But Queen Elizabeth was not “former” queen. What would happen if a President would die (of natural causes) on the job?
The current one? Parties in the streets!
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
I support the death of who ever is the president of America
