Well it took America proving democracy works and WW1 to topple a couple of monarchies.
Ah yes, America, the first successful democratic nation Give me a break
It's not even a democracy, much less the first successful one
We need WW3 and the Bell Riots to topple capitalism.
Don't forget the Irish Unification
Democratic republics existed before America mate
Also, the glaring racial inequities of America were ridiculed by contemporaries, even anti-monarchists across the world.
Lmmfao.... 🤣🤣
The truth is American "democracy" does "work", but not for the reasons, nor the people, you surely think it does (hint: it isn't you, nor the benefit of society)..

We'll never said their democracy works it's just theirs was the first alternative to govern a nation that the status quo of monarchies since Roman empire fell. Fuck American democracy is clearly not the democracy I wish to one day have, but it did provide stability in leadership relative to monarchies since the leaders (in theory) are chosen by a supportive people for their ability to lead and not because someone fucked had a kid with their cousin and now that kid is destined to lead.
There are many government systems out there, unfortunately some are bad, some are good but I do not know of a one size fits all.
