“Watching the ‘No Kings’ protests, a friend commented: ‘Democracy dies when the other side wins. Another rule they wouldn’t want to have turned back on them.’ That does seem to be the animating spirit not only of the various marches around the country, but of the entire anti-Trump resistance. President Trump’s crime isn’t anything he’s said, or done, or even believed (which, all too often, anti-Trump protesters can’t cogently describe anyway). It’s that he won, and he represents the other team. As Batya Ungar-Sargon put it: ‘The ‘No Kings’ rally isn’t protesting Trump but rather the agenda the majority [sic] of America voted for. The Left isn’t protesting a king but their fellow Americans. They aren’t standing up for democracy — they are protesting against it.'” [editor’s note: No “majority” voted for Trump. He received votes from only about 22.5% of Americans, and from slightly less than 50% of those who actually voted – TLK] (10/20/25)
