Was out today protesting this criminal administration led by a wanna-be king in my city. I was PROUD to be a part of something so truly American with my fellow "left wing terrorists" and "paid protesters." Remember, the first ever #NoKings event happened way back in the form of the American Revolution! There is truly nothing more patriotic than standing up against a perceived king.
I stand up for my rights and peacefully protest because I LOVE my country and what this country's constitution stands for. If you are against peaceful protests, then it's you, who hates this country.
Here's an Ariel video of some of our gathering and March around the city today. Local news has estimated 5,000-6,000 in attendance, and we are a relatively small city.

You are the only people who perceive Trump as King. To me, he is the epitome of democracy, the face of MOB RULE. A King would probably be much better.

What would you call someone who openly defies court orders, issues illegal executive orders, attempts to force private businesses and universities into doing what he wants by threatening to pull their broadcasting license and threatening to withhold federal funding, has completely renovated the oval office full of gold, and thinks he is above the law, which btw the supreme Court essentially said he (any president really) is?
Democracy is about the people, and Trump couldn't give a fuck what the people think. Over 80% of the country disagrees with how ICE and CBP are doing things and Trump's approval ratings are below 40%. And don't tell me "the majority of the country voted for him" because that's simply untrue. The majority of those who voted, voted for him and only about 1/3rd of the nation's eligible population votes in Presidental elections. Out of those people, only a small fraction above half voted for Trump. Do the math that is 1/6th roughly of the nation's eligible voting population which voted for him. The fact that you see a man who has personally profited off the Presidency and has made over 1 billion dollars off his memecoin scam since being inaugurated as someone who is working for you is hilarious and shows just how well right wing propaganda works.

No kings protest seems silly to me unless he attempts to go against the constitution and run for a third or additional term. Otherwise he’s just a dick president with an expiration date.
