While I can't totally disagree with this sentiment, what alternative form of government do you suggest? Literally every form of government tried has devolved into corruption and instability, and ironically, most non-democratic governments have ultimately, given enough time, been succeeded by democratic governments. So what to do?
Monarchies are the natural form of government where a nation has its father and mother. Or any type of dynasty where the royal family is dependent upon the prosperity of the nation. There have been bad monarchies, no form of government is immune to bad leadership, but there are a multitude of great monarchies from Alexander the Great to the founding of Rome by the seven kings to Saint Louis IX of France.
Monarchies have existed for thousands of years. Modern democracies have only existed for less than 300 years but America couldn’t last a 100 years before the nation was subverted and elections became meaningless. There’s no incentive for a democratic leader to preserve their nation when they’re only in power for 4-8 years and even if they wanted to, term limits and elections prevent them from leading the country long term.

Europe was better off under monarchies.
