Thanks to BadCat for the inspiration, although BadCat probably had no idea.
There appears to be some interesting historical parallels between the upcoming Democrat national convention, and the coronation of George IV of England in 1821; a coronation which proved one of the most ridiculous coronations in all the history of coronations.
George III, who had reigned for 60 years, died in 1820, succeeded by his oldest son, George.
This newest George was about the same size as Fat Che, although probably an inch or two taller.
George as Prince of Wales had long ago married a princess from one of the minor German principalities, Caroline of Ansbach (Anspach, or whatever). He had been forced to give up the woman he had truly loved, because she was a whore, and a whore wouldn't do for Queen of England.
It was not a happy marriage, the husband complaining about how Princess Caroline stank, had a bad body odor, and the wife complaining about how fat and obese and gross and rank and ripe Prince George was.
(Historians have since decided that Princess Caroline was actually the better of the two.)
The unhappy pair had a daughter, named Charlotte, destined to become Queen of England in her own time (which never came, as she died young); after that, George and Caroline had severed all relations between the two of them.
But in 1821, when the mountainous George IV was to be crowned, George and Caroline were still man and wife.
And so it was quite reasonably assumed Princess Caroline would be crowned with her husband, everybody at least keeping up appearances.
The gluttonous George IV however wanted to have none of it; he wanted to be crowned alone.
The morning of the coronation, bedlam and riots broke out all over London, when Princess Caroline wasn't seen in the carriage with her husband. Violent, blood-curdling riots, as Caroline had always enjoyed much sympathy from the general public, seeing what a jerk her husband was to her.
I mean to say buildings actually got burned, and Londoners actually got killed, because of this.
Princess Caroline actually physically tried to force her way into the royal coach, and was deterred only by the gendarmes surrounding the elephantine George IV. This sparked a great violent conflagration in London.
By the time the coronation was over, it had degenerated into a ridiculous parody, a circus.
George IV, who was already old when crowned, died 10 years later, in 1830, his wife having died a couple of years before that. George IV died unmourned, while his spurned wife, despite her finally having gone batshit crazy, died greatly mourned among the common people.
I think there's a lesson for somebody, in this.
