Americans Gathered by The Millions to Protest President Bedwetter And His Corrupt Regime, Even Though We All Had Plenty of Other Things to Do

This past weekend, for the second time in four months, I took part in a political protest. I’m pretty sure it was also only the second time in my life — which spans enough decades that I still remember when the Beatles broke big.

What this tells you is that I’m not a guy who spends a lot of time at political protests, and must have a pretty good reason for doing so now.

That reason has to do with my utter contempt for the current president of the United States – a petty, corrupt crybaby who won a second term in office last year against all sanity and reason, and has decided to turn his second tour of duty into a Hitleresque revenge orgy designed to settle scores, bolster his bank account, and set up his own personal fiefdom.

Most Americans can’t stand the guy. Seriously, he is less popular than gangrene. The only people who support him either want to ride his endless grift to great wealth, or are hopelessly brainwashed MAGA cultists. I doubt any of them really “like” him. But they’ve developed a taste for his particular brand of poison, for whatever deranged reason.

The protest took place on Saturday (Oct. 18). It was dubbed “No Kings,” Part Two. It was the second such protest in the last four months. I also took part in the first one, which happened in June, and which I also blogged about.

According to media reports, this latest version of “No Kings” drew an estimated 7 million protesters from across the country – all 50 states, from small villages to bulging metropolises.

There probably were 200-plus protestors in our little town. That’s a pretty good turnout in a place with only 8,000 or so residents. I’m guessing that the average age of the protestors was around 50 or so, with more people 60 and older than 30 and younger.

These were mainly a collection of parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, professionals and homemakers, teachers and artisans and shop owners and retirees. Most have spent dozens of years paying taxes, raising families, going to church, tending lawns and grilling burgers in what is a very suburban, upper middle-class community.

Most of them brought along signs. Many waved U.S. flags. Just about all of them looked about as American as America gets.

And yet, and yet…..

A bunch of soulless twerps like U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson, Attorney General Pam Bondi and Vice President What’s His Name – who traded their meager souls for the right to stick their tiny heads firmly up the president’s flabby old fascist ass – tried to paint these nationwide protests as “Hate America” rallies organized by “extremists” and “terrorists.”

Well, damn. Did you know that Grandma and Grandpa America were terrorists? Were you aware that they hate the good ol’ USA?

Neither was I!

Jesus, man. What can you even say about this bullshit anymore? It’s almost comical, the increasingly desperate attempts by the president’s corrupt and talentless toadies to spin the narrative into something that has zero relationship with reality.

They’re almost good at it — except that 97% of the country’s thinking population can see right through it. I’m guessing even the toadies know it’s bullshit. But they keep doing it, anyway.

More than half of America opposes the president — way more than half. More than half voted against him in three different elections. Millions of regular Americans from all walks of life turned out on a nice fall Saturday to protest his batshit policies and limitless appetite for power, revenge and chaos.

Calling all these folks “America haters” and “terrorists” is so GD dishonest and juvenile that you half expect the whole idea was cooked up by a bunch of snotty nosed, grade-school brats.

And just to prove that point, some of the sycophants who orbit around the president put out an AI video showing the president wearing a crown, flying a plane, and dropping piles of feces on the “No Kings” protesters. You can read all it about it here.

Well, it certainly was a brilliantly stupid response that probably drew a lot of chuckles from the bro/douchebag brigade. I doubt the president himself had much to do with it, though, considering he’s a half-senile old fart who probably can’t even write his own name anymore, much less harness the powers of AI.

Anyway….

The “No Kings” protests themselves were peaceful and orderly and more likely to include sing-alongs than violence. To my knowledge there were no arrests — even in the biggest cities, where tens of thousands lined the streets and plazas.

Compare that with the Jan. 6, 2021, riots at the U.S. Capitol, when thousands of angry and deranged MAGA thugs stormed the Capitol building and unleashed all kinds of destruction and violence at the urging of the current president and former ex-president, who was too big a baby to admit he lost the 2020 election, and tried his damndest to have the results overturned.

If you are looking for violent, America-hating terrorists, Trump’s Jan. 6 followers fit the bill perfectly. Here are a couple photos from that little affair, just to jog the old memory:

This past Saturday was a beautiful day in our neck of the woods – sunny, clear skies, temps in the 70s or so, the perfect fall afternoon. It would have been a good day to do a bunch of things besides stand around an intersection holding signs and protesting a government that hates the very America they claim everyone else hates.

I’m sure most of the “No Kings” protesters would rather have been doing something else on Saturday. Like watching football. Or gardening. Or getting exercise. Or going out to lunch, meeting friends, enjoying family time, hiking, biking, playing golf or tennis, walking along the beach, napping, whatever.

But there we were, practicing the age-old American right of assembly. Making our voices heard. Pushing back against authoritarianism.

The founding fathers would have supported us, because it’s the exact thing they did when they went up against an authoritarian kingdom lo those many years ago.

We’re the real Americans, President Pedophile. You’re the fraud. And history will well remember that — you can take it to the bank.
