That’s just a No Kings rally, and we’ve seen how effective those are.

Can’t revolt. Work weekdays and got soccer on Saturday. Maybe after church for a few hours on Sunday.

No Kings was never intended to have any follow-through. I check the website periodically and it’s almost never updated until the next big rally is coming up. No resources, no sustained effort to strengthen and entrench the resistance, just “Find a rally near you!” every 4-6 months.
I think its only purpose has been to keep liberals minimally activated to vote in the midterms, and that’s it. If it were anything more than that, we’d be seeing more French-style direct action by now.
