The English had already fought a revolution to ensure that their king wasn't above the law a century before the Americans decided to brew some salty tea. What you've got now is worse than what the founding fathers rebelled against.
Yeah but the OOP doesn't seem to understand it wasn't about the monarch himself. It was the parliament which contained no representatives from the colonies, therefore nobody to stand up for them in political talks. Nowadays they have career politicians and outright fascists, therefore nobody to stand up for them in political talks. It's just a different flavor of the same oppression
