In a true democracy, the government does not make up vicious lies about their political opposition. They would not encourage violence against protesters, call them terrorists, or have them hit with tear gas to disperse.
But the USA no longer has true democracy.
This is why we protest.

True. The crazier the doublespeak and gaslighting coming out The White House, the more they know they are losing more and more support from Americans.
The shutdown is already being blamed mostly on Trump and his GOP cult.
Same with violence against protesters in Chicago.

House Liar Mike Johnson is only a skilled gaslighter and a sock puppet for the Trump cult.

No Kings protest is "anti-American?" As usual GOP cult confounds what is America with what is Trump because that's precisely what a cult does: worship its leader.
All the more reason to protest.
Trump is not defending The US Constitution. He thinks he can overrule it.
NO KINGS!

Trump Just Said Exactly What a Dictator Would Say
The president had a despotic message for Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker.
Another source (originally from CNN) : "I have the right to do anything I want to do. I’m the president of the United States."

And don't let anyone try to tell you Trump doesn't think he's a king.

Baby steps.
But Trump definitely thinks he's a king, and here's proof:

No Kings protest is not a "rebellion," which I'm sure we will also hear. Read what the 7th District Appeals Court had to say when upholding a temporary ban on National Guard being federalized by Trump and deployed in Chicago. This is about free speech, not "hate."

And if you're an active duty president who thinks you can overrule the US Constitution, we got news for you:
NO KINGS.

Commenting on whether protestors actions in Chicago qualify as a "rebellion" justifying Trump federalizing National Guard to be deployed in addition to ICE agents, here is what the US Court of Appeals, 7th Circuit Judges ROVNER , HAMILTON , and S T. EVE had to say on Oct. 16, 2025:

ICE: Crashing into a car on a residential street, subjecting babies and school children to tear gas, firing rubber bullets at clergy, assaulting and detaining teens who are US citizens, randomly nabbing teens off the streets who look Latino...vs protestors: "throwing objects."
