You know you've been conditioned to live in a black & white paradigm when you have no ability to distinguish between

-Marxism
-Communism
-Socialism
-Democratic Socialism

If all those words scream in your brain BAD, but you can't describe their differences, you've been conditioned to feel this way

β€˜No Kings’ Protests Draw Millions Across U.S. More than 2,600 "No Kings" rallies have been planned across the country Saturday against the Trump Administration.

Today, Californians joined millions nationwide to say loud and clear:

NO to authoritarianism.
NO to assaulting our democracy.
NO to censorship and fear.
NO to hate and division.
NO to corruption and cruelty.
NO to kings.

YES to a government by and for the people.

Corporate Media reports "over 1000 protesters showed up for No Kings at the Iowa Capital".

Official estimate is over TWELVE (12) THOUSAND.

This Orwellian bullshit reporting needs to stop.

7 million No Kings protesters and the only arrests today that I read about were Trumpers in Myrtle Beach, SC and Wilkes-Barre, PA who showed up flashing their guns at people. But please tell us again about how today was going to be nationwide riots caused by violent left wing Antifa terrorists. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

You’ll notice that no one at No Kings marches throughout the country tried to storm state Capitols nor did they try to smear their shit on any walls, just people saying fuck no to a fascist criminally indicted felon and his Nazi/Hitler agenda.
