Listen, I appreciate you trying to cheer me up and all but isn't the Serbian movement considered a joke or something? The problem I see is that there are plenty of former monarchies with opinion polls having restoration in the teens and twenties percentage wise like Germany, Brazil, Italy, Romania, and Russia while at the same time the organizations that actually try to expand that rather impressive, at least in my opinion, numbers tend to be not taken seriously and are usually associated with the farthest of the far-right.
I don't want to see a 100% monarchist world, just a few additional constitutional monarchies in our current world to have trolls and Republicans quiet down at least a little and realize that there are ways of having stable and sufficient countries. I'd be fine if just between 1-5 nations restored theirs, as long as Italy is one of them because I like their royalist flag and coat of arms. Maybe put Brazil, Romania, Libya, and possibly Russia on that list as well because why not.
Maybe one reason why I don't like presidential republics is that of the division it can create with them rarely having approval ratings above 50% and often times at around just 10% approval, I'd probably be indifferent towards the idea of form of government if this didn't constantly happen just about everywhere I look. Yeah sure some of the political cartoons are very hilarious and I enjoy watching John Oliver and the Late Show with Stephen Colbert and all but in the end, you realize that the person being mocked is still head of state and commander in chief of a military. Now you might have sympathy and respect the office like I once did but it gets old after many repeats.
I honestly don't have a problem with democracy but I hate how it just seems like a popularity contest these days, I can't be the only one with that opinion. Isn't compromising with differing opinions a main feature of democracy? Nowadays, its all about radicalism about refusing to cooperate to get anything done and deadlocks for everyone involved meaning that governments get shut down or reforms don't get carried out in the end, seriously why is shutting down a government a thing in a democracy, to me that just seems like something that a nation like Venezuela could do.
I admit constitutional monarchies could have the same problem but at least the highest office in the land, the king/queen or emperor in Japan's case, isn't actively encouraging it like the president in the nation and that's another reason I admire constitutional monarchies to the point where I consider myself a royalist.
In a way, I appreciate the whole constant worry of opinion polls in current constitutional monarchies because the royal families are constantly trying to fulfill a unifying and stable symbol for the nation while fearing the possibility of getting voted out via referendum and I like that. Republics just don't have that option of doing a new system, just doing a different face each time and that just annoys me for some reason.
