    I think his plan would be to try to take it over and become king somehow?

    Charles, fwiw, I feel like this situation is so unprecedented that you could very feasibly let him try, and then just whack his head off at some point with a fuckoff huge claymore and remark disdainfully that “his life was an insult to Our Throne and Empire”, then everyone would nod and agree, and then nip down to the pub for a pint.

      Look, no disrespect to King Chuck, but he could no more swing a claymore to any effect than Trump could string together a coherent argument.

        All I mean to say is that if he did something monarchic that ultimately resulted in orangeboi’s cranial region losing acquaintance with his neck and torso, I would not be upset by such a development.

        I think the clumsy wielding and erroneous chopping would make for an even more entertaining decapitating, but it may require for Trump to be properly tied or chained to something sturdy.

        Side Shower Thought: any form of capital punishment of Trump may make the English King popular again after give or take 250 years, what a celebration and historic moment that would be!

        We were for 200 years, but then Nixon happened, and instead of fixing it, we doubled down with Reagan, then instead of fixing that we got here.

          Civil war happened, and we didn’t fix it because Lincoln was assassinated, and Andrew Johnson was pro-South.

          We were on this path before Nixon.

              Correct me if I’m wrong, but haven’t we just experienced the results of enemies within? Trump, Vance, and Musk are all American citizens.

                  Maybe we should appeal to engagement and voting along with vigilance so that the enemies from within don’t find a malleable minority to exploit for victory.

    I mean, go ahead. It’d be funny for America to join what they fought so hard in the 18th century to leave.

    America’s founding fathers are rolling in their graves.

    How well would US Xian nationalists (Christofascists) get along with the CoE? Is the latter, like the former, actively attempting to acquire absolute power over social matters in their country? Would the two be of like minds w/respect to doctrine?
