'‘No Kings’ protests live updates: Organizers claim nearly 7 million people marched in anti-Trump rallies
The president insisted he was ‘not a king’ on Friday, one day before demonstrators in 2,500 locations across the country protest his administration'

The Independent.

Pretty much sums it up. A whole bunch of people spending a lot of resources to tell Trump not to be a king while he is saying he never was, so this is all pointless and those people look foolish.

@volkris

Those protesters don't look foolish, but Trump and his Republicans are now running scared

@lyndamerry484

It's in the eye of the beholder.

The problem is, if these protesters want to attract support from others, they need to realize that they do look foolish in the eyes of many of the people who they need to convince over to their side.

Otherwise they're just preaching to the choir in silly outfits.

@volkris

I really do not agree with you.

Protest is the only real weapon ordinary people have and I am happy to see so many in the USA come out on the streets for what they believe in.

I applauded them all

That's just not correct. The main weapon ordinary people have is their votes and they keep using their votes to support ineffective politicians.

@volkris

I agree they have their votes but it is never 'pointless' as you called them, when people get out on the streets in-between their votes and tell a tyrant what they think of him.

@volkris @lyndamerry484 You are trying to make a point here vollkris but you just sound tired and cynical.
