Of all the things to get upset about, we choose this?

We have a war criminal actively participating to maintain genocides in Gaza and Ukraine. We have a traitor who has stolen classified information and most likely sold it to our enemies. We have a sex trafficker, especially concentrating on procuring young girls for rich and powerful people. We have a dictator commanding "his" army to take up arms against the people. We have a dictator illegally shutting down programs properly appropriated by Congress.
And some people are concerned about walking in front of an otherwise irrelevant person of "royalty" according to some ridiculous medieval customs that should have ended a millennium ago?
