What is the Meaning of 'No Kings?'
American Thinker ^ | 31 Mar, 2026 | Christopher Chantrill

Posted on 04/01/2026 4:51:25 AM PDT by MtnClimber

Last Saturday, March 28, 2026, is a day that will live… in something-or-other. I was driving down Seattle’s Aurora Avenue to take a car in for service and saw a young lady near a bus stop waving an 86 47 protest sign. It looked something like this:

Thank goodness the young woman was a lefty. Otherwise, experts would have agreed to condemn her as a would-be assassin.

Later on, during my daily walk, I passed a silver-haired liberal woman proudly carrying a No Kings sign home under her arm. There’s another woman, at the top of the hill, who tacks No Kings posters all over her picket fence a couple of weeks before each protest.

Have you noticed that peaceful protests these days have become very much of a girl thing? I suppose that explains why protesters are complaining about injustice rather than rioting about it, as explained by my philosophical theory that women have a Culture of Complaint.

Philosophers agree that the word “riot” has been replaced with “peaceful protest” in regime media to align with women and their Culture of Complaint.

What do the organizers of the protests, Indivisible and “a network of about 500 groups with an estimated $3 billion in annual revenue,” think this is all about? Grok says:

The "No Kings" protests… are a series of large-scale, nationwide demonstrations against the second Trump administration, framed by organizers as resistance to authoritarianism, "tyranny," and policies they describe as favoring billionaires over ordinary people.

Okay, and pretty soon all the nation’s billionaires will be living in Florida, so the protesters will know where to find them.

Exactly. And if (God forbid), they get power back, they will have no problem with there being a king, as long as it’s theirs.

It most certainly does for them. As the links in my posts just above illustrate, one of the most effective weapons of the left, is to appropriate symbols and language, and use them for their own purposes.

It is a form of propaganda that they are quite good at.

Oh, yes. And they aren’t pulling any punches about that either. We can’t accuse them of trying to conceal their intentions, because they mouth them on a daily basis.

Exactly...I happened to be in the mudst of these idiots last year in our small town. At a sidewalk corner an older chick holding a sign smiled at me...I looked straight in her eyes and said “stupid.” You should have seen her face deflate!

The No Kings day explained:

No Kings explained for people who think they’re fighting fascism.

You’re standing in a crowd on Saturday. You look around and think yeah. No Kings. This is what democracy looks like.
Bro.

You’re holding a sign made by a communist billionaire who lives in Shanghai.

You live in a constitutional republic.
Elections. Term limits. A free press that spent four years calling the president a fascist without one journalist being arrested.

The modern left’s definition of fascism:
You love your country? Fascist.
You want to enforce the border? Racist.
You think parents should raise their kids? Bigot.
You want to know who’s voting in your elections? Jim Crow.
Being patriotic is fascism to the modern left.
But every country has borders and enforces them. 176 countries require ID to vote. That’s the definition of a country.

But the Democratic establishment told you otherwise. And you believed them.
Congress has a 15% approval rating. 80% of Americans disapprove. 97% of incumbents got re-elected.
Chuck Schumer. 46 years. Longer than Stalin.
Steny Hoyer. 45 years. Longer than Mao.
Mitch McConnell. 42 years. 5x more than Napoleon.
Nancy Pelosi. 39 years. Longer than Henry VIII.
Maxine Waters. 35 years. Longer than Mussolini.
Bernie Sanders. 35 years. Triple Hitler’s entire reign.
Trump. 5 years and 3 months. Won the popular vote and the electoral vote.

But Trump is the king. Okay buddy.
You don’t hate kings. You hate kings that aren’t yours.
And Saturday they had you in the streets carrying their water.

The Democratic Party installed a president without letting you vote. Biden quit on a Sunday. By Tuesday your queen was crowned.
No primary. No debate. No ballot. First time since 1968.
Three days before your march every Senate Democrat voted against photo ID to vote.

During COVID you carried a vaccine card everywhere like a hall pass from the government just to eat at a restaurant.
But getting a birth certificate or waiting two hours at the DMV to prove you’re a citizen before you vote? That’s oppression.

The Democratic Party is pro illegal immigration.
Counts non-citizens in the Census. Census determines congressional seats. More non-citizens means more seats means more power. No voter ID means no way to check.
That’s how you keep power without wearing a crown.
Biden built a censorship machine.
Pressured Facebook to suppress true information and admitted it in writing. Censored scientists. Censored doctors. Censored JOKES. The Biden White House told Facebook to remove “humor and satire.”
They literally went after people for making fun of them. UK does it better tho...

Everything they censored turned out to be right. They just outsourced the silencing to Silicon Valley.
And it doesn’t stop at speech.

The extreme left justifies taking children from families.
Six thousand schools rewrite children’s identities without telling parents. And the State has the right to intervene.
The Hitler Youth did this. Mao’s Red Guards did this. The Soviets built statues of a child who reported his own father.
Same playbook.

During Covid, your bakery got shut down. Church closed. You couldn’t hold your dying mother’s hand at the hospital.
But thousands packed together during BLM to burn Minneapolis and THAT was essential civic engagement. Obviously.
$2 billion in damage. 25 dead. 2,000 cops injured. 20 states burning. VP Kamala promoted a bail fund for the rioters. No investigation. No hearings.
January 6. One building. Few hours. 1,000 prosecuted. Two years of televised hearings.
Kings decide which violence counts. The left decided.
Charlie Kirk spent his life walking onto campuses asking for honest debate. He was assassinated.
CSIS terrorism database. 2025 is the first year in 30 years that left-wing attacks outnumber right-wing. Yet no one brings this up.
75% of liberal students say preventing a speaker from talking is justified. 27% say violence is acceptable.
Liberals who went to Trump rallies: “I never felt unsafe.” “The experience changed me.”
Conservatives who show up on liberal campuses get screamed at, blocked, and assassinated.
One side talks. The other side screams.
The Party for Socialism and Liberation marched with you Saturday.

Their stated purpose in their own words: “Revolution.” Not reform.
Marxism.
500 groups. $3 billion in revenue. Pre-printed signs. The signs were ready before you were angry.

That’s almost exactly what I told my wife when she asked me the same question.

Of course. I have probably read both of them at least 7 times over the years, but posting as much as I do, I get things wrong...:)

You knew what I meant!
