Millions of ‘No Kings’ protesters are gathering across the country
Psychotherapist Jonathan Alpert joins Fox & Friends Weekend to discuss the nationwide ‘No Kings’ protests. He characterizes the anti-Trump demonstrations as “bad group therapy,” driven by a culture of resentment and an unhealthy fixation on politics.
I’ll let you in on a little secret: in the performing arts, the most annoying people are puppeteers. This is because they make you look at their absurd papier-mâché creation and then pretend it’s the most important thing you’ve ever seen.
This is exactly what the ‘No Kings’ protesters who take to America’s streets every few months represent. Even those who hold offensive and crude signs instead of dolls demand to be taken seriously when they are anything but.
The very name of these protests is a farcical facade, a false mask of false outrage, because President Donald Trump is not king. It’s an absurd argument on its face, because believe me, if Trump were king, the Republican Senate would have broken the filibuster and passed the Save America Act by now.
If Trump were king, every civilian worker at Immigration Customs and Enforcement would have been paid last month, instead of pinching pennies.

I also imagine that King Donald would have approved a few more of his judicial appointments.
The idea that Trump just does what he wants is ridiculous. The man cannot use the men’s room without an Obama-appointed federal judge trying to block his access.
Let’s take a look at some of the crazy outbursts the country was treated to during Saturday’s nationwide protests.

Here’s what Hollywood legend turned old man shouting at the clouds Robert De Niro had to say at the No Kings Day event in New York: “He can’t do all the damn things he’s done without the conspiracy of Congress and the goons in his administration.”
That doesn’t really seem like an all-powerful king to me.
What about the congresswoman from Somalia, I’m sorry, Minneapolis, Ilhan Omar? This was her strange take: “I never could have imagined that the day would come when we looked down on this kind of creeping authoritarianism.”

Once again, the nature of this so-called authoritarianism was not explained.
And as for the Somalis, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz chose to center them in his remarks, for some reason emphasizing that “we will never leave the side of the Somali Minnesotans… your great-grandchildren will be here when that orange clown is in the dustbin of history.”

This, of course, assumes there is room in the dustbin of history next to Walz’s own political career, which was destroyed when he allowed his beloved Somali fraudsters to steal billions from taxpayers.
MICHAEL SHELLENBERGER: THE LEFT IS GETTING PEOPLE KILLED
Let’s get back to this idea of puppets for a moment, because No Kings protesters are no longer just holding puppets, often of Trump doing something disgusting. They have now literally transformed into the dolls themselves.
The inflatable frog costume that came into fashion during the violent anti-ICE riots in Portland, and a nod to the furry sexual fetish, have now become ubiquitous at No Kings gatherings. The message of the costume is, “How can something so stupid and fun be dangerous?”
The rather obvious answer to that question is that when Democrats and the Left act like petulant children and refuse to fully fund Immigration and Customs Enforcement, innocent Americans like Loyola University student Sheridan Gorman are murdered by illegal immigrants.

You never see sad inflatable frogs at the funerals of our fallen.
Ultimately, everything about these No Kings protests is fake. Everything is a mask, everything is a puppet, because the central claim, that we are ruled by King Donald, is not only hyperbolic, but divorced from reality.

Unfortunately, despite the fictional nature of the central complaint about the No Kings protests, the left understands the value of large, in-person crowds, and these will continue to not only attract biased national media attention, but also inflame the Democrats’ base.
This is why news that Republicans are moving closer to a midterm convention, with reports of Dallas as the venue, is welcome for conservatives.

While it may not be in their nature, conservatives need to have a bigger footprint on the streets, and a convention is the perfect way to achieve that.
In the meantime, expect the senseless puppetry of progressive protest to continue unabated, and the puppets and the protesters to become increasingly angry and unhinged. Because as long as Donald Trump is president, crown, scepter and orb or not, these people will continue to lose their minds.
