Protesting the direction of the country under Donald Trump, people will gather Saturday in the nation’s capital and communities across the U.S. for “ No Kings ” demonstrations — what the president’s Republican Party is calling “Hate America” rallies.

This is the third mass mobilization since Trump’s return to the White House and it is expected to be the largest.

It comes against the backdrop of a government shutdown that not only has closed federal programs and services, but is testing the core balance of power as an aggressive executive confronts Congress and the courts in ways that organizers warn are a slide toward American authoritarianism.

You people literally founded your country because you had a beef with kings. How does going back to the spirit of what forged your self-proclaimed "greatest country on earth" equal "hating America"?

Or is this something I'm just too Canadian to understand?

It's projection. Republicans hate America

Republicans hate democracy because it means minorities, other religions, the poors, and women have equal say.

It's the tried and true Republican tactic - accuse your opposition of what you are actually doing. Works well with the dolts.

To MAGAts, whatever their dictator Trump wants is American. Anything that gets in his way isn't.

Depressing, but simple.

They don't want women/people of color/lgbtq to have the right to chose their King leader.

The issue is that a good third of America is now supporting a fascist megalomaniac that wants to be king.

[–] RunJun@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 day ago

Huh? Of course the fascists decry any show of resistance.

Maga which is all republicans at this point given the speaker of the house comments, hate the constitution which is america. They are populists though so they claim the flag and the anthem and them are america not the literal law of the land that lays out what it is and how it functions.
