And they wonder why we have "No Kings" marches

TRUMP: “I am allowed to destroy a country. I am even allowed to impose a destructive embargo on a foreign country. I can do whatever I want.”

WE are not the ones who "hate America". Those who "hate America" are those who allow a tyrant to destroy the United States and expect us to sit idly and quietly by and watch.

No Kings still make a statement though. A middle finger to the monster.

Will the marches sway MAGAt's? maybe less than 5%. BUT will they help sway Independent voters? I believe yes to a much larger percentage. And the biggest fish in the pond will they help sway the non voter? I believe they will have the biggest impact on that so so very important Demographic because every march has a massive voter registration drive. Those who sat out ARE THE FISH we need to go after because they are THE LARGEST demographic as a whole numbering over 90 million. Those are the people the marches will sway most, those are the people we need most. More than switching any repukes to our side and definitely more than any MAGAt, both complete traitors to this country as far as I'm concerned. Yes we need to march and we need to "fish" where the most "fish" are, those who didn't register and/or sat out of elections. Thats where its at IMHO!

Is by bringing democrat community together. It makes us feel better at a time we feel very alone. And it shows we do care what is happening to our country.

4. They allow a tyrant to destroy the United States, yet call themselves "patriots."

They take sadistic and bigoted pleasure in that tyrant destroying lives, and they oppose polices that improve the lives of anyone who isn't wealthy, yet call themselves "Christians."

Those are just some of the puzzles solved by concluding that they are simply full of shit. And it has a name: right-wing propaganda.

I believe this may be the fourth time she’s jumped into a ‘No Kings’ thread. Same pushback as the other threads.

How Can I Miss You When You Won’t Go Away



I've talked to your mother and I've talked to your dad
They say they've tried but it's all in vain
I've begged and I've pleaded, I even got mad
Now we must face it, you give me a pain

How can I miss you when you won't go away?
Keep telling you day after day
But you won't listen, you always stay and stay
How can I miss you when you won't go away?
