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!

@WowwGirl What? NO! Where do you people get this stuff? They never found enough evidence to take him to criminal court. The only thing that happened was a bunch of parents came forward, made the claim that he had abused children, and got settlements. He was acquitted in criminal court, but that didn't stop the rumors.
