After No Kings

 “No King’s Day.” I am glad I participated. I am impressed that the unofficial count states that I joined approximately 7 million other Americans, peacefully, and within our Constitutional rights of Free Speech, and the Right to Peacefully Protest. I know a great statement had been proclaimed, I know our voices were loud, but what I am uncertain of is what exactly comes next.

As far as Trump was concerned, his response to this Patriotic activity. ‘King Trump’ shares AI video of protesters being bombed with feces. US president posts video of himself with a crown less within 24 hours of saying ‘I am not a king.’ (The Telegraph)

With questions regarding the state of Trump’s mental health, I am sure no one has an inkling as to what he thought, or even thinks, and probably no idea of how loathed he is, as he is bathed in adoration by his sycophants, who are prioritizing their political power above and beyond, the welfare of the people, and the health of our democracy! 

A perfect example of Trump’s desire to not only become King, but to become Führer rears its ugly, nasty face, each and every day. Trump's Secret Police Shot a Citizen. Then Damning New Info Emerged. This sort of industrial-scale deception would be far more difficult to pull off if Republicans hadn’t wholly crippled Congress’s oversight function on Trump’s behalf. (The New Republic)

We must resist Trump, but the more dangerous dilemma we face is the fact that the Republican Party gives zero shits about guardrails, and so far, the Heritage Foundation Supreme Court has eagerly assisted with Trump’s reign. 

“No King’s Day” is now behind us, but our resistance must be focused not only on Trump’s Fascist machinations, but we must also resist all of his Fascist leaning cohorts who are in positions of power.
