>proceeds to dissolve parliament and make himself an absolute dictator far beyond what the king's power was

America wouldn't exist with out him.

>>1727673

Parliament would live to regret it.

Hardly. Think worked out for the best when Charlie came home.

>>1727721
>Hardly
They beheaded Cromwell from the grave and everyone who signed Charlie's death warrant was put to death, so I'd say so.

Religious nutjob who had auditory command hallucinations from "god".

Today he would be diagnosed with violent schizophrenia and institutionalized

>>1727727
Parliament as a whole benefited from the civil war though.

Just a man of his time

not much he did that wasn't also the will of the religious nutjobs surrounding him

>>1727736
>instituionalized
>2016

he would be pumped full of mind altering substances. which either work, make him feel like a zombie, or make him even crazier. He would then shoot up an abortion clinic. Then be put into a crazy person prison.

Not really. Their priority was to stamp out Catholicism High Church Reform, Christmas, plays, etc. Virtually every single act they passed after the King initially fled London, was repealed after the Restoration. Their major accomplishment was causing tragic and profound damage to the country.
