Solid recommendation!

What's this from?

There's a short video on the No Kings site that explains what the protest is for.

We're protesting Trump and his use of authoritarian power against the will of the people. Such as:

• The kidnapping families off the street to deport them without due process (illegal)
• Illegally sending the National Guard and Marines to LA to stop peaceful protests against the will of the people and Governor
• Taking away Medicaid (our universal healthcare that only applies to low income people) from hundreds of thousands of people, many of whom may die without it
• Making ICE into what is effectively Brown Shirts
• Persecuting his political enemies, journalists, and lawyers, who dare stand against him

A successful protest would be that the Trump regime becomes too afraid that we will revolt if they keep pushing for an authoritarian dictatorship. We have already seen him begin to back down due to the backlash he has received.

Posting this here due to how important it is. Sorry that it's off-topic, mods, but we need as many eyes on this as humanly possible right now.

You do not have to fill anything out, just find the address, and show up.

Bring water and snacks, wear a mask, and put your phone in a faraday bag if you can.

You absolutely do not have to fill that out. This is a decentralized movement and they'd be more than happy if you just showed up. I assume the RSVP is just to notify you if something changes like the location or maybe a cancellation of the event, but I'd just check the site one last time before you head out.

I won't argue the Revolutionary war, but in my opinion, in WW1 and WW2 the UK was in practice a parliamentary democracy, even if it was/is 'officially' a constitutional monarchy.

You have much stronger feelings about this than I do, especially since I didn't write the original blurb in the post body to begin with.

We're just trying to get people amped up to resist our current regime, and I suspect the person who wrote that was trying to tap into that classic and slightly cringe 'Rah rah, America!" patriotism that we're so well known for.

Thank you for joining us!

In what way? The tyrant king part?

EDIT: Ah, I see what you mean now. It took me a while to get what you meant since I consider the UK during WW2 to be a form of democracy. You may have technically still been a constitutional Monarchy, but it was a parliamentary democracy in practice, as they are today, and have been pretty much since 1928.
