The 1994 Disney film the Lion King is illustrative. The hyenas do not like king Mufasa. Scar, Mufasa's brother, does not care for Mufasa or that Mufasa's cub Simba is next in line to be king. Scar appeals to the hyenas to kill Mufasa. To which the hyenas celebrate saying: "No king, no king, la la la la." Scar in disgust says, "Idiots! There will be a king. I will be king." To which the hyenas respond: "Yeah! All right! Long live the king!"

The "no king" protesters are useful idiots. They are incapable of intelligent thought. In their self-pity they make themselves pawns to to manipulated. They are given a cause and like the hyenas they gleefully embrace it because they are incapable of intelligent thought. No matter the contradictions of the cause they claim to represent, they soldier on to even greater misery.

I think you got this slightly wrong. The bulk of No Kings attendees were (apparently) seniors (senior Democrats). Multiple sites remarked on this. Powerline had video on this.

I have a mother in that sort of facility... the TV is on long all day with nothing but MSM as the news sources. The lie that Trump is going to severely cut Social Security and Medicare is widespread. These people are both ignorant idiots and they're scared.

Bitterly amusingly, just 15 years ago these very same people were part of the deification of that incompetent racist grifter Obama. Could they have made him king, I'm sure they would've.
