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.
It never really came up that I saw, but I would not be surprised to see the MSM use the presence of all those old people (and AWFLs) to run cover, so to speak, for any violent young people. Who were also present at some places (like say Salt Lake City).
I think that acronym AWFL needs some mention of wine drinking... DAWFLs (Drunken Affluent White Female Liberals)? AWFL drunks?
Seems like their minds were warped early, either by Woodstockian escapades, drugs, or the ease with which they subsequently were absorbed into work, house ownership and academia.
The "demographer/social commenters" drew the boundaries of Boomers so large that Trump and Obama are both in the Boomer cohort. So generational labels don't work.
Yes. As a Boomer myself (right in the middle), I've been fighting against the vilification of Boomers. However, even tho' virtually nothing of that vilification applies to me, people need a handy nom de guerre to when describing yet another group of ignorant idiots in today's society. So, OK, Boomers it is.
Excellent points. We had an 'organic' NK protest in our small town of 5,000 where 'organic' protesters were shipped in from miles away and I used the same arguments with some of them.
Didn't matter, simply anti-Trump which means anti- a clear majority of voters.
It is amazing how we have lost perspective on just what George Washington actually did. What he did by stepping aside to allow for a transition of leadership was simply unheard of at that point in history the world over. Our founders were remarkable on all fronts.
Oh, the irony of it all! If Trump really was a despot, fascist, & Hitler-like creature, those dumb rallies would have been summarily shut-down with their leaders imprisoned ... or worse.
So yet again, the lock-down Covidians & the no primary Harris apologists, have their definitions ass-backward. Which is a part of the reason these same maroons are on the wrong side of all of the 80%-20% issues which drive the meaningful narrative & truly move public opinion; rather than more public outbursts of crazy.
It's deprogramming. Sort of like they do with other radicals. I know economics professors from multiple colleges that have TDS. They cannot help themselves. Their TDS has turned into ElonDS or anything associated with Trump DS. It's sad
Yes, very sad. One of my neighbors is a 70 year old man who has severe TDS and looks very similar to the guy in the video whomping on the Trump doll. He always seems angry. No way to go through life!
Ironically, countries with Kings do not allow a "No Kings" protest day. Also, the permit request for the parade to honor the 250th birthday of the US Army (not Donald Trump's birthday 🤨🙄🤣)was filed during the Biden Administration last Summer, which seems to have escaped the grasp and notice of mainstream media and 99% of liberal Democrats.
There is no hypocrisy quite like liberal hypocrisy.
Term limits sound like a good idea until you recall there are no term limits on bureaucrats. Congress makes laws, bureaucrats and interested parties write the rules and regulations that give effect to the law and if you break rules or regulations you have broken the law. Nice grift they have set up for themselves huh?
You as a legislature want to amend the law or the rules and regs., they wait you out. After all, you're gone in a couple of years. Things can be delayed or slow-walked for that long. You as sentient, functioning person get the drift. When you are termed out or sooner you decide to stay in D.C. and pick up some serious dough as a lobbyist as most of your political bretheren have decided to do. Check on how many Sens, and Reps. come home after leaving office.

No kings protests should be called no brains.

Agree it is older people and Champagne/Chardonnay/Rose drinking women.

So many ex-hippies on screen at once.

Maybe Dopes is a better moniker...
Hey! I resemble that remark. As Curly would say. Yeah. I'm a boomer and a Stooges fan.
Not meaning this to apply to all boomers. Just noting the divergence in the so called (huge) demographic..
No worries. No umbrage taken. It was just a chance to work in the stooge remark.
Excellent points. We had an 'organic' NK protest in our small town of 5,000 where 'organic' protesters were shipped in from miles away and I used the same arguments with some of them.

Elites funded the No Kings protests, so the crazy old white protesters obviously prefer their kings to be rich and unelected.
As a Boomer, I say that it will be a great day when the dumb Boomers are no longer a political force. No Kings seems to be their last gasp.
Hopefully!
My local No Kings rally marched for a whopping 2 blocks LOL.
That’s as far as the old codgers could make it.
I hope it was at least downhill for them.
People like these protesters are Left-Wing Urban Hillbillies, and they are a plague upon the country.
They also purport to be against oligarchy.

Indeed, Mother Jones' tagline is "“a source that’s not owned and controlled by oligarchs."

Its been two whole days and still no king. Its working!

Well put. I wonder what JT would have to say!
How dare you use logic when debating the left.
Serious question: how do you reason with someone like this?? https://www.louderwithcrowder.com/no-kings-trump-doll-boomer?utm_source=LWCBlasts&utm_medium=email

Of the top 20 longest, 18 were democrats. No wonder democrats are often referred to as sheep!!

So . . . can I support terms limits? Not yet.
Jeff, are you comfortably ensconced in the U.P.?
Yup..hence, slash and burn the bureaucracy to bare bones. Headed to Minnesota in about a week.
