No Kings 2.0

[Kurokage]

Stand on whatever you please.

US is still considered a democracy, and the pinnacle of such no less.

Something you should be proud of if you ask me.

Two things can be true at the same time Krusty.

It is a complicated question to be fair...

Yes, and no. The answer to that question is somewhat complicated. Perhaps it might be more accurate to say “the United States was intended to be a republic, but has grown into a democratic republic.” But this runs the risk of elevating original intent to divine revelation. The Founding Fathers were wise to provide guidelines and opinions, yet they could not have anticipated the complex needs of such an enormous nation.

The United States is a democratic republic, or a representational democracy, depending on if one takes a state-upward or a federal-downward view of things. Popular government runs the risk of mob rule and losing the individuality of its constituents while the republican form can take on the specter of elitism and rule by the few.

Trump approval rating up after No Kings.


NEW: President Trump’s net approval rating has INCREASED during the Democrats’ government shutdown.

Now that they got their No Kings protests out of their system, maybe they’ll stop holding the country hostage…
Footage from CNN here..

2018-2019 shutdown Trump was -3
61% blamed Trump for shutdown

2025 shutdown Trump is now +1
48% blame Trump for shutdown

No Kings was a massive flop.

“According to organizers, roughly 7 million people participated in No Kings demonstrations”

“According to organizers”

And….

“Organizers said nearly 7 million people showed up for the demonstrations across the country.”

“Organizers said”

And….

“Later, in a statement organizers said nearly 7 million people took part in demonstrations”

“Organizers said”

I could go on but I’m sure you get it now, right?

This is what the press is telling you.
Those numbers are fake and they know it.
That’s why they blame them on the organizers and won’t fact check the real numbers.
No Kings isn’t front page news today because they know it was a flop.

If the news told you oxygen was bad yall would be passed out somewhere.

I'd post videos of the huge crowds but you'd just say "fake".





But yeah, only two actually showed up, Sid and Doris Bonkers, I suppose?

Well its certainly not a monarchy, or hopefully likely to be any time soon.

Hence the "No Kings" part.

Yeah its complicated, sill no need to end the 249 year old experiment imho.

And I wouldn't expect anything other than shitty comments from you 

Wasn’t being shitty sunshine, sorry you can’t deal.   You’re a hypocrite and you display it constantly, maybe do better?

[UltraBudgie]

They are protesting against the results of a fair and accurate democratic election.
Same thing the J6 twits did.   
If the J6 twits are a threat to democracy,

Stop saying that. There were credible and reasonable indications of irregularities in the 2020 election. The J6 protest was organized by "Stop The Steal", who wanted a fair and accurate democratic election. You say in another post that they were protesting against "free and fair democratic election results". You can't say those election results were free and fair, you have no proof of that. Investigations have been shut down and evidence disappeared. The most you can say is something like "there's no evidence the election in 2020 was stolen".

Just because you seem to have decided that protesting against the results in 2020 is a losing battle—which I agree, it very likely is—doesn't mean you have to submit to the Democrat line. It's sad to see; usually you have more spine.

I voted for Trump 1. I like the ideas he says on occasion.
The actions are another kettle. Only partial love for Trump 2. 
Trump 2, Dark Brandon, cackling Kamel, and the crew of nasty Congress Critters have proven to me a few things:
1. votes dont count, it's a selection
2. It's a uniparty system. They pretend to hate eachother but they are all in it for the money.
3. In the end, whether by personal (political) will or not, both parties are working to end American sovereignty and the democratic republic, and are working hard to put in place a technofascist nightmare that say what you want, aligns it with a global shit-system like the EU and China.

Now I do think there is some inkling of attempting at the level of the subconscious and in the Trump Administration to actually try and put America First.  I applaud the appearance of trying to strengthen the borders. I question how many people are truly being detained and deported.
I also applaud trying to bring back American manufacturing and bolster our side with tariffs, BUT I question the detrimental effect on people like American farmers. 
So I prefer this flavour of President, but I question the ultimate worth.

Your sources don’t say what you’re saying they say.
Did you even look at them?

The most recent poll from TODAY October 20 shows Trump UP after the No Kings virtue signal.

“The president's net approval rating is -15%, up 0.3 points since last week.
