Second round of protests at more than 2,500 sites are set for Saturday, including in cities where Trump has sent troops
Donald Trump has promised to crack down on dissent and sent troops into US cities. His allies are claiming antifa, the decentralized antifascist movement, is behind plans to protest. He’s looking for any pretext to go after his opponents.
Still, this Saturday, even in cities with troops on the ground, millions of people are expected to march against the president as part of a second “No Kings” protest. The last No Kings protest in June drew several million people across more than 2,000 locations. This time, more than 2,500 cities and towns nationwide are hosting protests.
Organizers expect this Saturday’s protests to draw more people than the June events as the American public sees the excesses of the Trump administration more clearly.
Uphold the constitution is not vague.
No, its very vauge. Uphold it? Thats what the government should do all of the time every time, we need to always try to ensure that. So how is the protest going to encourage government folks to be more strick about upholding the constitution? What positions need to be investigated? Who is going to be verifying that the constitution is being upheld?
“Let’s go protest!” “OK what?” “Uphold the constitution!!” “Okay? Who? Or what?”
Yes, NoKings is probably controlled opposition. There needs to be a more specific message, but at the same time the judges should know that bending to dictatorship is against the will of the people.
