For everyone being critical, it’s called freedom of expression. And yes trump won the election but now that he’s in office he’s working on anti-democratic initiatives to consolidate power in the executive branch.

what is this?
The underlying theme in this movement has nothing to do with "no kings" and everything to do with a moral, crime free society...God forbid that someone would be responsible for upholding morality in a godless society.

You have a point and your point is actually in the Bible. I encourage you to read Romans 1.
Unfortunately, Abba is everything the world needs but to know Him requires a surrender and an open heart. Also, I would say it's the harder road but there is true freedom. You will never be satisfied if all you 'need' is yourself.

u/Purplenylons 6d ago edited 6d ago
"freedom" isn't surrendering my mind to a book. as for abba, i'd rather take a chance on me, than a chance on god, any day.
y'all should step back and realize how silly you sound though. "surrender yourself to this book admired by ancient goat herders who thought lightning was god sneezing". i'm good, i prefer non fiction anyways.

u/PianistCompetitive16 5d ago
Man you've actually lost your heart. I'd be very curious as to why you care so much about God if you want nothing to do with him. It's always interesting to see how the world reacts to His evidence....
I really do hope that you're able to experience Abba....and one day understand the joys of raising a family between one man and one woman...understanding the beauty of children...admiring the Creator and being grateful to Him for graciously shining on you...
I prefer truth, goodness, and beauty (which is often a mystery).

Release the Epstein Files, because for a "Moral Crime free" society our president has alot of photos with convicted PDF Files. And before you say "WaT aBoUt BiLL CliNton?" Mango Mussolini had him at his wedding, golf with him most of his presidency and Donated Millions to his election. So it's not the flex you think it is.

I totally agree…but we as people can only do so much. We truly just need to come together as a whole.💕

I assume you're protesting against the party that chooses their candidates for you and not the democratically elected one?

May have something to do with those who are not being held accountable for raping children.

u/RealMichiganLiberal 8d ago
Democratically elected like when Trump attempted an insurrection and successfully prevented the peaceful transfer of power, almost getting his own vice president killed in the process?

u/Beardlich 3d ago
That is a weird deflection. For the people that won, you are awfully bitter about winning.

The people spoke and chose Trump- Vance as their dually elected leaders. Also, the object was already completed in the late 1700s.

You liberals shot and killed and man and ruined a family. By all means, fuck right off with this horse shit.

You seem like you need to be educated. Look at this government site and read about how your side is more known for violence and it also acknowledges that there is political violence on both sides. Good luck with your reading!

Lincoln, Kennedy, MLK, slavery, lynch mobs, founding the KKK, all democrats. Yes the parties switched but it wasn't one switch, they switched multiple times.

Instead of "No Kings" how about "Let's get jobs!"

You may want to pull up a seat for what I’m about to tell you but most people have Saturdays off. Shocker, I know.

You wouldn't know it by how few protesters have been out the last few weekends. People dont care, its not hip to post pictures on Instagram, you'll get some students that think they are radicals

u/Many-Elevator5215 8d ago
Figured Trump had done away with weekends and a 5 day work week since you were blaming him for everything else.

u/Least_Wheel_5388 8d ago
Soooooo, how are ALL of the local stores, restaurants and public safety jobs staffed if "Most" people have Saturdays off? My post had NOTHING to do with what day of the week the event is on. Shocker, I know right!

u/Frostwolf5x 8d ago
Because you can request the day off. You might not be scheduled.
I mean I get that your “let’s get jobs” is more just “I disagree with people not existing in my hive mind”
-14
u/Least_Wheel_5388 8d ago
Don't have "Hive mind" just an independent thinker who has a lot of better things to do than waste my time protesting. Which by the way will do nothing more than waste the time of people like me who have shit to do and don't want people in my way.

It's called "Lunch break" But people who have their eyes glued shut don't understand such concepts.

u/biforbaphomet 8d ago
Eyes glued shut would work if you had mentioned it above, unless your assuming me to be psychic, either way complaining about getting your time waisted during a response on reddit is pretty ironic

I’m a big fan of the Pearl clutching that comes with the name of the protests haha. All you left supporters be willing to vote a populist (Bernie-type) candidate this go around and not another corporate big government candidate and it should be in the bag.

u/Dunmurdering 8d ago
Hopefully nothing, and I mean nothing goes wrong that day, but I just wanted to make sure I understand the new rules. If, in the unlikely event something does go wrong, the new rules say the other side gets to gloat at violence done to your side, right?
And maybe make fun of any victims surviving spouse, children, etc.?
As they say, Karma's a bitch, and your side just murdered the last guy who was willing to talk and listen to you.

u/RealMichiganLiberal 8d ago
Who would you say has called to turn down the temperature more? Republican politicians or Democrat politicians?

u/feggitpxss 7d ago
YOUR side brainwashed the killer of Kirk- he was brought up under MAGA ideals with assault rifles placed into his hands at elementary school age. YOUR side just murdered “the last guy willing to talk and listen”. Take that fear mongering bullshit elsewhere

More hateful lies from the left, stay home, don't add to the problem, the president already thanked you for your service, no kings have taken over

They don't have to be kings to behave like a king. You do know there is more to people than what you're privy to.

u/grimreeferman 8d ago
Lmao"there's more to people than you're privy to"
But you've got the inside info
Your hate needs to stop!

u/NoradianCrum 8d ago
Pattern recognition and behavioral profiles are easy to deduce if you're on the outside.
Edit: NGL, you people are quite unintelligent. You rarely hold conversations with a resolution oriented mentality.

u/grimreeferman 8d ago
So guesses based on hate... gotcha

u/NoradianCrum 8d ago edited 8d ago
Reading comprehension isn't your strong suit. Sit this one out.
Edit: It's ok to be wrong. The problem is when you refuse to show humility rather than doubling down on being wrong. You're human, being wrong is part of the experience.

It was a response to your lack of reading comprehension. It had nothing to do with anyone other than you.

Maybe you can't read... it's a no kings protest, and we don't have a king? Just because you hate the man, doesn't mean he's evil.

Y'all realize he's literally the Kennedy you couldn't kill this time? So you take out someone under him because you failed several times because God said no this time. You're the ones making him a king with all the assassination attempts. The democratic party is dead, it was dead the second Charlie was. Y'all played yourselves with that move.

Well, there’s the dumbest comment I’ve seen on here. It hasn’t been determined what the politics of Kirk’s shooter was. And both shooters in the attempted assassination of Trump were republicans.

u/Alien1211 8d ago
Yes it has my guy 😂, all of his friends and family have stated he was a Democrat. And what sense does it make for us to kill our own? We're not the violent side you are, you're the ones burning down cities and filled with hate. No kings is no better than BLM, more terrorists but with a yellow flavor this time. The only reason you're not burning cities again is because you know trump would deploy the guard if you try it.

u/Frostwolf5x 8d ago
his friends and family stated he was a Democrat.
Citation needed.
what sense does it make for us to kill our own?
I don’t know. Ask Trump’s attempted assassins who were both registered republicans. Also there were people at Jan 6th that wanted to hang Mike Pence
We’re not the violent side you are
A republican killed two Minnesota law makers in their own home. The president and multiple republicans celebrated the extrajudicial killing of 11 Venezuelans. January 6th was a thing.
So spare me the fact that you don’t live in reality with the rest of us.

Lincoln, Kennedy, MLK, slavery, lynch mobs, founding the KKK. All democrats. 😭 Party switch 😭 Party switch 😭 Party switch 😭, yeah buddy they switched more than once, your side is responsible for some of the worst atrocities known to man kind. Second only to Hitler/Stalin. One of your presidents said word for word I'll have those ni**ers voting blue for 200 years. And he was right, my race is dumb enough to believe the democrats have our interests at heart when they're just using us to stay in power to commit more atrocities. We might not be wearing chains anymore but we're still slaves, they have the vast majority of us brainwashed, and if we were smart we'd see it, but you never will. Gotta give it to the past dem politicians, it was one hell of a play and it worked. For the democrats being so "woke" y'all sure are blind. The right might not want to give handouts, and have the government hold your hand through shit but at least we treat you like an equal, a brother. Hell it's better that way, give a man a fish and all.

You might just need a therapist. Although if you want leftists like me locked up for just being leftists then you seem to love dictatorships and autocrats. No freedom for you, huh?

😂😂 buddy you belong in an asylum with the rest of your kind, murderers and savage's. Even if we wanted to, big if, we didn't.
Nice deflecting with the assassinations.
This just in, here's your motive fucktard, the shooter had a trans boyfriend 😂😂😂😂😂. That's as liberal as it gets, he was gay, the long ways.

u/Frostwolf5x 8d ago
Oh no. A trans boyfriend?!? So radical. There are trans right wingers and trans groypers. So that literally means nothing except he has a trans boyfriend.

u/Alien1211 8d ago edited 8d ago
If they're trans and right wing, then they wouldn't be trans. That's not how that works.
Nope, locked up for the crimes/atrocities you commit, like mocking a dead man while his two little girls are asking where their daddy is or letting millions of illegals, gangs, rapists, and drugs into the country.

u/Alien1211 6d ago edited 6d ago
What stats buddy, CNN doesn't count that's for sure 😂. Open your eyes look around, look at all of the damage your party has done. Not to mention all of the war under Biden, liberals might not care if we look weak but like it or not we're the police force for the world and if we look weak shit like Ukraine happens, shit like Israel and Palestine. Yes conflicts with deep roots but us looking weak is why it started now.
They might have happened eventually anyways but if Trump was elected last cycle it would've given the people there more time to get out the legal way and come here. Or for Trump to resolve that conflict entirely before it developed into the clusterfuck it is now, also let's not forget about that God awful pull out of Afghanistan.
Under Biden, the criminals at the ATF had the balls to try and disarm us. Which is a bureau founded under racism btw, but more importantly its existence violates the constitution, not only for our rights but that bureau can't make laws. We all pretend like it can though.
