Saturday, March 28, 2026 is a "No Kings Protest" demonstration day, with people participating all across the United States in protest against Trump administration policies. I am curious to see how quick Donald Trump's goons throw out their bogus "Antifa" term against the protestors, while fabricating a fat lie by "justifying" war in behalf of the Iranian people who were stifled by Iran's regime to prevent their protests. "Hypocrisy" is this administration middle name.
Protest is extremely important, as it is an outward display exhibiting discontent with a government, and is a natural process in any democracy. Non-democratic nations crack down and suppress protests, such as Russia, Iran, North Korea, and more. Has this not been happening here as well? We are under an authoritarian regime, but we must come to terms with this fact; it will take more than protest to get our democracy back.
We must also vote, not just in the mid-terms, but in all elections. We must raise our voices, through social media platforms, blogs, and podcasts. We must talk one on one to those who are dealing with resignation and disinterest, and explain to them why and how our political environment will effect their lives. Apathy is a major, significant problem in the United States. We must vote against all who support Donald Trump out of their elected offices, as Trump is a 34 count felon, a man who likes little girls, a white supremacist, and a narcissistic loon who has launched us into war, and military excursions resulting into cold, calculated murder.
Voting is not enough, however, as protest is not enough. WE must come to terms, that WE must do more! Please consider a "general strike", as we could shut this nation down to a standstill, in a short matter of time if we were organized. But enough people need to be on board for a general strike to work. Please review my previous post referring to general strikes here. It would work, but it will take sacrificing our consumerism and in some cases employment, for a duration. General strikes are very, very effective in bring down regimes and effecting change. Express the idea of a general strike at demonstrations, and use other opportunities to promote the idea. General strikes have toppled many leaders and rogue authoritarian regimes.
Be careful out there Saturday. Trump will likely deploy his ICE Gestapo to large protests in urban areas, and ICE agents will look for and likely create opportunities to accost innocent people. We have a right to protest and a right to free speech. In certain areas, even a right to carry arms openly. And it goes without saying, those engaged in No Kings Protests are simply peaceful demonstrators, exercising their rights. We must organize and fight to maintain those rights, because Trump is on an agenda to crush our rights.
