On October 18, the "No Kings" protests returned with even greater intensity, fueled by what critics describe as false narratives.
According to Indivisible, President Trump is an out-of-control dictator who is stripping Americans of their rights, tearing families apart, and completely abusing his power. These protests were designed to raise awareness of these claims and draw attention to what organizers view as the "danger" and "damage" President Trump and his administration have inflicted on America.
A Question of Irony
Protesters claim to be saving democracy while waving flags of foreign countries and carrying banners with vague and vulgar slogans—all while protesting a President who has consistently put America first.
If we were truly under a dictatorship ruled by a king, these protests wouldn't be allowed to take place at all.
The Reality of Presidential Accomplishments
While Democratic leaders perpetuate narratives of tyranny and chaos, the facts tell a different story. President Trump's administration has focused on tangible achievements that directly benefit American citizens and enhance national security.
Border security has been strengthened through concrete actions, not to tear families apart as protesters claim, but to protect American communities from genuine threats. The administration has reinstated and enhanced border wall construction, increased funding for Border Patrol agents, and implemented the Remain in Mexico policy to prevent exploitation of asylum loopholes. These measures have led to decreased illegal crossings and improved ability to process legitimate asylum claims. The administration has prioritized the safety of legal residents and citizens over the demands of open-border advocates who seem more concerned with political optics than with the welfare of American families.
The economy has shown resilience under policies that prioritize American workers and businesses. The administration has cut taxes for middle-class families, reduced burdensome regulations on small businesses, and negotiated trade deals that protect American manufacturing jobs. Energy independence has been achieved through increased domestic oil and gas production, freeing America from reliance on hostile foreign nations. Unemployment rates, particularly among minority communities, reached historic lows before external disruptions. Yet these accomplishments are consistently downplayed or ignored by those who would rather focus on manufactured outrage.
The Immigration Debate: Safety vs. Sentiment
Contrary to protesters' claims, ICE agents are not separating families—they are protecting citizens from criminals who are in the country illegally. Thousands of these immigrants have serious crimes attached to their records, including assault, murder, and human and drug trafficking, to name just a few. The Trump administration has prioritized deportation of convicted criminals, gang members, and those with outstanding warrants. Operations have specifically targeted MS-13 gang members, cartel operatives, and repeat offenders who pose direct threats to American communities.
The Democratic narrative paints enforcement of immigration law as cruel and inhumane. But what about the humanity owed to American citizens whose communities have been impacted by criminal activity? What about the families who have lost loved ones to preventable crimes committed by individuals who should never have been in the country? What about the trafficking victims—particularly women and children—who are rescued when border enforcement disrupts criminal smuggling operations?
Common sense dictates that a nation has both the right and the responsibility to control its borders and protect its citizens. Yet this basic principle is labeled as authoritarian by those who seem to have abandoned logic in favor of emotional appeals.
Where Has Common Sense Gone?
Democratic leaders who support these gatherings say they are demanding transparency and human decency from the President. The irony is staggering.
Isn't that what we, as the American people, have been demanding of our Democratic leaders for years?
The lack of common sense surrounding these protests is astounding. Demonstrators rail against alleged authoritarianism while enjoying the very freedoms that prove such claims false. They condemn border enforcement while ignoring the real-world consequences of unchecked illegal immigration. They demand accountability from a President who has been subjected to unprecedented scrutiny while giving a pass to their own leaders who have operated with far less transparency.
When did prioritizing the safety and prosperity of American citizens become controversial? When did enforcing existing laws become tyranny? When did putting America first become something to protest rather than celebrate?
A History of Democratic Contradictions
The contradictions don't end with current policy debates. The recent history of Democratic leadership reveals a pattern of actions that undermine their own rhetoric about democracy and transparency.
Joe Biden was pushed out of the presidential race, and Kamala Harris was installed as the nominee without a single primary vote. This bypassing of the democratic process went largely unchallenged by the same voices now claiming to defend democracy in the streets.
Democrats tried everything in their power to remove Trump from the ballot. Court cases and lawsuits filed against him were subsequently thrown out. The irony of attempting to eliminate voter choice while claiming to protect democracy seems lost on these protesters.
The misinformation fueled by the media and Democratic political leaders during the COVID pandemic was nothing short of horrific. People were forced to choose between taking an experimental vaccine or losing their jobs through federal mandates that were later ruled unconstitutional. Children were forced to learn behind screens despite evidence showing minimal risk to young people and devastating consequences of isolation. Small businesses were forced to close while large corporations remained open, destroying livelihoods and transferring wealth upward. Impressionable young people were isolated and fed harmful propaganda daily. Churches were shut down while protests were deemed acceptable. Yet now, those same leaders lecture Americans about transparency and bodily autonomy.
The Disconnect from Reality
The "No Kings" protests represent a fundamental disconnect from reality. Protesters are outraged over policies designed to keep them safe while seemingly unconcerned about actual threats to their freedom and wellbeing.
They protest a President who has worked to secure borders, strengthen the economy, and restore American sovereignty. The administration has renegotiated unfair trade agreements like NAFTA, replacing it with the USMCA to protect American workers. It has moved the U.S. Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, recognizing reality and strengthening our relationship with a key ally. It has brokered historic Middle East peace agreements through the Abraham Accords, bringing stability to a volatile region. It has rebuilt military readiness after years of budget cuts and deferred maintenance. Meanwhile, they overlook or excuse the actions of their own leaders who have expanded government overreach, suppressed dissenting voices, and implemented policies that have harmed working families.
Common sense would suggest that if someone claims to be fighting tyranny, they should direct their energy toward actual threats to freedom rather than manufactured controversies. Common sense would indicate that actions speak louder than words, and the Trump administration's record speaks for itself.
Conclusion
To any person with a logical and sound mindset, this makes absolutely no sense. The "No Kings" protests are built on a foundation of contradictions, fueled by misleading narratives, and disconnected from the reality of what President Trump has actually accomplished for American safety and prosperity.
True common sense recognizes that securing borders protects communities, that enforcing laws maintains order, and that putting America first is not authoritarianism—it's basic governance. Until protesters are willing to engage with facts rather than feelings, and logic rather than rhetoric, these demonstrations will remain nothing more than political theater divorced from the reality most Americans experience every day.
