Why MAGA Can't Handle Million of Americans Saying: "No Kings"

Mike Nellis

MAGA world is absolutely crashing out over this weekend’s No Kings protests—7 million Americans hitting the streets in a peaceful show of love for country, love for community, and a total rejection of the fascism they’re trying to shove down our throats. I went to the Chicago protest, and it was overflowing with love, creativity, signs, and patriotism. I was stunned by how many people were carrying American flags.

Someone even pulled me aside and said they’d seen me on my show with Joe Walsh last Friday—where we talked about reclaiming patriotism from Republicans, who use it like a damn shield to deflect criticism from the harm they’re actively causing to people we care about. And we need to flip that. We need to make the American flag a promise—of what this country can be.

Seeing people out there doing just that? Incredible. And to meet one of you who heard that message? Even cooler. Hello out there, if you’re reading this.

Meanwhile, the MAGA influencers and politicians are losing it. Seven million Americans take to the streets and instead of taking the hint—that they are not popular—they start spiraling. Don’t let them fool you: these protests matter, and they terrify the right because they blow up the fantasy that Trump is some unstoppable juggernaut, beloved by all. The bigger and more visible the resistance becomes, the weaker they get. And you can see it in how incoherent their reaction has been.
