Just a few points about No Kings:
1. The right wing argument: "If we had a king we wouldn't be allowed to protest so the protest is pointless" is beyond stupid and beyond bad faith.
Obviously the point is that we don't WANT an executive with maximalist powers that threaten democratic gaurdrails. But that doesn't fit on a poster, and if you need someone to spell it out for you, you are a hopeless anyways.
2. Would a large "No Fuhrer" movement in Berlin in 1932 have been "pointless"?
3. Ridicule the people all you want, there were 7 million of them. It was the largest single day of political activism in the history of this country and probably the world.
Play it down if you want, but that's what it was.
4. No authoritarian regime has ever survived a mobilized popular movement of more than 3.5% of the population. We're getting close to that threshold. This is a good thing because it sends the message that there isnt a lot of margin of error for Trump to fuck around with further unpopular policies.
5. 7 million people in the street with virtually NO violence completely puts to bed the Republican lie that MAGAs main opposition are radical leftist extremists.
