So me saying "we still don't have a king" is, indeed, sarcasm. 2. Social media is a cesspool and I very rarely use it. It seems you live there. 3. Was the purpose of the rallies not to protest against the perceived threat of a king, and supposed authoritarianism of a president you don't like? I fully understand the proposed purpose of these rallies, I am simply challenging the validity of them. I am further suggesting that the continual liberal rhetoric of king, hitler, threat to democracy, etc is far more central to this idea than anything the president has actually done. Once again, not an actual king, which is the point many folks keep missing or being intentionally obtuse with this Straw Man mischaracterization. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Speaking of obtuse I guess you didn’t read the complete sentence you bothered to bold or you would have read the words “perceived threat of…” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TimHauck 3,273 Posted yesterday at 12:55 AM I thought this was pretty good: TL/DW: 1) LOL at Fox News complaining about “old white people complaining about stuff” 2) Trump isn’t a King, but he’s “king-adjacent,” and some of the stuff he’s done is eerily similar to some of the complaints from the Declaration of Independence. 3) Calling Trump a King is actually a downgrade from what much of MAGA thinks of him as: a God (look no further than the “Father Trump” thread here) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Democrats are, to my surprise, winning this battle. On November 1st the new ACA premiums will lock into place. At that point Republicans may want to surrender.

Gepetto 1,444 Posted 15 hours ago The "No Kings" protests appear to have been local demonstrations, with reports of "thousands rally at 'No Kings' demonstrations across US" and "No Kings Day 2.0' rally brings out thousands in Charlottesville". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AMENCANIGETAHALLELUJAH! From the Declaration of Independence, referencing the king against which we were about to rebel: Quote He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance. He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation: For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us: For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world: For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent: For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury: For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences: He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
