You think people who hate Queen Elizabeth 2 is same reason MAGA people hated Obama

[Woah0]

Its not so much what they did, but what they look and represented. I cant see much rational reason outside "influence is bad"

It just comes across as petty. Mainly from Americans.

But another thing. If lack of representation is the problem? Why not marry someone outside the typical English one. Problem solved. Royal admiration and modernity of being more inclusive

I didn't realize the queen mum was black. Incredible makeup job.

You missing the point. Point is irrational hatred for what they represent, not what they do. Thats the point

I’m also surprised to learn that Barack Obama is an elderly British woman.

Yeah, because that worked out SO well when Meghan Markle married into the Royal Family. No one has ever been more welcoming of a biracial American than that crowd of elitists.

Wonder if she had a tan suit (with matching hat, of course).

Whoa0, I think you misunderstand. I doubt there are many Americans who hated QEII. Many of us were utterly indifferent to her though. Many of us in that category get annoyed when a normal person is simply born into a position of power and treated as though they were a superior being.

It's also presumptuous to say that a person who favors one person or ideal automatically hates another person or ideal.....

I can' t stand Hillary Clinton - yet I voted for President Obama....

I've been accused of being one of those Queen Liz haters.  I dunno; I'd say it's less that I hate her, specifically, and more that I hate the idea that anyone would be born into incredible wealth and luxury just because the right person gave birth to them.  More hostility towards royalty, but also a certain amount of hostility towards many non-royals who became wealthy and powerful just because their parents were wealthy and powerful.  For example, Trump isn't a good businessman but Fred Trump was.  Likewise, Prescott Bush has a son and a grandson who both became presidents and I'm fairly confident they wouldn't have done that if not for Prescott being well connected.  I like the idea of people achieving what they achieve based on their own hard work and intelligence, not from family connections.
