Speaking as a Boomer, the "No Kings" protests over the weekend were rather embarrassing for me. One aerial reporter described the crowds as "a sea of Q-Tips," referring to all the white-haired participants.
I realize that many forgotten hippies are hungry for modern relevance, but I wish they could find a more rational target than President Trump. Explain to me, just how is he a king? If he were the dictator that they insist he is, the protesters would be in jail right now. Jimmy Kimmel never would have gotten back on the air under "King Trump." The View would be off television. Left-wing media reporters and writers would be rounded up and disappeared. If Trump were king, all of his excessively vocal critics would be afraid to speak. Instead, all of Trump's detractors are brazenly outspoken, 24/7.
To add to the pointlessness, it was amusingly poor timing to schedule the "No Kings" protests immediately following the Trump administration's forging of a peace settlement in Israel. Good grief, people, find a more productive activity to pursue in all your spare time.
Although, on second thought, go ahead and knock yourselves out screaming into the wind against your phantom fascist. It's your First Amendment right as an American. It does all of us good to be reminded that the United States IS a free country.
