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!

@ThePatientAnarchist No. I would be extremely happy if northern BC Alberta Sask Manitoba and as much as Northern Ontario as wants leaves Southern Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes to form our own republic of Western Canada. We have more options than simply jumping from one extremely corrupt nation (Canada) and joining an almost equally corrupt USA.
