Interesting, reminds me of Lt Dan from Forrest Gump who was quite conflicted.

This may help - One thing I realized after living in DC for >8yrs, is that many people do not know what slogans mean, and some simply do not realize what they are signaling, and may not even mean to signal it...LOL

Telling moment: I was walking back from the rally, but a couple miles from it, carrying nothing but my gigantic American flag. An eight year old on his bike sees me with it and yells "No Kings!!" with absolute conviction.

My friends, they have lost the flag.

The scene at No Kings in Raleigh, where protesters have been met with a near-constant stream of supportive honks for the last two hours.

Pritzker: Throughout history we've learned that tyranny doesn't arrive with dramatic proclamations. Most times it comes quietly wrapped in the language of law and order, with fingers pointed at someone who doesn't look like you, promising safety while demanding that we sacrifice our neighbors.

When the ICE agents are shooting tear gas at the Chicago police, you think that the NYPD and everybody else in this country would pick up on the plot here. I mean, it means that ICE is not friendly to any police, force, or respectful of any law in any state.

Tweet from the verified NYPD News account reads: "The majority of the No Kings protests have dispersed at this time and all traffic closures have been lifted. We had more than 100,000 people across all five boroughs peacefully exercising their first amendment rights and the NYPD made zero protest-related arrests." The post is timestamped 3:27 PM on 10/18/25 and shows 50K views. The NYPD badge is displayed in the top left corner.

And frankly man, we should ask the folks who so effectively rallied everyone nationwide how they feel we should assemble an agenda that will bring every1 together

These dem leaders are about as eloquent as Screech RIP

Elevate leaders who can actually build coalitions and lead them

And how. Dead weight is going to dead weight.

With the numbers today, there should be a clear set of demands sent to Democratic leadership saying we have a clear mandate.

And you are either going to capitalize on it or resign. You have one week to show us that you have what it takes /1

A lot of democrat officials are going to takeaway from this that their side showed up and they are less threatened now.

This is not at all what I would take away when people are demanding an end to tyranny.

Yep. That's really the only way he knows how to survive is grift, like all of them. Let's just let them run out the clock. I don't think there's going to be much effort here. Repeat offenders will always be repeat offenders.

Yep, everybody's on a hair trigger.

It's a perfect play.

Can we call it a triple entendre even?

If you think my opinion is wrong, please point out the constructive call to action in your tweet after all the complaint parts.

Organizers have reported 7 million attendees at the No Kings events and we’re happy to confirm 7 million and counting! More events are still happening across the country today, so we’ll need additional time to fully certify the final numbers.
