I know I’m not the only one who found the irony in yet another round of the “No Kings” protests this weekend across the country.
The same people decrying no kings are the same people who willingly put decorations away depending on who is in office.
Two examples to explain. First, during COVID, these people had no problem with schools and local businesses being shuttered as corporations were allowed to operate. They called hotlines set up to squeal on their neighbors for being outside too much but didn’t blink an eye when Newsom and his cronies flaunted the rules while dining at the French Laundry. Second, when their party stole the nomination from Bernie in 2016 to give to Clinton and in 2024 anointed Kamala without their voters casting one vote for her. These aren’t opinions, but facts.
They don’t want “No Kings,” they want their king. Be wary.
Great letter, Mr. Guttenbeil. Many of these folks are Democrats who follow King Newsom as he threatens democracy with Proposition 50. Now that Newsom started the redistricting war, other states are doing the same and redistricting to counter Newsom’s treachery.
