No Kings Rally: Another Left-Wing Tantrum That's Tearing America Apart

Posted by Patriot Perspective | October 18, 2025

Folks, if you thought the 2020 election riots were the peak of progressive petulance, think again. Today, October 18, 2025, marks the second coming of the so-called "No Kings" protests—a nationwide spasm of sanctimonious screeching against a duly elected president who's barely had time to unpack his bags in the Oval Office. Organizers claim millions turned out in over 2,500 locations, from the streets of Portland to the parks of Brattleboro, Vermont, all chanting the tired mantra: "America has no kings, and the power belongs to the people." How noble. Except this isn't about kings or power—it's about sore losers who can't stomach the will of the American people.Let's cut through the fog of feel-good slogans. These rallies, billed as a "non-violent movement" against "authoritarian power grabs," are nothing more than a coordinated assault on the democratic process. President Trump won fair and square in 2024, delivering a mandate to secure our borders, boost the economy, and restore law and order. But instead of respecting the voters—half of whom didn't even bother showing up last time—the radical left is back at it, flooding the streets with signs comparing deportations to "concentration camps" and dressing up in chicken costumes to mock the man they call a "would-be king." Newsflash: The only kings here are the unelected bureaucrats and activist judges who've been running roughshod over conservative values for decades.And the hypocrisy? It's thicker than the crowds in Chicago's "Operation Midway Blitz" echo chamber. Remember when the left cheered Biden's executive overreach on everything from student loans to green energy mandates? Crickets. But one mention of enforcing immigration laws, and suddenly it's fascism. Protesters in Atlanta waved posters screaming, "If you don’t want criminals in the country, don’t elect one," as if open borders haven't turned sanctuary cities into crime-ridden war zones. Meanwhile, Republican leaders rightly call this out for what it is: "Hate America rallies" fueled by Antifa agitators and ACLU cheerleaders. The ACLU's Deirdre Schifeling crowed that "millions showed we will not be silenced," but who's silencing whom? Last I checked, it's conservatives getting censored on Big Tech platforms and doxxed by woke mobs.This isn't unity; it's division on steroids. In a nation still reeling from inflation, border chaos, and the fentanyl epidemic—courtesies of the previous administration—the left chooses spectacle over solutions. Over 140,000 jammed the Bay Area alone, blocking bridges and tying up traffic, while everyday Americans just want to get to work. In Mobile, Alabama, where threats forced extra security, 2,000 showed up anyway—because nothing says "peaceful protest" like turning a sleepy Southern town into a flashpoint. And let's not forget the costumes: frogs handing out flowers in Prineville, Oregon, or 100-year-olds in Portland evoking "1938 all over again." Godwin's Law in action, folks. These aren't rallies; they're traveling circuses designed to inflame tensions and paint half the country as villains.From a conservative standpoint, this is the real threat to our republic—not some imagined "authoritarianism," but the relentless campaign to delegitimize elections when they don't go your way. We've seen it before: the Russia hoax, the J6 show trials, the endless lawfare. Now, with Trump back in charge, the resistance ramps up, sowing seeds of civil unrest that could sprout into something far uglier. Even the NYPD, no fans of Trump, reported over 100,000 in New York with zero arrests—peaceful on the surface, but the undercurrent of rage is palpable. America's strength has always been in our ability to disagree without descending into anarchy. But events like No Kings erode that. They tell 74 million Trump voters: Your voice doesn't count. They embolden the fringes—Antifa in the streets, socialists in the squares—and make compromise impossible. President Trump himself pushed back on Fox News, insisting he's "not a king." And he's right. He's a leader chosen by the people, not a monarch. If the left truly believed in "power to the people," they'd channel this energy into ballots, not bullhorns.Conservatives, it's time to stand firm. Support our president as he drains the swamp—again. Call out the media for amplifying these tantrums while ignoring real issues like skyrocketing energy costs. And remind everyone: True patriotism isn't about protesting power; it's about preserving the principles that make protests possible in the first place.What do you think, readers?
