Some of the protest movements of the 1960s.
Those are real protest movements.
And the way you know they're real protest movements is not just because they have attached demands to them, but also because they end up getting crushed by the state.
And the thing that I hate so much about the Snow King protest is, you know, I started writing about politics.
I stopped practicing law and started writing about politics in 2005.
largely in response to the civil liberties abuses of the Bush and Cheney administration ushered in in the name of the war on terror, which was accompanied by this whole litany of these very radical Article 2 theories about how basically the president is limitless in what he can do, really monarchically creating the president as a monarch, like these theories that Cheney had been working on since the 70s.
And those extended into the Obama administration and these people who were at the No Kings rally are the same ones who are saying, oh, we have to hold hands with Dick Cheney and Liz Cheney because these are the real patriots, even though we don't agree with them ideologically, or who defended Obama when he was embracing these radical theories of presidential power.
And so to watch them now suddenly find their voice about the limits of presidential power and the No Kings protest when in reality it's just masquerading as this more noble thing that's really a Democratic Party protest.

There's nothing even interesting about it.
I mean, you know, look, I have been going through this for a long time, you know, and especially if you're somebody who has fixed principles, you know, like people have been debating for 20 years now, like what is my ideology and which is my party and am I in the left or am I libertarian or am I MAGA or am I this or am I that?
Ultimately, the reason why that happens is because you don't attach yourself to a particular political party and enslave yourself to it.
If you do that, I mean, I'm a Democrat.
Okay, that means everything that Trump does or anything the Republicans do, I'm against.
And everything the Democrats do, I'm in favor.
Like I recently heard Kyle Kulinski say, he said, the worst Democrat, whoever you think is the worst Democrat, is a thousand times better than the best Republican.
So you have Democrats who support what he claims to think is a genocide.
You have Democrats who are pro-genocide, and then you have Republicans who are against the genocide, like Marjorie Taylor Greene or Thomas Massey or whomever.
Lots of Republican people who are conservative journalists and pundits as well.
But because he has fixated his identity in this very banal partisan Democrat versus Republican box where the worst Democrat is infinitely better than even the best Republican –
