Yeah but I feel like this is more of an organizational/training failure. Not sure how it’s connected to the organizers being liberals. But feel free to explain if there is some connection I’m not seeing.
I’ve felt this constant obnoxious condescending attitude from the “No Kings” posts that feels a lot like I’m being talked down to; coupled with adding words like PEACEFUL in ALL CAPS and pre-emptively broadcasting that they will not fight back no matter what.
Statements like that are so confidently unaware (or willfully ignoring) of that actual danger that we are all in. They’re screaming, publicly, that their movement will not fight back, which is just inviting police and federal agent abuse. The constant messaging to remain “PEACEFUL” and that “WE WILL NOT ENGAGE” (again - all caps) very much echos how liberal Democrats in Congress are downplaying this fascist takeover.
These voices act like holding a No Kings protest will just force Trump to stop by their popularity, like it’s a vote where 3% of the population showing up means MAGA gets de-facto stopped. They ignore that the 3% figure comes from movements that did not openly brand themselves “PEACEFUL” and tell members “WE WILL NOT ENGAGE”. It feels like it’s being led by people who learned about Martin Luther King Jr. but never the Black Panthers.
That said, I’ve been to events and and will go to this month’s event on October 18th, as a recruiting opportunity for a local group, but I don’t deal with the actual march, and I’m not blindly following orders from some rando with a megaphone.
Yeah, the whole thing is liberal and doesn’t go far enough,
Can’t forget how a “safety volunteer” at a Salt Lake City shot at a leftist protecting the rally, hit a different participant, then managed to get the Leftist arrested despite him not firing his rifle.
Sounds like they need to host more armed protests so people can get used to having guns around.
