Use of 1 Samuel to refute legitimacy of monarchy

Good morning, Corey. When I advocate for monarchy as the most coherent and God-honoring form of government, I frequently encounter resistance from Christians on the American Right who cite 1 Samuel 8 as a definitive refutation. They tend to view the establishment of the monarchy as an inherent rejection of divine authority rather than a development within the historic order. What is the most effective way to engage these individuals and challenge this interpretation of the text?
