No Kings: Geriatrics Rise Up. Very Slowly.
We get it, geezers. You didn’t vote for Donald Trump. You hate him.
We saw you shaking your canes at the president during your silly “No Kings” protests on Saturday.
Who wants to tell them that we don’t HAVE a king?
We have a president.
Then again, you can’t expect people who don’t know what a woman is to know what a king is either.
His name is Donald Trump and he was elected. Trump won the popular vote. Trump won the electoral college. Trump won every swing state, soundly beating the day-drunk Dems selected to replace the zombie they first nominated and then stabbed in the back.
When Trump beat Hillary in 2016, the left was seething. To show their anger they knitted pink vagina hats, put them on their heads and took to the streets.
They looked like a bunch of nuts and accomplished, well, nothing.
Ten years later, they emptied the nursing homes - apparently banned people of color - and filled the sidewalks with 70, 80 and 90-year-old white people struggling to hold aloft “No Kings” signs.
You could almost smell the Ben-Gay.
Bruce Springsteen headlined the St. Paul No Kings protest. He was joined by Jane Fonda, Joan Baez and Bernie Sanders.
Average age of this line-up: 83.
Lucky no one broke a hip.
Hey, it’s a free country, we may not have a king but we do have the First Amendment and we have the right to chant silly slogans on sunny Saturday afternoons.
It’s the American way.
Yet there were some alarming signs over the weekend, too. Some of these geriatric hippies were showing signs of radicalization - or dementia. Red flags with hammers and sickles were raised in Times Square and protesters were chanting "there is only one solution, communist revolution." In Salt Lake City, protesters were wearing red berets with the hammer and sickle insignia.
Apparently some of the protesters want to swap an elected president for a communist dictator.
Make it make sense.
Perhaps the most nonsensical protest this weekend was in London where British radicals showed their solidarity with American leftists by hosting a No Kings protest outside the U.S. Embassy.
That’s right. A No Kings protest in a country that literally has a king.
Seriously, where were these “freedom-loving” folks were when the government ordered millions of Americans to take an experimental vaccine or lose their jobs, when they closed churches, synagogues and schools, told people how many guests the could have in their own houses, forced people to wear masks and condemned old folks to die alone in quarantined nursing homes?
Oh,right. They were busy turning in their neighbors for hosting a party.
Those dictatorial covid orders stomped on a multitude of civil liberties, yet the left didn’t object. In fact, they clambered for more. They were the ones shouting at those of us who didn’t wear masks to cover our faces, they were the ones who wanted to put the unvaccinated into camps and deny them health care. They cheered when young families were tossed from flights because their 2-year-olds pulled off their face diapers.
Oh, this crowd of aging lefties is fine with kings.
As long as it’s one of them.
