Just a thought...

100% AGREE! The no kings protests are great, but won’t move the needle. And you know it’s true.

Showing up every few months lets the powers that be know of our displeasure, but it hasn't brought about change. Remember, last time Trump responded with an AI video of himself in a plane, wearing a crown and dumping poop on the protesters.

The assault on our country and our democracy has been relentless, our demand for change has to be equally relentless.

The marketing for this mcmovement has been so effective that people associate it with any and all opposition to MAGA and strongly identify with it. Any criticism of it is then seen as a betrayal, as opposition to the opposition, as it were. Opppsition to the MAGA movement and the regime is thereby circumscribed and tamed, rendered performative and ineffective.
