Gotta say...never really understood the "No Kings" theme. The USA was formed based on the notion, weve fought multiple wars over it. No matter how you feel about Trump, he was democratically elected, won every single swing state, and won the popular vote.
Maybe pick up a history book before creating idiotic themes
Jonah Goldberg nails it here.
Yea...I have no idea where this comes from. I dont know a single right winger that feels this way about Trump.
Also, what is the goal of this protest? What outcome are they looking to achieve?
Not sure what you mean about "where it comes from." If you mean the source, Goldberg is the founder of the right-center Dispatch, and whose bona fides WRT his conservative stances on all manners of topics are well-established.
If you're saying his opinions don't align with most Republicans that's not in dispute. His opinions are well-reasoned though, and there's obviously a subset of the right/center and a very high proportion of the left that feels the way he does.
As far as what the protests hope to achieve, same as any other protest I'm sure - raise awareness around the level of concern across the country for the lack of apparent democratic accountability in the Trump administration.
Political leaders have a harder time ignoring grievances if they believe there may be an electoral price to pay for their actions or inactions.
