‘No Kings’ crowds don’t want more democracy — they want LESS By Glenn Harlan Reynolds Trump isn't a king; he's a popularly elected president who won in something of a landslide, delivering exactly the policies that he promised the electorate Watching the “No Kings” protests, a friend commented: “Democracy dies when the other side wins. Another rule they wouldn’t want to have turned back on them.” That does seem to be the animating spirit not only of the various marches around the country, but of the entire anti-Trump resistance. President Donald Trump’s crime isn’t anything he’s said, or done, or even believed (which, all too often, anti-Trump protesters can’t cogently describe anyway). It’s that he won, and he represents the other team. His actions generally involve invoking various statutes acted into law by Congress over the past several decades. His enforcement of immigration laws and deportation of criminal aliens is very popular. His ending of DEI policies is also very popular. So is his slashing of federal payrolls, and his cuts to foreign aid. Then there are his cuts to federal regulations. And his support for law enforcement. In fact, Trump is a “king” — or “dictator,” as we’re often told — whose actual program seems to involve shrinking the government he heads. That’s not the usual thing for autocrats. Kings inherit their jobs; presidents are elected for a term. As Meghan McCain tweeted, “I don’t understand how Trump is a King when he won every single swing state, the electoral college and popular vote in a democratic election.” Legal scholar Ilya Shapiro responded, “No no he’s a king by dismantling an administrative state that <checks notes> nobody voted for.” That’s Trump’s real sin — carrying out the will of the voters. Democrats know their policies are unpopular. That’s why they have to lie about everything from immigration to affirmative action to gun control. Democrats represent the administrative/professional class: bureaucrats, educators, academics, media people and, of course, a huge gaggle of useless nonprofit and foundation and NGO flunkies. https://nypost.com/2025/10/20/opinion/no-kings-crowds-dont-want-more-democracy-they-want-less/

Democrat Senators Now Fear Fallout of 'No Kings' Absurdity By Ward Clark The "No Kings" weekend of absurdity has ended, and many of us are still pointing and laughing at videos of aging Boomer hippies and Gen Z nitwits, both of which groups are shrieking incoherently about "tyranny" when in a real tyranny they would not be allowed to shriek incoherently about "tyranny." A casual read through history reveals very clearly, after all, that real tyrants aren't really big on free speech. You can't expect any intellectual consistency from these people, after all. But now the raging of the nitwits has some Democrat Senators worried about holding the line in the ongoing Schumer Shutdown - worried, not about Republicans, not even about sane voters, but about their own far-left base. In that context, Democrats know they will get hit hard by a number of voices on the left if they do not get something for opening the government. “People are going to get hammered” if they vote for the House-passed bill to reopen the government and keep it funded through Nov. 21, said one Democratic senator who requested anonymity to talk candidly about their party. The schadenfreude, it is strong in this. When you dine at the Devil's table, you don't get to choose the menu, and Democrats have, as a party, embraced the nutcase left - now they face the consequences. https://redstate.com/wardclark/2025/10/20/dem-senators-now-fear-fallout-of-no-kings-absurdity-n2195270 .

Will Anyone Notice KJP Leaving the Democrat Party? Eric Florack https://pjmedia.com/eric-florack/2025/10/20/will-anyone-notice-kjp-leaving-the-democrat-party-n4945039 .

"Democrats say the use of silly inflatable costumes is a way to undercut Republican portrayals of such events as violent 'hate America rallies.'" The Washington Post sets out to answer the question "Why protesters against Trump are wearing frog, chicken and T. rex costumes." If you feel you need to put on a costume to disguise what you are, doesn't that suggest that you are the scary thing you're trying to cover up? I think of the wolf in sheep's clothing. The image of wolf in sheep's clothing comes from in the Sermon on the Mount. Jesus said: "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves." From the WaPo article: https://althouse.blogspot.com/2025/10/democrats-say-use-of-silly-inflatable.html#more https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/10/19/inflatable-costumes-trump-protests/?

Back to "No Kings" The Ridiculous No Kings Protest Aging lefties waste a beautiful Saturday to pretend they are speaking truth to power. by David Catron It’s difficult to think of a more effective way to illustrate the moral and intellectual emptiness of the American left than to have them march around demanding an end to an institution our founding fathers abolished 250 years ago. This is how the official “No Kings” website described what happened on Saturday: “On October 18, more than seven million of us rose up at more than 2,700 events in all 50 states, DC, and cities worldwide to say: America has no kings, and the power belongs to the people.” These folks are a little late to the party, as Thomas Jefferson would probably point out were he still with us. What they are actually protesting, of course, has nothing to do with kings. It’s just another mass outbreak of Trump Derangement Syndrome. As Brit Hume phrases it on X, “The ‘No Kings’ rallies are mostly a protest against a man who sought power three times through democratic elections and enacted his major agenda item by majority vote of democratically elected members of Congress. Some King.” Batya Ungar-Sargon expands on his point as follows: “The Left isn’t protesting a king but their fellow Americans. They aren’t standing up for democracy — they are protesting against it.” They seem to have forgotten that Donald Trump was democratically elected less than one year ago with a popular majority. {snip} The point here is that these ridiculous people aren’t doing their own thinking. Instead, they are following the lead of the leftist organizers of No Kings, including Communist Party USA, the Young Communist League, the Democratic Socialists of America, Antifa, Indivisible, MoveOn, ad infinitum. Countless X posters went to the protests and asked people why they were protesting President Trump. Most answers were just dumb: “I don’t know. We don’t like him. That’s the word around here.” Others were more sinister. This man ironically advocated the use of gun violence: “You gotta grab a gun, we gotta turn around the guns on this fascist system.” The good news is that most baby boomers aren’t this pathetic. Nor is the Gen Z cohort of the population. The 2024 election demonstrated that fact pretty convincingly. The vast majority of the people “protesting Trump” on Saturday are just TDS victims. No one believes that President Trump aspires to be a king or a dictator. That is really just a DNC talking point that will be used as an excuse to impeach Trump if the Democrats have a majority in the House after the 2026 midterms. The “No Kings” protests are part of a larger psyop designed to prepare the public for that contingency. The whole spectacle was astroturfed and utterly ridiculous. https://spectator.org/the-ridiculous-no-kings-protest/ .
