No Kings 2.0

[WallFlowerActive]

I thought there would be exclamations of excitement over the new and improved no kings thing 2.0

Not sure what it has to do with the USA as a representative republic with the executive, the legislative, and the judiciary?

With federal, state, county, and city?

The teachers union seems to like holding children as figurative hostages and bargaining chips.

The judges on the Supreme Court do seem to sit on the bench too long.  Especially after Ginsburg at the end in no way being in her right mind to make rulings, and wondering who was making rulings for her.

Anyway, not sure what no kings 2.0 is going to achieve.  I guess keep the supposed protest industrial complex going?

With the enabling orders being given to reorient the national security apparatus towards prioritizing identifying networks of anti-American ideological extremism that lead to violence, I would imagine that federal law enforcement will be in the crowds with IMSI detectors and cameras.

Have fun justifying all the terrorists you follow on Facebook and X, leftists!

It's achievement ... proving that the country is full of lemmings and idiots.

They claim to be 'saving democracy', yet they are protesting against free and fair
democratic election results.   

They protest against kings, something that doesn't exist in America.   We have no kings.   If we did, then the protests wouldn't be allowed.   The REAL 'no kings' celebration is July 4th when we got rid of the English royals and King George III.

Billionaire donor George Soros is reportedly funding many of the organizations leading the "No Kings" protests, like Indivisible, whose co-founders, Leah Greenberg and Ezra Levin, received a $3 million two-year grant last year from Soros’s Open Society Foundations for "social welfare activities."
Details about the "Palestine Contingent" weaving into the "No Kings" protests raises new questions about the way big Democratic donors like Soros are funneling nonprofit dollars into a professional protest industry that is fractious, divisive and partisan, potentially in violation of tax and nonprofit laws.

All bought and paid for by America hating foreigners bent on destroying this country.

Millions in the LeftTard Wing are so simple, they would protest their grandmothers if paid enough.

A million people fed up with an over reaching Government is a conspiracists dream!!
How many times have we been warned of a coming NWO, and people who a controlling government deem enemies locked up?? Surely you guys should be celebrating the fact that ordinary people don't want to end up in camps or under the boot??

Realizations typically don't happen until once a president is gone (with partisans).

Bush was vehemently defended by the right, and it took some years after he was gone before we collectively said he was a horrible president who did great damage to our country (though, I'd compare him to Carter, seems like a pretty solid dude outside of the presidency, but horrible president).

Obama was celebrated at a different level than we were used to seeing in politics. But he ended up being the antithesis of what he ran on. Bombing more countries than Bush, bailing out banks, helping consolidation of large corporate entities that helped put America in the mess we found ourselves in (Banking, Wall Street, Big Pharma).

Biden proved to be just a figure head, and I'm not really sure what the platform was there other than he wasn't Trump. They had an opportunity to try and find their roots again of the old Democratic party, but they were tone deaf to the populace, and just found an establishment yes man.

Trump reminds me of Obama, running on a platform of huge change. Term one he said he was going to slash the debt, then he went on to break the record for it. He also noted he would drain the swamp, though I think there is a lot of obvious corruption, and any targeting of swamp creatures is solely if they are against him. George Santos just got commuted, he was the literal definition of fraud in government (and committed fraud outside of it). He won the second time because Americans were feeling the pressure of high prices in the economy while Wall St was still celebrating new highs. Trump said he would bring down prices day one, yet we still see many daily consumables continue to rise in cost. 

If there is a lesson to the story, it's that no one will learn. America is still 100% bought into the two party narrative, where they believe every plight we have is due to their political opponents. I think history is very clear that they all are very successful at service a certain class of citizens, and it's not us. If I had to take a guess, years after Trump is gone, society will collectively agree he was as damaging as the above presidents, but that party will find a new person to "fix" the system. We'll rinse and complete while nothing changes.

I'd just like to add that I don't think that the protests are productive. While I whole heartedly believe in the right to protest, and strongly disagree with some of the narratives on X that this is one big anti American protest, the truth is they're fighting against something that has already happened.

Trump is not the root of all of America's problems. He is a glaring symptom of it. The left has been tone deaf for decades, and while they had short term success with Obama, they followed suit with Hillary, Biden, and Harris.

The left has an opportunity to find a platform and message that resonates with the American people, not just their most supportive base. I feel as if they prioritized identity politics and culture war topics (the right is guilty of this two, but I feel that's more of a response). A lot of third party, independents, and swing voters don't have those issues as a priority. They want to buy a house, have a family, and live a comfortable life. 

Protesting isn't going to change anything in this instance. Trump has proven that he has the conviction to continue on even if the whole country hated him. But what they could do is demand their own party get their act together.

I have no problems with people protesting. I firmly believe in the Right to make your voice heard.

My problem is, Why Now ? 

We never saw this level of unrest under a Democrat President, but as soon as Trump gets in, the trouble starts. ANTIFA is active now, but they were very, very quiet during the Biden years. The fact that Soros is paying for all this speaks volumes.
 

Billionaire donor George Soros is reportedly funding many of the organizations leading the "No Kings" protests, like Indivisible, whose co-founders, Leah Greenberg and Ezra Levin, received a $3 million two-year grant last year from Soros’s Open Society Foundations for "social welfare activities." Details about the "Palestine Contingent" weaving into the "No Kings" protests raises new questions about the way big Democratic donors like Soros are funneling nonprofit dollars into a professional protest industry that is fractious, divisive and partisan, potentially in violation of tax and nonprofit laws.
 
According to a public database of the protest’s organizers, compiled by the Pearl Project, a journalism initiative, the protest’s "partners" include 265 mostly nonprofit organizations, including some anti-Israel groups, like Jewish Voice for Peace, exploiting their nonprofit benefits to wage a political war against the sitting president. Their nonprofit status shields them from paying taxes on most of their total annual revenues of $2.9 billion, even while they engage in partisan work they aren’t supposed to be doing. Critics say they are allegedly skirting, if not violating, tax and nonprofit laws. Event organizers didn’t return requests for comment.
"They call it ‘No Kings,’ but what they’ve built is an empire of tax-exempt organizations doing the Democratic Party’s work on the taxpayer’s dime," said Jennica Pounds, a computer scientist who runs a platform, DataRepublican.com, following the money on these organizations. "They are using every excuse in the book, from immigration to Israel, to rage-bait America. There is nothing ‘charitable’ about their professional protest enterprise, and they should be investigated for fomenting so much hate in America behind the shield of ‘charity work.’" 

It's a bit long, but I tried to hit the high points. Read the whole thing and you'll find all this "outrage" is artificially generated and I'm betting you can guess from where.

Even though the chickens may have voted to allow a fox into the hen house, it doesn't mean they can't make a racket when that fox starts threatening to attack and eat them.
