Fox News host Jesse Watters has slammed No Kings protesters as ignorant trend-chasers who had “no idea why they’re there” — after admitting that his own mother was among their ranks.
Here’s a question: Out of the ~7 million participants, does it ring true that these people fail to understand what the phrase “No Kings” means?
I think the average eight- or nine-year-old has learned in school what the American Revolution was all about. The colonists were sick of being ruled by–that’s right–a king.
Most Americans don’t want a president who, like a king, is above the law, especially one who:
• Pardons violent criminals who happen to support him.
• Illegally gathers power into the executive branch by diminishing the power of the legislative and judiciary branches.
• Uses the Justice Department to punish his enemies.
• Appoints completely unqualified people to cabinet positions.
• Destroys our country’s efforts to clean up our energy and transportation sectors while supporting megadonors in fossil fuels.
• Dismantles all aspects of the federal government that provide help to the common American.
• Kick tens of millions of American citizens off healthcare.
• Jeopardize all Americans’ health and wellbeing by doing violence to government departments that study disease, research cancer, administer vaccines, etc.
It’s easy to see why Trump’s approval is tanking; Americans have lost their taste for an authoritarian, especially this conman. It’s as simple as that.
As Anyone Could Have Predicted, Fox News Slams the “No Kings” Participants
A friend from Texas writes: It’s been an interesting week! A lot to reflect on. And Texas seems to be the epicenter. Folks are pretty flabbergasted over the defeat of all statewide Republican candidates (including state supreme court justices) and the election of a Democratic party-controlled state house.
Yes, Texas blew everyone’s mind. I think what the GOP experienced was a double-whammy if you will.
Consumer prices are high, due at least in part to Trump’s inane and illegal war in Iran. This is impacting the lives of working class Americans.

I’m pleased to be able to report that many people still have a conscience, which causes them to reject the GOP’s cruelty, dishonesty, dismissal of science, and criminality.
As shown here, white men, especially uneducated white men, are still not able to see that Trump is terrible for America.
If the last two years didn’t change that, it appears that nothing will.
The vast majority of Americans are thrilled that the midterms brought us the “blue tsunami,” but there are a couple of things that don’t really add up. You may have noticed that:
The U.S. wants a random alcoholic Fox News “journalist’s” head on the plate for having orchestrated the war in Iran, when all he was doing was pursuing his loyalty to Donald Trump, the man who started this asinine and grossly illegal war.
There seems to be no effort to cause Trump, who tried to violently overthrow the U.S. federal government, to face accountability for his treasonous acts.
What’s up with the media? Is there a concerted effort to avoid the facts? What’s the problem with honesty, and telling Americans the truth? Isn’t this the clearest instance of gaslighting in our history? Are we now trying to pretend that Trump never existed?
If such a landslide victory against a would-be autocrat had happened anywhere else on Earth, that traitor would be in prison now, in most cases facing execution.
