Wait aristocracies aren’t genetic? Is chairman Xi considered a monarch?
The American President is a monarch by design, and has only amassed more power over time. Not sure where Xi falls though, how does his position compare to that of POTUS?

They are, but like 10,000 aristocratic families will keep the status quo as best they can. King Doofus the XII might do something interesting
It’s a pure numbers game. If you have a bunch of aristocrats, the chance of the average shifting dramatically due to random chance is infinitesimal, but with a single roll for a monarch you have a much higher chance of rapid shifts.

Yes hello it is I Kurt's Secret Son


 I want to be a craven vizier whose wicked plot is easily foiled by the holy monarch, whose clear vision and devout faith allowed him to see through my tricks

Seems like a good gig

I'd like to live in a kingdom where being the king's royal buttwiper is considered an amazing job which will help both me and my family.

6. Who would be King and what would that process look like?

Answer: That has not yet been decided for a few reasons. One, we are not at a place where we have enough political momentum for such a decision to be timely. Two, such a choice will be decided by what’s called an interregnum council which would be provided with all the resources necessary to properly deliberate on such a choice. And lastly, choosing now would be irresponsible because the candidate will automatically become the “face” of the movement and as such exposed to unnecessary and unwarranted attention. Anyone opposed to us would do anything in their power to find gossip or dirt about that individual, or their family if they are desperate, and attacks on them would be tantamount to attacking the movement and would invariably be used to discredit the movement and its principles.

There are two main criteria for who it can or would be: that they be a US citizen or have birthright citizenship, and that they be identifiably different from the masses. Why? One, Citizenship would provide them constitutional legitimacy and so would most likely be needed in the future. Two, as of the 2020 census there are over 331 million people in the USA so going through a list of that many people would be impractical, and what claim to a future monarchy could one average citizen possibly have over any other? Thus, they need to be “identifiably different” from everyone else and that also helps to cut down the list of possible claimants.
...
9. Bourbon or Bonaparte?

Answer: I don’t really concern myself with the claimants to the French Throne. I do admire both Louis XIV and Napoleon Bonaparte; I suppose it is up to the French whether they want an Empire or a Kingdom to see which of the Three claims they want to have as sovereign of France.

Boo, that is an unserious person unwilling to take a stand on the issues we care about. Name the claimant!

Why would a monarch need to be a citizen anyway? That's the sort of creeping nationalism that undermined European monarchies in the first place.

Perhaps, if one wishes to remain an individual in the midst of the teeming multitudes, one must make oneself grotesque.
