7 million American demonstrators can't be wrong

By Sid Schwab / Herald Columnist

Around 4,000 people showed up to our Everett “No Kings” rally, including, unexpectedly, Washington Gov. Bob Ferguson. He’s a good speaker. My favorite sign: “No Faux King way, Donald.” And thank you to the people who recognized me somehow and urged me to continue writing. I guess I will.

Seven million people, it’s estimated, participated in rallies around the country. Like Everett’s, there was peace, fellowship, American flags and humor, along with properly serious concern demanded by the threats we all face — even MAGA, yet to recognize it — from Donald Trump and the presidents over him, Stephen Miller and Russell Vought.

What, if anything, did this massive, much bigger than last time, nationwide turnout accomplish? Maybe it won’t immediately bend the arc of history toward justice. But it’s not nothing that those patriotic rallies showed what a profligate liar is Holy Mike Johnson, who speaks directly with God in Heaven but will, if the Ten Commandments mean anything, spend eternity elsewhere, alongside Trump. “Hate America,” he called the rallies, which were, demonstrably, the opposite. There’s nothing more pro-America than “No Kings.” It is, after all, the force behind America’s birth.

It must have infuriated every high-level Republican, including Trump and his aforementioned manipulators, that there was virtually no violence. Smarmy, condescending Mike, trusting trusters to trust him trustingly, attempted to dismiss it all, but ended up embarrassing himself (YouTube: tinyurl.com/straw4u). One sad lady wrote online that she showed up somewhere in her MAGA hat, hoping to provoke post-worthy video of nasty reactions but was, instead, ignored. In Portland, filming the results for propaganda in Noemansland, ICE agitated the crowd until there were a few arrests (Facebook: tinyurl.com/2provoke).

keep on writing Yo Mama! I, for one, thank you... and no, 7 million of us can't be wrong on this!!! And we scared this maladministration with our numbers and our behavior. They don't know how to react if there is no violence. They proved that. All they could do was seek to provoke it when it wasn't forthcoming. Shame on them! And it would be so nice if we could double that number with the next "No Kings"...!!!

It’s “E Pluribus Unum,” which is Latin for “Out of many, One.”

Real motto = DEI spelled out.
Fake motto = insists the nation become the American Taliban.

🤬🤬🤬🤬
