The Point

That is our point.

Yesterday 8 million Americans demonstrated that in this land we will have no Kings.

I received many derisive comments yesterday from MAGA who were mocking the historic protests.

“He’s not a king he’s your daddy” is one example.

“We haven’t had a king for 250 years so what’s your point?” is the boil down of them all.

The point:

Like a would be king, he has sent military troops into our cities to silence dissent.

Like a would be king, he has started unauthorized wars of choice.

Like a would be king he has corruptly enriched himself.

Like a would be king he has set in motion the means to solidify his rule irrespective of the will of the people.

Like a would be king he traffics in impunity.

Like a would be king he has slapped his name and likeness on public buildings, and begun constructing a new palace where the people’s house now stands, one which will not be complete until it is time for him to go.

And so I worry that like a king he will not leave until nature forces him to.

The people must stand up and remind one another — and remind the few leaders who still have courage to wield the levers they hold — that we will have no Kings in this land.

We must make them think twice.

That is our point.
