I guess that's joke - indeed, in the EU - Northern counties + flat lands + Spain[x] are monarchies where the monarchs have all but representation powers. You can add Monaco (which is not an independent State), if you really wish.

Then there is France and the revolution in 1789 which (outside the US) is considered a big thing.

[x]: Sweden, Denmark, Belgium, Netherlands; Norway's also a monarchy but not an EU member state.

No, that has now become a value of American Republicans.

Quote: "Norwegians are girls who love girls, boys who love boys, and girls and boys who love each other. Norwegians believe in God, Allah, the Universe, and Nothing."

There are no 'conventional'/old-fashioned monarchies in Europe (except, arguably, for Liechtenstein). Some European countries have monarchs, who are powerless figureheads; executive power rests with the government (even in most European republics, executive power rests with the government, not the president).

The opposite. European values are closely tied to enlightenment and the republicanist ideas that came out of the French revolution.

As a general rule, I find that the "left" is always guilty of every single thing they accuse the right of doing. They just don't phrase it that way and think that they can control the narrative forever. The narrative, unfortunately, is crumbling and people are waking up. The only way they can stop it is by silencing and downright banning social-media, because that's currently the main vehicle for un-approved opinions spreading.
