In a recent opinion piece published by the Western Journal, the author casts a critical eye on the "No Kings" protests organized by the American left.
These demonstrations, scheduled to occur across more than 2,500 locations, are portrayed with a hint of sarcasm as a safeguard against the unlikely return of monarchical rule in the United States. The author humorously credits "a cadre of retired purple-haired HR managers" for ensuring the nation remains king-free for another day.
The article labels these protests as "Hate America Day," a term reportedly used by Republicans, suggesting that the events are less about opposing monarchy and more about expressing disdain for the current political climate under a Republican administration. The author points out the irony of these protests taking place in countries that still have monarchies, such as the United Kingdom and the Netherlands.
In the U.K., for instance, events are titled "DAUK: Ready to Resist?" and "No Tyrants Protest," while in Amsterdam, a "No Tyrants 2" rally is planned outside the U.S. consulate.
The piece also highlights the participation of countries within the Commonwealth of Nations, where King Charles III remains the titular head of state. Canada, for example, is noted for hosting several protests, despite its continued recognition of the monarchy. The author suggests a touch of irony in these protests, given the historical and ongoing presence of monarchies in these nations.
According to the author, the true message behind these protests is not a concern over kings or tyranny but rather a dislike for America, Donald Trump, and his administration's policies, particularly on immigration and terrorism. The piece concludes with a reminder that the U.S. has been without a monarch for over 91,000 days, contrasting this with the zero-day count in countries still under monarchical rule.
