Fascism Does Not Discriminate — It Will Eventually Come For Us All
No Kings Day 2.0 is not about hate — it’s about love, and how we, the people, intend to preserve it.
Fascism does not discriminate — it will come for all of us.
Protesting today matters. This 21st-century fascist regime needs to see just how deeply the people who live here love this country — despite its savage, stolen beginnings — and how committed we are to its democracy, its freedoms, and its future. They need to see just how many of us they’ll have to bulldoze over before they pull off a full-blown, long-term fascist takeover.
No Kings 2.0 is not an “I hate America” protest.
That, my friends, is nothing more than Donald Trump and his flunky, fascist regime’s predictable projection of how they actually feel about this country and its democracy.
They hate democracy.
They hate freedom of speech.
They hate due process.
They hate equality.
They hate liberty.
They hate justice.
They are the threat to this diverse, imperfect, beautiful nation that so many of us have come to love.
No Kings CANNOT stop here.
We have to keep calling them out — their bullshit, their manipulation, their contortion, their lies, their projection. We see them for what they are, and we know their plan for this country does not include us.
But we built this country.
We fund this country.
And most importantly, we, the people, are this country.
And they need to know: we’re standing on business.
All the torture, terror, genocide, and slavery that built this country — it cannot be for nothing. This is supposed to be a democracy. We did not sign up for dictatorship. We don’t deserve that. Our neighbors don’t deserve that. Our kids don’t deserve that.
The fight cannot end here.
This has to be a new beginning. Get loud. Get bold. Keep fighting for your rights — and don’t let the fire die out today.
Be safe. Be vigilant. Be peaceful. Be brave. Be consistent.
You and I are the only ones who can save this country, and prevent the failure of this almost 250-year experiment — and the whole world is watching us.
