I'm not a protest type. But the casual dismissal of #NoKings as mere lefty cope, or the active smeering it as anti-American, is, well, anti-American. Protest is a great American tradition. The ongoing assault on the Constitutional order deserves, at least, this, from all of us.

I'm just staggered by conservative friends who can't find their tongues to say a thing publicly about Trump's lawlessness (they will say plenty privately), but eagerly take to social media to mock #NoKings.

You have a right to protest and I have a right to mock your idiocy. That's American.

They aren’t protesting a great injustice against American citizens. They are upset Trump is removing 15,000,000 foreign invaders. They had no problem when the vegetable let the border door swing wide violating our sovereignty. It’s a bunch of useful idiots.

Your former colleagues on the moderate right who sold their souls to throw in with MAGA have no choice but to sneer. The alternative is they admit they were wrong. And they’ll never do it. Trump could declare martial law and set himself up as a dictator and they’d defend it.

Trump was elected by the people. Now he is enacting his campaign promises. Constitutional disputes are being sorted out in the courts, like they always are. Trump's admin has not defied final rulings from the USSC. You are protesting the results of an election, not a king.

Seeing mass amounts of people protesting is medicinal. Too bad Republican media doesn’t want people to see them much, or at all if possible. Corporate Oligarch owned Media are a damn shame. You will answer.

Protest is great. But we live in a country so wealthy and well off that people have to fabricate reasons to protest so they can make themselves feel important. It’s gross and we should denounce it

Except it is indeed both lefty cope and anti-American. There is no danger of a king, and leftism is inherently hateful of America.

@grok did @greggnunziata ever criticize those who dismissed Trump rallies or people who caused violence against Trump rally attendees, and if not does that constitute anti-Americanism under his above stated definition?

I don’t understand what a protest is supposed to accomplish. It just seems like a way to say “look how big our side is.” But the real contest of which side is bigger happens on Election Day.

They're not against the concept of kings. They're just upset their people aren't on the throne.

I am the "protesting type;" I joined a few protests while I was a student at Berkeley. I voted against Trump every time. But objectively speaking: the "No Kings" protests are 100% USDA Prime lefty cope.

What do you want us to do? This blob is a teacher apparently. Nobody owes her respect, she doesn't deserve any
These people are seriously sick. A left wing No Kings protestor with a Mexican flag gives a gesture of a buIIet in the neck to a Charlie Kirk fan

Actually that IS what America is about. America allows disagreement, mockery, and dissent and/or dismissal. You can say "no kings" and we can make fun of you. It goes both ways. ❤️

You're contradicting yourself. 🤣 Lefties can peacefully protest all they want (and really, this is the first time in a long time that they've done so peacefully), but to claim the rest of us can't say what we want about the silliness and unimportance of what they choose to protest is hypocritically , well, unAmerican.

Protest is not a great tradition at all. Most involve some amount of violence, disruption or nuisance. It is the lowest form of expression, not rising to the level of speech as social intercourse, and closer to a yell, grunt or fart.

If the protest is about highlighting actions this administration has taken that violate the Constitution, that is wonderful, but it’s not just limited to that or there would not have been foreign flags at the protests.

I don't think of myself as a "protest type" but when the moment calls for me to stand in the sun or rain for two hours and listen to lame speakers and then march wherever we're told to go, I do it if the political moment calls for it. And I've been doing it since the 1960s.

The dismissal of the No King's cos-play event is no less American that the cos-play event itself. If you can protest, we can counter protest, the same way we can be dismissive and mock the event. Free speech and all. If you truly believed in American freedoms, you would agree.

The criticism is that it was anti-Trump. And it was. It was a way to gin up and remind progressives of their hatred before elections. Because Democrats know Trump hatred is a motivator.

I don’t think they’re anti American because they’re protesting. I think they’re anti American because they, generally, hate America. I think they’re retarded for this protest, but that’s about as far as it goes. Most of them have no idea why they’re there, they’re just against all things Trump. And before that, all things Romney. And before that all thing McCain (before they loved him for voting for the ACA). And before that they hated Bush. They’re partisan dipshits. That’s it.
