‘No Kings’ Has Republicans in Disarray

Why GOP lawmakers are spreading fear about the upcoming rally.

www.thebulwark.com

The utterly insipid demonstrations planned for Saturday are a great manifestation of U.S. Leftism in this, the era of Trump. They have no agenda, no plan, nothing to offer the American people other than a sophomoric hate for the President who roundly defeated them last November. To call their movement, "No Kings" is tantamount to saying, "Up with the Good; Down with the Bad." No one can argue with it, but it is meaningless.

The linked article tries to make the case that No Kings has the Republicans quaking in their figurative boots, but I don't see any of that. When your adversary is making an ass of itself speaking, the best strategy is simply to let it speak.

Our Beloved President, bringing a private-sector resume to the ultimate public sector executive position, is exploring the limits of Presidential powers, expecting to be shot down in some instances and successful in others. This is not "authoritarianism," it is good management - a strategy that will benefit everyone who succeeds him in the Presidency.

My older sister (86 and counting) participated with dozens of her bunkmates at an independent living facility in the last No Kings rally, and she was proud as punch for the experience. I figure she was a bit too old for the anti-war protests during Vietnam and she's finally finding a "cause" that she can protest about, even though nobody can articulate its meaning other than, "We are pissed off that we lost the last election."

I used to think that Leftists would never be able to surpass the stupidity of the Occupy protests, but I admit I was wrong. It is interesting that they didn't plan this for a Friday. Essentially none of them work for a living, and it would have been much more disruptive.

England has a King but we have a President. This is a stupid protest.

Good point. They could have disrupted a lot of real Americans getting off work Friday afternoon.

Saturday still works for them though because many real Americans are out running errands and doing things on Saturday. Lots of traffic on Sat.

Trump is trying to transform the presidency into something that our founders feared and he’s doing so by the complacency of the court and Congress.

Yes, it is authoritarianism. Trump is authoritarian.

They turned into a society of hate. They hate and attack everyone and everything that does not fit into their limited worldview. They don´t even spare cars.

I support their right to demonstrate, as long as they do it on a sidewalk, or in a field, anywhere other than on the roads

The Protests I saw under the "No Kings" banner were peaceful in Upstate NY, mostly a combo of very old and very young women with signs.

The issue is if Anti-fa decides to use them as cover for violence this time around.

Old liberals are the backbone of the Democrat party as the younger people flock to the GOP.

Trump is reducing the power of government with tax and regulation cuts as well as spending cuts. Thats the opposite of an authoritarian.

Democrats increase the power of government and insert it into our personal lives. That is authoritarian

Average age at the "No Kings" protest: 71
Average IQ at the "No Kings" protest: 71

I would correct that to read, "old, White, and/or dumb."

Huzzah for the freedom to speak freely and tell our leaders what we think!
I know you hate the idea of any freedoms.

Nobody gives a shit about this phony protest.

Nevertheless, they have the right to roam around to rally their cause, on the sidewalks and out of the roads.
