MAGAts Are Supremely Triggered By "No Kings" Protests

I've never seen them come out in force on the local FB and NextDoor like they are now. Just agitated beyond belief!

Main complaints from the knuckle-draggers:

1) if Rump was a king, you couldn't have the protest, so there!
2) No Kings day is July 4th dummies
3) everybody the turned out is old, from a nursing home or dementia ward
4) what policies are they even protesting?
5) I've lived around here all my life and I didn't recognize anyone so they are all out-of-towners

The level of cluelessness just never ceases to amaze me.

I don't usually do NextDoor... I mainly have it for when my huge dog, the escape artist, runs away from home. BUT everything I've seen over the last few days has been favorable to the No Kings protests, and especially to the one in Platte City, MO and the one I attended in KcK. There are also a lot of people who don't give a crap about what anybody says or writes, and they're just flat out calling trump out as a traitor, a dictator, a pedophile, and add your imagination. I've been proud to see it, because I KNOW we're surrounded my republicans AND hard core magats around here. My neighbor across the street finally took down his Trump Flag, but he still has the thin blue line flag up... and I'm still not talking to him. I just don't trust myself.

In 1776, we fought against a mad king.
In 2025, we do it all over again.

There's a poster somewhere. Lunch beats image search.

but, as my DH pointed out to me....no counter-protests.

No real argument other than "I adore the orange man and hate everyone else!".

He was at the No Kings in Phoenix--he's pissed off about the Trump Epstein Files Cover-up. And he was pardoned by Dementia J.

1) if Rump was a king, you couldn't have the protest, so there!

No one said he is. We said we want no kings, and we did have the protest (again), so your point is moot.

2) No Kings day is July 4th dummies

No, that's Iindependence Day. It recognizes the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776. Have you ever taken a class in U.S. history?

3) everybody the turned out is old, from a nursing home or dementia ward

You went to all 2,700 protest sites and asked every person at each their age and place of residence?

4) what policies are they even protesting?

What policies does The Felon have? Yeah, those.

5) I've lived around here all my life and I didn't recognize anyone so they are all out-of-towners

You got close enough to every person at the protest in your city to see if you recognized them? And you know every Democrat who lives there? Also, so what? They were still protesting The Felon, weren't they? Where they came from to do that is irrelevant.

plus Marxists and Communists and terrorists and paid performers who go from fake rally to fake rally and besides, there werem't that many people in the streets, that was fake news and AI and Photoshopping, it was just one crowd of people pasted into the street over and over again because there can't be that many people who disagree with Our Lard and Savior, that would be impossible, he has been anointed by GAWD.

Yes, they're exactly that delusional.

1) if Rump was a king, you couldn't have the protest, so there!
- fuck right off with that noise motherfucker, did you NOT hear the run up to the protests when they started field testing new boogeyman words and labels like "DTOs" (domestic terrorist organizations) or "anyone protesting should be arrested"? I know they feel warm and fuzzy and assured that only the black and brown people will be arrested and they don't REALLY ocunt anyway....but eventually the dictator comes for EVERYONE and fears ANYONE who makes a peep... its not about where we ARE you room temperature IQ pieces of Samsonite... its about the direction we are being taken.

2) No Kings day is July 4th dummies
- nope, that is "Happy Treason Day" from the Queen (and sadly now her idiot eldest son)...

3) everybody the turned out is old, from a nursing home or dementia ward
- I am not "old" yet...unless you ask my 18 year old daughter, who will insist that I am cringe and not allowed to say certain words or make certain gestures...my DAD is 83 and does suffer from progressive dementia, so maybe they were mistaking his piss and vinegear stance toward this administration for someone else? And FUCK THEM for the implicit idea that anyone over a certain age's opinion does not count when their own fucking emperor/god is a demented and addled fool with classic symptoms of 'sundowner syndrome' to boot!

4) what policies are they even protesting?
ICE
Tariffs
SCOTUS
DOGE
International mockery and agitation of allies
Being made fools in the international community
That ALONE is enough to have Trump removed, imprisoned and banned from public office in any sane nation or at least any one dedicated to its people and not the power of one political party with bad ideas, unpopular policies and a very interesting relationship with both the truth and repressed love of dictatorships.
JV Vance
Kash and Karry Patel
Puppy Killing BOTOX abusers
Illegal Immigrant wives and family getting a pass
Illegal gifts / bribes accepted
Being a Russian Stooge
Not being shot / Not actually winning / Being ALL OVER the files...


5) I've lived around here all my life and I didn't recognize anyone so they are all out-of-towners
- you did not recognize them because they have all stopped going out of their way to talk to you and avoid you like the plague because they see your red hats and flags and signs and (rightly) assume that to acknowledge you or engage in debatae with you would be as effective as pissing into the wind. We (and they) are 100% DONE WITH YOUR SHIT. I am sure that you are bright enough to understand that no matter WHERE the MILLIONS were from, they were ALL AMERICANS first. And they all hate your choices and your cult leader. Some might retain compassion for you (although I AM NOT IN THAT HOST - I hope you all fucking starve or die of preventable diseases following your insane anti-rational thought il duce.

Now, fuck right off and have a shitty day, but know they only get worse for you from here on out. Trump is a few months away from being a lame duck. After that he will try to force a way to violate the Constitution and run again but he will fail and after the Congress is returned to the adults next November, he will be impeached again an offer your pathetic party one final chance to do what's right and toss him the fuck overboard and attempt to retain a voice in the repair job that will be America 2028.

Loved a middle age man who was kinda behind but next to me who was there with his wife and the couple met another couple. Loved him, he’d just yell stuff about posters, or he say “thanks for coming out” to the younger ones. He was a Marine. I loved him yelling that about thanks for coming.....he must have said that at least 20—--25 times and mostly to the students. It was a great crowd, and was huge compared to the June one, huge. I use felt so proud to be a part of it.

No, they live right by you. They have just been avoiding your sorry MAGAT ass, taking great effort not to have their daily lives disrupted by your nasty politics.

The people you hate have learned to be invisible around you, that's all.
