We need to swiftly transform No Kings from a Democratic Party spectacle to a grass roots resistance movement.

    The biggest issue with No King’s, at least out of my perspective is that it is only centered around Trump and his cronies, and doesn’t actually target the system that keeps churning out people like Trump, produces them and puts them into power. Americans believe that Trump happened to them like a natural disaster would, and that they were sadly just ill prepared. They fail to see and correctly point out that the system thrives on people like Trump and actively pursues putting them into positions of power. Until that isn’t addressed, these protests will bring about no material change.

      P.2025 has been decades in the making. They have been systemically cutting funding for education for as long as I’ve been alive. Add in social media and it’s manufactured division, it has been a perfect shit storm for a takeover.

      Note, I’m agreeing with you and adding a thought here. I’ve always figured it would need to get ugly if any meaningful change were to happen, how ugly does it need to get? This is the only question I have now.
