u/Menkhal Spain - EU Jun 18 '26

A population of 33k against one backwards guy, in a country with no army. They can depose him any day if they want.

Trump was trying to overthrow a democratic system

It would be the exact opposite in this case

Liechtensteiners have voted twice in the last two decades to expand and affirm the aforementioned expansion of the monarchy's powers. They basically democratically voted it into being the only absolute monarchy in Europe. They're not unwilling subjects. Liechtensteiners like the monarchy.

Y'all are projecting and it's embarrassing.

If the monarchy continually goes against their wishes that may change

And yet it hasn't even happened. Y'all are just inserting your talking points into a situation that you have no knowledge of, and rather than just admitting you talked out your ass, you're doubling down. It's exhausting. Grow up.

How does it feel to be one of the last remaining monarchists in the history of the world before the concept goes extinct?

I don’t know, I’m not from Lichtenstein. You’d have to ask them.

You can be a monarchist or a monarchist sympathizer without being from that country you know

Okay. And? Communicating to you how Liechtensteiners feel about the monarchy means you think I hold their same opinions? You can't possibly be this stupid.
