Yeah, but they're in the minority. Believe it or not, given a choice, a majority of Americans would disband Congress and the Supreme Court, and go with a single ruler and his minions (the Executive branch).

Believe it or not, that was also a major factor at the time of the Constitution being created. The Founders' writings are full of commentary on the arguments pro and con a monarch. The Presidency was a compromise.

A majority of Americans probably think this is how the government works now.
