The psychology of the "No King's March" in the US from the generational perspective of those who are appalled by it.

[Bleipriester]

You're welcome. When's your anniversary over there in "Doucheland"?

That depends on which Germany you count. The real nation state was founded on January 18 in 1871. But you also can go back to somewhere in the 9th century, if the Holy Roman Empire of German Nation counts.

 

[Blaster]

That march convinced nobody except radical leftists.

The "No Kings" (LOL) "protest" was nothing.
Most of the signs people made were about ICE not Trump, the preprinted signs given out to the kids were mostly odd generic statements just saying no kings with a crown on it, most accompanied by some anti-ICE rant.
All in all - it was nothing specific except rants about ICE.

And it is over. No one cares.

Boy has your tune changed

You started with they were all paid to be there and had protest signs made for them to carry.

What you got was a grassroots protest on short notice with hand made signs.

I haven't spoken about it much at all. Didn't change anything. And I didn't say anyone was paid.
The No Kings march was organized by Leftist organizations via social media.
Like I said, most of the handmade signs were about ICE and deportations, others random hate Trump signs about nothing, others some dumb remark about no kings.
It was all about nothing. All pretty stupid and funny.
Trump is nothing like a King, never was, and won't be. Saying he is - is laughably juvenile.

 

[Grumblenuts]

the inability to no longer make sense

Forced to make sense. Terrible!

 

[iamwhatiseem]

And to boot - you can tell it was a bust because the left main stream media barely covered it.
Look at CNN/MSNBC today - virtually nothing about it.
How could they cover it? It is kind of embarrassing as you look at signs - just general signs about random claims.
It was a bust. So we had a group of kids running around blocking roads, yelling at random cars driving by and carrying signs about nothing.

Trump is the one to set ICE policy
No Kings was set up in a matter of days vs the months and $40 million Trump spent on his birthday parade

People showed up in droves, in the rain to protest the excesses of Trump
It shows the passion his opponents have vs the indifference of MAGA on Trumps birthday

Haha - yeah no.

Look at the signs. They say nothing but random rhetoric
It is Trump Hate all over again and again and again. No substance. No message. Just random hate.

 

[hadit]

No Kings marchers came out by the millions to protest Trumps assault on Democracy

Nobody was interested in Trumps Birthday Parade

Horrible ratings

A king doesn't allow his subjects to protest against having a king, just sayin'.

 

[JGalt]

Looking at it on the whole it was not much of a much.....Mostly a street party.....Something to do on a weekend in the liberal shitholes.

Only 11.11% of the dem base turned out, mostly young people who won't vote anyway.

The rest were inconsequential old-fart dems.

Nobody cares.

The signs were handmade heartfelt objections to the excesses of Trump. People came out in the rain to show their complaints.

Your claims that signs were “random rhetoric” negates the RW claims that protesters were paid to be there.

And to boot - you can tell it was a bust because the left main stream media barely covered it.

Trump lost the news cycle when most of the media turned to the RW assassinations of Democrats in Minnesota.

His Birthday Parade was an afterthought

My honest opinion is----considering the present mood (or moods) in the
country----the project was ill-conceived

There appears to be a corrolation between dementia and the rise of liberal causes in the US. Could this be a childlike, fearful reaction the inability to no longer make sense of the world? Are people, particularly elderly Baby Boomers, looking for justification of their condition by forming groups of like minded afflicted individuals to make themselves feel better about no longer being mentally aware? Misery loves company and this seems to be the foundation of what is going on.

Claims against Trump being King are based on…

The courts declaring Trump is above the law and Trump taking full advantage of it.
Trump tearing down the Government
Trump consolidating power in the Presidency
Trump ignoring the Courts
Trump arresting his adversaries
