Of course, the GOP wants the world to regard the “No Kings” protesters as “terrorists.” But how successful can this possibly be?
In a few days, approximately 10 million peaceful protestors, most of them in the United States, but many in countries all around the globe, will be out peacefully sharing their viewpoints that Donald Trump is dragging the U.S. ever closer to the status of authoritarian state, and that this is incompatible with the Constitution, the intent of the Founding Fathers, and all manner of domestic and international laws.
Considering that there will be no weapons, no insurrections against government buildings, and no deadly assaults on law enforcement, this may be a difficult ploy to bring off with literally billions of people watching, from every corner of the planet.
At the very least, the numbers alone make the “terrorist” moniker a tough one. Aren’t people going to say, “Ten Million??” Isn’t that a lot of terrorists?”
Republicans Try to Smear Peaceful Protesters as ‘Terrorists’ — But Will They be Successful?

It’s true that we’ve had an occasional Marcus Arelius, i.e., a ruler of intelligence and virtue. But 99+% of history is composed of brutality, greed, and the lust for complete domination over the common people.
With American democracy tottering on the brink of destruction and buildup of military might, we have our hands full if we are to have an organized society here by the end of the century.
We’d all like to wake and realize that we’ve all had the same terrible nightmare.
The only qualification necessary to be a member of Trump’s cabinet is absolute loyalty to the president. Any of the other usual requisites are actually regarded as negatives: a strong resume, relevant experience, intelligence, training, honesty and the like.
To be fair, this is precisely what Americans voted for in 2024, and about 30% of the electorate continues to support this stupidity and criminality.
