Of Bookish Things<p>The difference between <a href="https://c.im/tags/America" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>America</span></a> and <a href="https://c.im/tags/Canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Canada</span></a>.</p><p>Canada has a king. He is a pleasant, well-mannered very wealthy old gentleman, who minds his own business, and will only get involved (mostly public symbolic messaging) in our affairs if our elected government asks him to. He has two sons from a first marriage, divorced, and re-married - a rich old bimbo (Our Queen, who we entirely ignore). </p><p>America has an elected President who wants to act like he is an Absolute Monarch. He is an unpleasant, ill-mannered very rich old, corpulent, self-absorbed boor of a man, who sticks his nose into the private and public business of Americans. He acts according to whim, ignoring those who need his help in his role as a President. He has two sons from a first marriage, has had multiple divorces and affairs, and is presently married to a rich bimbo, who is much younger than him (Americans ignore her most of the time). </p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/TrumpRegime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TrumpRegime</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/TrumpCoup" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TrumpCoup</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/KingCharles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KingCharles</span></a></p>
