There is an undeniable similarity, but the American seems more passionate about his Civic Duty, while the Brit just seems to be going through the motions...
I mean they were all so offended in 1642 when the King's men stormed parliament. But now they celebrate it annually. Once our Lord and Liege Donald J. Trump returns to power we shall create a new congressional opening ceremony in which the Gentleman Usher of the Looted Crowd Control Barrier aggressively rams it into the door of the House three times to commemorate the glorious January 6 of 2021. And it shall occur each year for the next 300 years. So say we all.
So which is better?: representational democracy or absolute monarchy (King Donald I?)
Maybe don't ask the Brits since their system is such a garbled, mixed message of both...
But then again, the custom illustrated above, does seem to be an odd but ultimately
conciliatory gesture between Royalists and Roundheads after their English Civil War.
Similar Benevolence was shown to the Confederacy after the American Civil war and was instrumental in bringing about social and political healing.
However, much of this was undone recently by the Radical Left (basically America's Khmer Rouge) who tore down historical statues and flags in order to instill terror and further the aims of their own Woke-Fascist State.
