Imagine having your brain so pickled in MAGA slop that you think the biggest protests in U.S. history are because people are just being mean to Republicans.
What a sad and demented worldview.

Implicitly explicit
Not being in favour of war with Iran does not equal support of their oppressive regime, it is oerfectly possible to be against both. You are not arguing honestly.
The protesters aren't predominantly Republicans, obviously. Republicans were always a bit slow, but many of them are startning to come around:
The election system always lacked integrity. It has just become a little more obvious after billionaires started to openly buy politicians, elections and media.
It never stopped being a representative democracy. That's what was always wrong with it, and it's what has been used to turn it into the country owned by the Epstein class that it is today.
Who has broken almost each and every campaign promise, recently not least the one about being a man of peace, which just goes to show that the USA is indeed a representative democracy.
In some countries, like Spain and my own, it's No Tyrants! In others, it's No Dictators!. And it's today.

Certain posters in the past have chided us for supposedly generalizing folks who voted for Trump as transphobic, bigoted poo-heads, and asked us to consider the possibility that they might have had valid concerns.
Now those same posters are telling us that the No Kings protestors are generally brainwashed hypocrites driven by unreasoning TDS and Republiphobia, while refusing to consider the possibility that they might have valid concerns.

Over 3% of my (small) city's population turned out for today's No Kings rally. For the first two, the percentages were about 2% and 2.5%.
I counted only four middle fingers from passing drivers and passengers. That's a huge drop from the first No Kings rally. It is of course possible that my observation of such things was influenced by my position on the sidewalk. With the larger rally, I was a bit displaced from where I stood for the first one.

The maga cultists are like full time schizophrenics. Schizophrenic people generally only hallucinate sometimes and some can recognize the things they are seeing and hearing aren't real and just made up in their heads.
Maga makes ◊◊◊◊ up in their head, or hear ◊◊◊◊ another Maga made up in their head and run with it full time like it's real. Walking, talking, and acting every day based on these hallucinations. You can't have a functional society when 1/4 of the population lives in an alternate reality of collective delusion headed by lifelong lying, criminal, pedophile conmen.

On yt the ratio of Maga takes VS contra Maga has shifted. One declares small victories as the other redouble efforts to insult the other and point out " hypocrisy " among the anti Trump movement.
This war or three, budget and benefit cuts and rising costs affect even the reddest former support.
Reports of the last Maga flag coming down in Texass towns
Then the midterms voting results are speaking volumes. The shift in congress, if reluctant or to only save a career, are killing support from higher levels.
Changes are happening now. The resistance to these changes is getting more desperate and borderline unconstitutional if not entirely.
Keep up the good fight, it's working.

"What comes next" the experts ponder after millions of people pour into the streets in record numbers to express visceral hatred for the policies of a fascists regime. It's quite the mystery.

I know this is anecdotal, but I'm increasingly seeing people talk positively about violence in YouTube comments, directly or indirectly (joking about guillotines, invoking France of 1789, etc.).

Ironically using 'we' instead of 'I' while denying he's a king is actually pretty advanced for Drumpf. Maybe some minion gave him the idea?

The protests went mostly without incident, but the liberals encountered a setback when Lady Liberty was found at a protest and promptly arrested.

In my mind, and probably not least among the reasons for believing trump's approach is autocratic,
- the number of executive orders issued in this first year is already astronomical. Ruling by decree does not help any argument the No Kings "narrative"
Can you think of any other president in history who has repeatedly told you how absolute his authority is? Even if these things are not true, does it not give you some pause that he continues to declare them?
