You gotta love the propaganda from Democrats and the liberal media.
They're pushing a third "No Kings" protest on Saturday, because somehow the first two weren't useless enough.
This was the AP's take on it.
Organizers of Saturday's "No Kings" demonstrations across the country predict Saturday's rallies against President Donald Trump could add up to one of the largest protests in U.S. history. https://t.co/NqTsE4bKHp

"Largest protests in U.S. history?" Yeah, I wouldn't bet on it, and as I said in the story I did earlier today, most of the media just accepts what the organizers say, as opposed to checking the actual numbers.
Meanwhile, it sounds like CNN is already trying to tamp down expectations a bit, talking about "spread" being more important than "density."

🚨 BREAKING: Liberals are growing worried that today's "No Kings" protests turn out to be a MASSIVE FLOP, saying to focus more on how many protests there are than how many people show up

That sounds like something you say when your crowds aren't as big as you were estimating.
But they were estimating they would have 100,000 show up at the flagship protests in St. Paul, Minnesota.
I don't know about you, but that doesn't look like 100,000 to me.
St. Paul, Minnesota is out.

This matters more than most cities today.
This is the state where a Border Patrol chief threatened Americans with “consequences” for calling federal agents Gestapo.
The state where two people died during federal immigration enforcement.

That's even with "celebrities" like Bruce Springsteen, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), and Jane Fonda in attendance. You even had Jane Fonda, with Joy Reid, pleading with people to come out.

“You can protest and look cute while doing it.”

Oh, well, as long as you look cute. How silly are these people?
The highest numbers were presumably when Bruce was playing. This was what it looked like, so you can decide for yourself if you think that is 100,000.

But it reminds me of when Kamala Harris had Beyoncé show up to a rally in Houston to juice the numbers, but she didn't even sing. Reminder to folks: Kamala lost; the numbers were illusory. These folks keep trying, but they just can't ignite much.

Meanwhile, Bruce couldn't be bothered to get the facts right, leaving out that Renee Good drove into an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent with her car, and Alex Pretti wasn't even shot by ICE as the singer claims, but by the Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) when he was struggling with them during an action in Minneapolis.
Then, of course, while you may have a few liberal city locations that get some people out, most of the locations are not that size. Even the Washington, D.C., protest I wrote on earlier (linked above) looked small to me, compared to the numbers that can come out there.
The NY Times admitted they hadn't been able to confirm these claims of big numbers from the prior "No Kings" protests, so I'll give them that for at least being that honest. And they did nail down what part of what it was about, even if a protest only occupied a "small-town street corner" - "collective therapy."
Videos of the peaceful demonstrations, whether taking up several city blocks or a small-town street corner, are meant to rev up the politically weary, organizers said. So are the whimsical costumes and homemade placards, with cheeky sayings like “Make Orwell Fiction Again.”
But skeptics of such events say that during Mr. Trump’s first term, progressives mistakenly thought that mass protests were a sign of the movement’s widespread popular support, without mastering the harder work of organizing.
“These large-scale protest events make people feel like they’re not alone — it’s like collective therapy,” said Dana R. Fisher, a professor at American University who studies civic engagement.
They might need it when you have stuff like this.
Warning for graphic language in the following videos:
I’m watching this No Kings protest in Atlanta against President Trump and his administration right now and I genuinely can’t tell if this is a protest or the villain casting call for a low-budget Marvel movie.

Are these Democrats? Liberals? Devil Worshipers?

No Kings? More like No Words... Just when you think these weirdos can't outdo themselves, they put this out there. How much are they paying all these boomers to get off their couches and torture us? pic.twitter.com/8ijplmqxEW

SHOCKER. Today’s No Kings protests in North Carolina are full of old white miserable liberal woman 🤣

Like clockwork.
Who’s paying for those nice signs?

If Trump were actually a fascist dictator, none of them would be able to be out there, being ridiculous; they'd all be locked up. No one cares what they have to say, except to laugh at them.
Indeed, it's Trump who has fought real dictators who oppressed their people - by taking down Nicolas Maduro and Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Meanwhile, the Democrats tried to crown Kamala Harris without a single vote in the primary for the top job nomination, and the Democrats tried to boot Trump off of ballots. So, who has been acting more like the fascists here?
