The handwringing over the point of No Kings is so defeatist

America has such a deficit of civic engagement that yes, this is meaningful

No, it's not legislatively or electorally meaningful... because we're so far beyond any governing scenario where it could be

Whenever someone asks if we'll have legitimate elections in 2026 I think of those math problems like "two trains are heading south, one at 30mph and the other at 100mph, which will arrive at the destination first?" where the slow train is democratic guardrails & the fast one is the Trump admin

Republicans in Congress could make this all stop at any time but instead the Speaker started summer vacation early rather than expose the elite sex trafficking ring that they've been OBSESSED WITH EXPOSING FOR AN ENTIRE DECADE... wtf is up with that
