThePyroPython@lemmy.world 51 points 2 years ago (3 children) A God given right to enforce laws over the public at their own whims? So... Like a Monarchy and court of the throne? How deliciously un-american of the Ohio Republicans. If they'd like to join into a monarchical society, why not rejoin the Ol' British Empire as a Colony? Shall we get the band back together on a mission from god? All you have to do is kneel before the king. So... Go on then... Kneel. (/S if you couldn't tell, fuck the Monarchy) permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] intelisense@lemm.ee 11 points 2 years ago They might be disappointed with some of King Charles' opinions, especially when it comes to the environment.
