Is past it's use-by date. And far too polite to describe what's happening.
Besides, the kings that really pissed off their people usually didn't last long. I can't think of any king who carried on the way tsf does and didn't end up deposed with prejudice.

Maybe a single word - modern, assertive....I don't really know what fires people up to get some People Power going. Maybe just start calling it that. It worked for Corazon Aquino, in Ukraine and I guess other places.

(100,133 posts)I still have some of the t-shirts around, tho I dont recall if they have the slogan on them.
My personal grievance is a severe lack of political protest music in this century. The right kind of music gets people unified.

People Power. It's dynamic and true. Power returned to the people.

(55,524 posts)so successful that it should be used again to remind the same 5-11 million protesters to march on Oct 18th. It's the same theme/idea.
Over 2,100 are already planned and this will be even larger than the original NO KINGS.

(1,252 posts)- in all fifty states respectfully disagree. The name still resonates with the perception of our Founding Fathers that, We the People, will not tolerate subjugation to one individual, sane or, as in Trumps case, seriously deranged.
