Been 3 years and I still think about this from time to time. Sooooo many boohoos over a monarchist 🙄

    Formerly, there’d be an outpouring like JFK if it was dramatic enough, but no pomp and circumstance on the scale of the Queen.

    Now? It would be a shitshow divided by party affiliation :/

      Scale it considering that a president is appointed for 4 years, a monarch for life. Overall, I don’t find it weird that people need time to mourn when their political system gets a good shake…

        What shake? UK didn’t even had a small succession crisis, not even a tiny civil war
