I actually said pretty much this same thing to one of the unhinged leftists

Her face flushed with rage and she stuck her middle finger in my face and

Whataboutism noted.
Does anyone else remember leftists wishing Obama were a King?
Absolutely. I said it during the first "No Kings" hippie rally-- leftists >> very
much *do* want a king. Just one that's down with their agenda.

Although I'm not the Liberal you repeatedly insist I am (who *could*
be?), I don't personally recall any longing to coronate Obama. More to
the point, it's clear that, unlike Trump, Obama would turn it down...
No kings!
But I want the government to control healthcare, education, and
transportation. Give me government grocery stores, give me universal basic income. Tell me what I am and am not allowed to say. Confiscate all the guns. Tell me as an individual I cannot own private property, control all the means of production, dictate how much money/profit I'm allowed to make from my own business, regulate every aspect of the economy, and then if I don't like it
and go along with it, I'll get thrown in prison.
I would take a king. I would take medieval, arbitrary, on-a-whim beheadings in the town square if I'm mostly left alone and do not have to live in a collectivist bureaucratic nightmare mommy-state voted into existence by ignorant, resentful, entitled 20-somethings, where I'm literally forced at gunpoint to pretend to be an enthusiastic participant in their communist group project.
You don't get to take my money and property so you can use it to abort your children and give whatever remains to foreigners who broke into the country.
Fuck you. Mine! You can't have it. You can't take it. I got it fair and square and if you try to take it, I'll throat-punch you a bunch of times.
