So I Went To a No Kings Rally Today

 

So I did something today I never ever felt like I would have to do. I went to a rally. One of the many No Kings rallies. Before I get too far into it, let’s address the tropiest of the rally tropes.

Yes, on an individual level, attending any political rally doesn’t change the world. Policies don’t all of a sudden change, injustices aren’t undone. Agreed. It’s an individual action. And sure, when many millions of individuals attend such rallies, the optic is great, but it’s fair to question just what really changes. But if there’s one thing that is always uber important to the MAGAts is numbers. Specifically, the highest of numbers and the lowest of numbers. With that logic, I actually agree with them on a few of the highs and lows:

Actually, he looks better.

The highest and the most:

Most numbers of felonies of a president

Most mentions in the Epstein files

Most days in a government shutdown

Most presidential pardons-

Also leading to the most arrests of previous pardons; mostly for drugs and diddling kids

Highest unemployment

Most impeached president-of all time!

Highest gas prices, only trending higher

Highest national debt, only trending higher

Most hats worn inappropriately

Most televised naps

Most meaningless awarded president

Highest numbers of days golfing, which of course leads to

Most Mar a Lago golf championships won!

Fuck, do you really need me to keep going?

 

The lowest and the least:

Lowest presidential approval numbers, so bad MAGA had to buy Gallop to stop reporting the sub 30% numbers

Least amount of taxes filed

Lowest amount of campaign promises delivered

Lowest golf score on any course on the east coast. And just for context on this, since 1/20/25, Orange Judas has been golfing over 24% of his term. At a cost of more than $90 million to the US tax payers. 

Least amount of responsibility for any bad decisions he made

Lowest amount of TSA employees paid

 

We all on the same page now? Good.

 

Look, let’s give the Orange Goblin some credit. He has been truly masterful at identifying his demographic and empowering them. That demo of course being the scared, stupid, racist, antisemite, misogynist, incel, snowflake, weak, ignorant. We do owe him a debt for inadvertently exposing all the morons among us. Ever hear the term “nazi’ as much when he wasn’t president? No. You remember all the millions of people organizing protests against Biden, Obama, either Bush, Clinton? Nope.

I'm not a Flyers fan, but I would happily let Gritty be my Orange Overlord.

You’re free to disagree with any of the above. For research, I will point you to the comments section of any No Kings post. All snowflakes crowing about their felon king. I guess they’re also onboard with gas prices going north of $4? (Which of course will spike the price of just about everything else.) 401ks shrinking? Weakening environmental policies? How easy they clung to Pizza Gate, yet how hard they ignore the Epstein files. It’s truly sad, but not surprising these snowflakes feel enabled to talk shit, while their very rights are being taken away. Some of the people some of the time…

How important this time is in history. People who literally can't stand are making their stand in 45 degree weather. That's how much this means to her. 

What’s left of legit media will report with great vigor the numbers and visuals on the NK rallies. Right wing media will largely ignore it like they did Trump’s heinous Robert Mueller tweet. Stay classy, MAGA! You wear your hypocrisy better than your made in China MAGA dunce hats. Pretend president will watch and sulk, likely rage tweet. I fully expect him to go off about today. The Iran war will continue to get messy, prices will continue to rise, unemployment. But, yep, No Kings is the real issue. It’s our fault. I wish the people still falling for this distraction will buy the Brooklyn Bridge from me. Sorry, the Trump Brooklyn Bridge.

OK, so my first rally thoughts:

Unofficial results; approximately 65% support in the form of horns honking, lights flashing, thumbs up/fist pumps in the car, positive yelling from the cars.

I only saw 3 negative reactions; 2 fingers and one thumbs down

If I saw 9 Teslas, 5 of them honked in support

Organizers said there were “a lot more protesters this time than last time.”

I am shocked there were no car accidents.

 

I’m glad I went. I do feel hope and optimism for the immediate future, though those tend to be very empty emotions. I felt the sense of camaraderie and belonging. I showed up, waved my sign, celebrated the support, laughed at the fingers, felt encouraged. Still 5/5. Would go again. We’re still left with what did we change? Will those honks equate to votes? As far as what next. Primaries happen between May and August.

See you there?
