I'm LGBTQ...AND republican. Although that means something vastly different where I live, haha (I live in a kingdom).

The only cool kind of Republicans

[-] zloubida@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

In my republic (France), Republicans suck too. It looks like you're right: cool Republicans only exist in monarchies.

[-] cashews_best_nut@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Isn't everyone in The France republican? Do you have monarchist French that want to resurrect King Louis? Or do they want to crown Macarone the new King?

P.S. I had an almond croissant earlier today and took a picture of some frozen snails.

Almost everyone is Republican, but we also have a Republican Party, which isn't more Republican than the others, this name makes zero sense. It's the successor of the party of De Gaulle, but I'm quite sure De Gaulle wouldn't like what this party became.

There are a few monarchist movements, generally far-right-leaning, like the French Action. But they are very small and divided (there are two candidates for the throne, and different kinds of monarchies), so nobody takes them seriously.

PS: croissants are good; snails aren't.

De Gaulle

He really hated the English - which is a bit rich considering we sheltered him during the war. He was proven right on the EU though. We did nothing but cause trouble while in, then left. Precisely what he predicted. :(

A civilised French! A rare, but welcome, breed. I forgive you for Patay, Formigny, and Castillon. Joan of Arc was obviously suffering the Snail Madness and didn't realise English rule was superior.

I don't think De Gaulle hated the English, but he surely despised them. He despised almost everyone though, and maybe he despised the French more than anyone else, calling us “calves” or mocking our love for cheese, for example. Yeah, he was an asshole.
