The Rant- The Invisible Crown?

People of questionable character often believe that the United States is ruled by a king, a concept that is not true. They believe in a historical illiteracy that reveals a secret sovereign who dictates policy from a hidden throne room. This belief is based on a self-published narrative involving shadowy lineage, ancient covenants, and a secret sovereign. They rally under banners proclaiming resistance to this invisible monarch, demanding the deposition of a ruler who exists solely in fringe websites and their own conviction. However, this spectacle is absurd, as the United States already had a fight against a monarch, George III of Great Britain, in the late 18th century. The American Revolution was a fundamental rejection of inherited power, and the Constitution is a monument to mistrust of centralized authority. The phantom King persists in the imagination of questionable characters due to the seductive simplicity of the secret narrative. Real governance is messy, complex, and often frustratingly slow, making it easier to believe that all failure, injustice, and perceived societal decay can be traced back to a single, evil ruler.
