This upcoming Saturday, Oct 18, 2025 marks another "No Kings Protest" across the nation. I am sure Donald Trump intends to declare this protest, along with any other upcoming demonstrations, as the works of Antifa. The 34 count felon Trump gets his knickers wadded over anything which reflects badly upon his leadership, and vows revenge on anyone who makes even a joke about him; for example his ire directed against President Barak Obama and most recently, Jimmy Kimmel. Trump is attempting to criminalize any opposition against his policies, as well as his Republican constituents.
Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, is now publicly stating people which participate in the No Kings demonstrations hate America. What a pathetic ass kissing weasel! The Republicans are swift to throw unfounded "phrases" out to their MAGA base who will parrot their words like birds on steroids. Johnson claims the crowds will be composed of Antifa, Marxists, and people who are pro-Hamas, which is bogus nonsense. He utterly fails to mention the American people's constitutional rights under the First Amendment--the right to protest. During the last No Kings Protest, even some Republicans protested, and I fully expect there may be more in numbers this time. There are some MAGA people freshly waking up to Medicaid cuts, veteran's benefits slashed, new Social Security rules, and new guests in their homes such as Mee Maw from the nursing home or first cousin Elroy.
For a full blown sociopathic narcissist in power, any protest against such a leader will make a tyrant wring his hands in derision. We have recently seen Donald Trump's campaign to exact revenge through indictments upon former FBI director James Comey, New York District Attorney Leltitia James; plus a little over a week ago, former National Security Advisor John Bolton too was indicted. Trump's retribution list will surely grow, perhaps more rapidly than we anticipate. However, we will not see the Trump administration sic Pam Bondi on James Holman; who captured on video, accepted a $50,000 bribe. Seems to me their priorities are out of place (sarcasm), but this is no surprise to anyone. Trump is truly a sociopath. Our felon-in-chief has babysitting office staff which generally sit him down daily before a television, so he can see if anyone from The View or the late night shows might be talking about him. However, Trump has scared the hell out of ABC, CBS, and NBC News about reporting relevant news stories related to authoritarianism, so my guess he is not as anxious about the prime time news networks as he once was in the past.
From what I have learned personally about narcissists, nothing irks them more than looking bad. Americans protesting in the streets makes Trump concerned about his worldwide image; he could care less about his illegal policies, racism, and murderous activities against Venezuelans. Of course, he fears even peaceful opposition in the streets, but his narcissitic hide is also concerned about his image as a world leader. Why, he ponders to himself, I got to stop the people from protesting, because it makes me look bad--as if I do not have iron rule in this country. Truly a sick and dumb piece of conceited sh*t. He looks bad 24/7, every second of his wretched existence as he wreaks havoc upon this nation. Somehow, that realization has not caught up to him yet, and as a textbook narcissist, it never will. It is not just about how he feels about democratic opposition, but he is also concerned about how protests make him look on an international scale. He cares less what it looks like to the American public, but to people like Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong Un, and the other fellow dictators he worships, he feels minimized by demonstrations. Yes, he is a true narcissistic sociopath, who likes little girls. A dangerous S.O.B. and such a characterization would make his sleaze gut swell with pride.
I recall how Trump pitched a fit when the tariffs against China were first implemented early in this second administration, because Amazon was initially posting the additional costs next to each product. I do not think this "betrayal" even lasted a full day, before he wet all of his incontinence briefs up in a frenzied tizzy and started making threats. How dare Amazon try to make him look bad, as if he implemented the tariffs which are costing Americans more than they can afford!
Yet, truly the most important development regarding demonstrations is how Donald Trump is trying to criminalize voices of dissent! Be careful out there October 18 at the No Kings Protest, wherever you may be protesting this Nazi administration. Trump wants the slightest, tiniest reason to declare martial law, and contrary to what a lot of black people believe, Trump will find a reason to eventually declare it whether black people protest or not! Particularly as the mid-terms loom ahead, because it is looking not so bright for the Republicans. And just assume there will be cookie cutter Kyle Rittenhouse type folks afloat in these crowds, along with Proud Boys and other kindred if they have not already signed up for ICE. They will deliberately seek to agitate and provoke the people actively protesting in the hopes of confrontation. If it appears drama is occurring, whip out your smartphones and start recording, lest the Republicans try to change the facts. We should try to protect others who may face illegal and unethical prosecution for being a "domestic terrorist" by substantiating facts through our evidence.
Peaceful protest is the best way, but we know Trump will not care whether the protestors are peaceful or not. He will lie, manufacture, manipulate facts surrounding the behavior of the crowds, and eventually yell Antifa to get his way. But--we cannot back down to this tyrant. The more given to him, the more he will take. If we want a future for this country, for our children, and to get out democracy back, we are going to have to take a stand: by utilizing peaceful protest, social media platforms, voting, and engaging in other peaceful methods. Yet this stand may cost us our very lives. For the blacks in our country-- not so long ago, it caused many people their lives for taking a stand, and even the lives of some of other races. I see no reason to exempt myself by hiding and declaring it is someone else's problem. I always had problems thrown my way because I am black, but now I got two war fronts: one for my civil rights as a black person, and one to maintain our democracy which is necessary to defend and keep my civil rights. Complacency, apathy, and resignation will get us nowhere in this constitutional crisis.
