I attended the downtown local No Kings Day festivities in Northampton, Massachusetts, and estimate that some 1,500 people came out. I liked the crowds but
We need to swiftly transform No Kings from a Democratic Party spectacle to a grass roots resistance movement.
Article has a point. No kings should embrace local activists who are actually doing things on the ground rather than the corporate politicians who got us in this mess in the first place.
Also be nice to see it turn into kind of a grassroots movement rather than acting as a relief valve for political action.
In the town I was in, there was no notable aspect of Democratic politics whatsoever. Where are you getting that No Kings is tied to the Democratic party?
If you aren’t leveraging this to get political power back from Republicans then there is no point in the protest. Its not a revolution, its to drum up anti trump sentiment then directed into the mid terms to remove republicans from power.

It’s the kind of conclusion a person comes to if they only think in binary terms.
They can’t imagine being agaist one political party as being anything other than directly supporting that party’s opponent.

the commies will come and ruin this lovely consensus to the benefit of their authoritarian chums
