Actually despite living in a Republic, a lot of Americans are fans of British royalty. Many actively read news of Harry and Meagan Markle.
There are good reasons for non-Americans to be interested in President Trump. Many Brits are frustrated with their own government, so it is natural for a Brit to admire a foreign populist president because they want a populist leader in their own country to make their country great again.
Would you agree though that there is a difference between admiring the pomp and ceremony of a royal wedding and actively following Qanon on 8chan and taking part in uncovering the international satanic plot masterminded by Hilary Clinton to rape children?
Trump supporters outside the US are a very different beast from Trump voters; you do get the ones who admire him as a leader, but there's just as many if not more who follow the more extreme ideologies and mythos linked to his campaign. After all, we don't have to live with the negative aspects of his administration like cutting medicare; his devotees here can just admire him from afar without ever being personally affected by the cons of his reign.
The US has freedom of speech, in fact it has the most freedom of speech. The government cannot arrest someone for speech unless if the speech is threatening. The other restriction is defamation which can get someone sued. It is true that many people get assaulted at rallies but that is antifa thugs doing that, not the government. In fact, the government is considering labeling antifa as a terrorist organizations.
I'll believe it when I see it. The American government has handled any non-white terror group like the Black Panthers half assed for decades regardless as to who was in power at the time
Antifa is a terrorist organization and should be labelled as such. Whether it will be or not is another matter entirely.
America only has freedom of speech so far as you can defend yourself financially from a defamation lawsuit (you guys are the most legalistic and eager to sue people on earth), or gunfire and that's not just me being facetious.
Freedom of speech is uniquely an American concept, making America the freest country.
Actually, Thomas Paine was British at the time he advertised this idea to the Americans. Again, America is a country where megacorperations can and will utterly destroy you for criticising their products or farming methods. You're free, if you have money.
It can't just be me who remembers things like Oprah Winfrey vs the meat industry and how many millions it cost her in legal fees for daring to say she wouldn't ever eat a burger?
The worst tyrannical governments are governments that pretend that their countries are free which is the state the UK is in.
See above. I'm sure you've seen my post listing the statistics showing Americans have the lowest quality of life in the Western world by far elsewhere as well.
That is Britain would be better off as an autocratic monarchy, because that kind of government is honest about the lack of freedom. A good historical example is comparing England under Charles I with England under Oliver Cromwell. Charles I believed he ruled by divine right and under him the English had the freedom to celebrate Christmas, play sports on Sunday, etc. Oliver Cromwell claimed he ruled in name of the people, but he restricted so much freedom that the English cheerfully welcomed Charles I's son Charles II back as king.
Firstly, I think you need to take a look at British history and learn a bit more about the Puritans rule to see why they welcomed back a monarch with limited powers subservient to parliament vs a dictator who had dismissed parliament and the democratic process of the day entirely. It was Charles II who was seen as the "democratic" choice over Oliver's designated heir to borrow modern terminology .
Secondly, I think a short spell in a state like Saudi Arabia would give you a far better insight into what a theocratic absolute monarchy actually looks like.
