Hey Americans, why "no kings"?

American friends, looking on from Canada I am happy about yesterday's widespread peaceful protests against your incipient dictator. But why "No Kings"?

Here in Canada, many of us are quite happy to have a king -- our constitutional monarch, King Charles III, who recently visited Canada to open Parliament, as a gesture very much designed to show that we are different from the USA.


As an anarchist, I value having a Head of State who has zero coercive power.

But I am guessing that when you Americans think of kings, you have poor old George III in mind, and that trouble he gave you with taxation without representation and all that rot?

I am curious!

Because we don't like dictatorships
@KingofBones1 Then it should be "No Dictators", no?

@ThePatientAnarchist I think the reason they chose no Kings though was to say as during the revolution in 1775 no King George Who basically was an English dictator imposing his Iron Will upon the colonists
