The “No Kings” protests are set to kick off on Saturday, October 18, across the country — because apparently, the Left never misses a chance to pretend they’re leading a revolution. Organizers claim that more than 2,500 rallies will take place in all 50 states, led by a coalition of over 200 progressive groups spearheaded by Indivisible — the same outfit whose entire mission is to “resist the Trump agenda.”
Significant demonstrations are anticipated to take place in Washington, D.C., New York City, Philadelphia, Chicago, and Los Angeles.
Protesters have been encouraged to wear yellow “to show collective strength in the face of oppression.” The organizers have accused President Trump and his administration of “sending militarized agents into our communities, silencing voters, and handing billionaires giveaways while families struggle.”
But when she was asked about the demonstrations, White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson gave Fox News the best answer ever (and the most factual one): “Who cares?”
Other Republicans have brushed off the upcoming nationwide protests as well.
House Speaker Mike Johnson told Fox News that the “No Kings” rallies are being driven by “the pro-Hamas wing and the Antifa crowd,” describing them as little more than coordinated left-wing chaos. Johnson also accused Democrats of intentionally dragging out negotiations over the Schumer Shutdown to appease their radical base and keep their activist donors happy.
Senator Roger Marshall of Kansas told Newsmax, “The agitators show up. We’ll have to get the National Guard out. Hopefully it will be peaceful. I doubt it.”
The first “No Kings” rally occurred earlier this summer to protest the Army’s 250th anniversary military parade. While most of the protests were peaceful, some escalated into violent riots, resulting in several arrests and at least one fatality. Organizers have expressed confidence that the upcoming protests will remain peaceful; however, some individuals have raised concerns about the possibility of paid agitators or professional protesters with differing agendas.
