No Kings
Why power always forgets who built the throne.
The left can mobilize millions in protests,
but the right can barely organize a few hundred for a rally.
So who really has their pulse on what the people need?
Maybe it’s not about sides at all.
Maybe it’s about energy.
The left has always been driven by movement — by people who feel something so deeply they have to get out in the street and scream it.
The right, meanwhile, has been driven by protection — by people who feel something so deeply they’re afraid it might change.
One pushes for progress.
The other guards tradition.
And both think they’re saving the world.
As I write this, we’re in the second or third wave of the No Kings protests — I can’t even remember anymore.
We’ve been at this for far too long.
But what always gives me hope
is that there are always more people willing to cry out against injustice
than there are people willing to support it.
And the truth is, authoritarianism can only hold on for so long —
especially among people who still consider themselves free.
Because with authoritarianism, it’s only a matter of time before everyone starts to feel attacked.
And that’s dangerous for those in power.
History has shown it again and again —
tyranny always begins with a crown and ends with a crowd.
Empires rot from within long before the people ever revolt.
It’s not the torches and pitchforks that bring them down —
it’s the whispers, the jokes, the quiet disbelief that spreads when the people stop fearing their rulers.
That’s what “No Kings” really means.
It’s not just a slogan.
It’s a reminder.
No one — no leader, no ideology, no billionaire, no president —
should stand so far above the people that we forget we built them.
Because once we forget that,
we start to kneel again.
And if we’ve learned anything from history,
it’s that human beings were never meant to stay on their knees.
Sooner or later, the people always remember.
They remember who they are, what they deserve, and what they built.
Power can borrow the throne for a while,
but the people own the ground it stands on.
No kings.
Not now.
Not ever.
The world doesn’t need kings.
It needs caretakers.
Builders.
People who remember that leadership isn’t about standing above,
it’s about standing with.
Every crown rusts.
Every throne breaks.
And when the dust settles, the only thing left standing
is the crowd.
Agree? Disagree?
Fact-check me — that’s the whole point
