> The flavor of the week is that No Kings is a Disneyfied faux protest.

It's strange to ignore all of the actual criticisms, such as that they are protests with absolutely no demands, and that they're arranged by Democratic Party insiders using spam farms. The reason they're called "No Kings" is because nobody knows what that's supposed to mean. It was consciously concocted as an alternative to fighting the "oligarchs" as Sanders constantly said, because Democrats support oligarchs.

> with the most recent attracting 8 to 9 million is in itself a huge accomplishment.

It's not. They're just faithful movement Democrats walking together in the street trying to figure out different ways to yell "fuck Trump." They're a mockery of protests, they're just extremely ineffective marketing.

They wouldn't be tiresome if they were easy to answer for you. Accusing people of just complaining about people and things not being "perfect" is a sign of somebody who doesn't even have a dishonest argument to make, so they're resorting to making no argument at all, and instead calling you a snob.

this is not a serious rebuttal.

Ah yes, the tried and true "they are paid protestors" shtick. Yawn.

> The reason they're called "No Kings" is because nobody knows what that's supposed to mean.

It's very simple - Trump acts like a king, wielding his power however he wants while ignoring any checks and balances. People are very much against that for obvious reasons.

> because Democrats support oligarchs.

curious what your thoughts are on Elon Musk and DOGE

> trying to figure out different ways to yell "fuck Trump."

Yea there's no reason why anyone would have legitimate issues with Trump as a president.. He certainly doesn't provide new ones on a daily basis
