Only in America could a group of protesters gather under the banner of “No Kings”, all while accusing others of tyranny, and do so without fear of punishment. That is precisely the beauty of the Republic our Founders created. A true king would not tolerate such protests. Real kings would silence dissent. But in America, even when the message is misguided or downright offensive, free citizens have the right to speak their minds, so long as they do so peacefully.
Unfortunately, peace is not the Left’s strong suit.
The radical Left is tainted with recent political violence. They target police officers, ICE agents, and anyone tasked with enforcing the laws that keep Americans safe. They destroy property and hurl insults (and sometimes far worse) at anyone who disagrees. It was not the conservative populists who turned protests into riots, who assaulted innocent people for wearing red MAGA hats, or who threatened the families of political opponents.
Just look at how far the rhetoric has gone. A Democrat candidate for Attorney General in Virginia once bragged about his fantasies of murdering his political rivals and their children. That is the opposite of political expression. That is what real tyranny looks like.
And yet, these same voices continue to call President Trump an aspiring “king.”
Give these people a mirror and a history book. The Constitution and Declaration of Independence were written precisely to get the US away from a King system.
President Trump has endured more hoaxes, smears, and politically motivated prosecutions than any American leader in modern history. Kings weaponize the law to silence dissent and maintain power. That is exactly what has been done to Trump for years. The Left’s ongoing lawfare campaigns are real “weaponization” of our justice system for political gain. Several officials already won office on such promises. Democratic officials are still literally campaigning to throw Trump and members of his Administration in jail should they reassume power.
Even as their hypocrisy piles up, the far-left anarchists behind the “No Kings” rally keep shouting about equality and justice while vandalizing and terrorizing.
A king would crush dissent. But today, it’s the Democrats who crush accountability.
The Democrats, scared of the monster they have created, are voting repeatedly to keep the government shut down, holding the livelihoods of everyday Americans hostage to try to appease a mob of domestic agitators. These protesters throw urine at officers, disrupt peaceful cities, and call it “free speech.”
This is the opposite of free speech. This is chaos, and it’s disgusting.
Meanwhile, Hollywood elites like Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel are cheerleading the “No Kings” rally by turning late-night comedy into propaganda hour for America’s enemies. Both men have every right to speak their minds, but they are not speaking to their viewers anymore, instead they are pandering to the fringe. Kimmel clearly learned nothing from his past suspension, and Colbert didn’t learn a thing from his own cancellation.
And where are the executives in charge? CBS’s new parent, David Ellison, and Disney, which has become a haven for woke messaging, seem content to promote these anti-American ideals. Apparently, Communists, atheists, Antifa radicals, and pro-Hamas activists are now the target demographic for “mainstream” entertainment.
These individuals participating in and promoting these rallies are hardly champions of freedom. They’re funded and fueled by the same powerful interests that want to rule like kings. These are unelected elites who dream of rewriting the very foundations of our Republic.
The Democrats keeping this government shut down are not defending democracy. They’re eroding it. They’re handing power to the mob. A real king would at least keep his government running.
America is not a monarchy. America remains the greatest nation on Earth. Our Founders guaranteed us freedom of speech, the right to live in peace, and the chance to pursue prosperity without bowing to anyone. But those freedoms come with responsibility.
The “No Kings” protesters should take a hard look at what they’re doing. Because if they keep tearing down the principles that built this country, they just might wake up one day under the rule of the very kind of king they claim to despise.
