The No Kings Protest Is Gonna Fall Flat (Again)… Here Are 7 Reasons Why
Remember that line about making 'fetch' happen? That's what's happening here
The left has been knocked back on its heels… hard, while defending the losing proposition on a list of political issues that are kicking their tails. They need SOME kind of a win to help them regroup, and this is their big play.
The left has lost control of the narrative. They are looking for a pivot of some kind, ANY kind to ‘change the channel’ and take back the initiative.
There are two ways a political party can attempt that. The first, is to highlight something you do well, a bold idea you have, or a policy that makes you better than the other guy. Unfortunately for the Dems, both the last election and recent polls show that approach is an uphill climb.
The other option is to smear the other guy. They tried that for years, and yet despite throwing every dirty trick they could at him, and calling him every name in the book including ‘literally Hitler’, he was re-elected.
They WANT to use that strategy, but they’ve got themselves a credibility crisis. They need someone ELSE to do the denouncing, and make it look authentic.
Elected Democrats promoted the protests this weekend. Late nite ‘comedy’ acts promoted the protests this weekend. There were coordinated efforts to really make sure this ‘No Kings’ protest got some traction and made some noise.
There’s a lot at stake for Democrats.
We’re talking about how Dems have been shamelessly redistricting to make sure that Republicans get no representation even in states where they make up 40% of the vote… while claiming to be the defenders of Democracy. We’re talking about only lawful citizens being counted in how we draw the electoral maps, which would cost blue strongholds over a dozen Congressional seats, perhaps almost 20. We’re talking about Democrat slush funds loosely disguised as NGOs getting starved of their partisan funding, and government-funded propaganda ranging from mandatory DEI and gender-is-a-spectrum training all the way to hard partisan Public Broadcasting getting blocked from feeding at the taxpayer trough.
They need social proof and they need it now. And right on cue, the ‘No Kings’ rally shows up at a bunch of cities… and (weirdly) worldwide, too.
Here are some reasons this particular rally might fall flat.
ONE
WHOOPS: Their foreign support for the ‘no kings’ rally had to issue a disclaimer.
TWO
The public has caught onto the Crowd-for-sale tactic of serial protesters showing up at event after event… and getting paid to do so. And we’ve got evidence that this protest was more of the same.
THREE
We’ve ALL seen who attends these protests. The median age for a bunch of these is what… seventy-three? Were they given a free Medic Alert just for showing up?
And for supposed ‘concerned citizen’ Dems, they’re shockingly monochromtic. If it were a Republican event, you’d all be making a big deal out of that. But somehow, you’re not when it’s you doing it.
How interesting.
FOUR
Dems have ZERO credibility on the issue of ‘tyranny’.
We all LIVED through the pandemic where you bullied people into getting shots ‘or else’, with or else being everything from loss of employment, to exclusion from society to being refused life-saving medical procedures.
We saw how you shut down churches while keeping strip clubs open. How you listened to teachers unions and not parents about opening schools. How 90-some-odd conservative groups were investigated by the FBI… but Jane’s Revenge who firebombed churches and pro-life clinics while threatening to do worse still if they didn’t get their way… never faced charges.
We remember how AOC and Ilhan Omar refused to denounce Maduro back in 2019, whereas the most recent Peace Prize recipient got the award for her opposition to him in support of reviving Democracy there. (Remember how Bernie Sanders once PRAISED Venezuela as the real home of the American Dream on his official Senate page? He wiped it, but the Internet is Forever.)
Five
Closely related to the previous point, you have contempt for your own voters.
Bernie Sanders was cheated out of being the Dem candidate in 2016 AND in 2020, by nothing less than insider politics, because they didn’t think he could beat Trump.
In 2024, the Party machine destroyed any would-be candidates (even running RFK into the waiting arms of the GOP) that might challenge their Weekend-At-Bernies candidate who eventually had the rug pulled out from under him when Trump nuked him from orbit in the debate.
Kamala was pushed into the spot without so much as a single primary picking her for their a Primary candidate in her entire life.
Six
We’ve seen how absolutely unhinged these people can be.
Seven
We know that they have exactly ZERO principles and would gladly reverse their positions in a heartbeat the second it became expedient for them to switch sides.
As perfectly depicted in this blast-from-the-past found by fellow traveller, Politibunny.
Does anyone remember CNN being up-in-arms about that back in the day?
Nope.
No more than they are today about the open calls for violence.
