Realism has a chance again, now can Americans also wind down the cult-like following of figures like Musk, Trump, actors, athletes, and the likes? European royalists never were this crazy about their objects of affection.

Michael Fagan (a British citizen who intruded into Queen Elizabeth II's bedroom in Buckingham Palace in 1982) was reportedly somewhat enamoured of the Queen.

The hardcore carriage way lining flag wavers of the UK queue for hours and often have homes that could feature on Desperate Hoarders for the sheer number of coronation themed teapots and tea cosies that line every sill and proto ledge.

Even the UK's most notorious anarchists and anti-christs sing God Save the Queen.

Yes, and quantity and quality-wise that's nothing against the American hordes and their personality cults.

No comment list on a forum such as HN can capture the breadth and depth of royal obsessive behaviour - and would struggle to enumerate the wackiness of the various US cults of personality.

If you're really wanting to properly quantify this you may have to resort to Cantor, Aleph notation, and avoid naive comparisons.

American exceptionalism hurts when pointing out the dark sides of it, doesn't it, champ?
