The “No Kings” Rally Wasn’t a Hate America Rally — It Was a Love America Rally
The “No Kings” Rally Wasn’t a Hate America Rally — It Was a Love America Rally
About 7 million people participated in the No Kings Rally this past weekend. Speaker Mike Johnson dismissed the No Kings Rally as a “Hate America Rally,” claiming it was filled with “leftists, Marxists, and people who don’t love America.” That’s the kind of divisive rhetoric meant to silence dissent, not understand it.
The people who showed up weren’t anti-American. They were concerned Americans, Republicans, Democrats, and independents, who believe this country is veering toward authoritarianism. The phrase “No Kings” wasn’t an insult to the nation; it was a reminder of what our nation was built on: We the People, not we the ruler.
Dissent Is Not Disloyalty
This country was founded by people who refused to be ruled by a king. They stood up against tyranny, unfair taxation, and unchecked power. The same principle still matters today. Americans who raise their voices against corruption, abuse of power, or blind allegiance to one man are practicing the very freedom the Founders fought for.
To call that “hating America” is to forget what patriotism truly is. True patriots don’t wave a flag blindly, they protect what it stands for.
Loving America Means Demanding Better
If you care about the Constitution, free elections, accountability, and truth, you belonged at that rally. These are people who pay their taxes, raise their kids, and work hard, but also see dangerous trends: attacks on the press, disregard for law, and loyalty tests to a politician instead of to the nation.
The crowd wasn’t chanting to destroy America, they were pleading to save it from the path of personality cults and political idolatry.
America Was Never Meant to Have a King
“No Kings” isn’t a slogan of hate. It’s the oldest American creed there is. Our founders risked everything to create a system where no one, not a monarch, not a president, not a political party, is above the law. The people at that rally stood for that principle. Trump's response? Watch the video above but mocking the seven million people who turned out.
So let’s stop calling them names. Let’s start listening.
Because when Americans gather peacefully to defend democracy, that’s not a hate rally. That’s America at its best.
We Still Hold the Power
Even though Trump has favored the top one percent, the truth is that the other 99 percent, ordinary working Americans, still hold the real power. We can make a difference where it counts: at the ballot box. Make sure you’re registered to vote, and when Election Day comes, vote in person if at all possible. Don’t give anyone an excuse to claim your vote didn’t count.
This is still our country. And it’s still We the People who decide where it goes from here.
Final Thought
If you believe loving America means speaking up for what’s right — share this message. Let’s remind our leaders that We the People still means something.
Check Your Registration
Before the next election, make sure your voice will be heard. 👉 Check your voter registration at Vote.gov
Your vote is your voice — use it to bring back common sense to America. This is the single most important thing you can do. If you don't like seeing the wealthy get big tax cuts while working Americans no longer have access to affordable health care or even food for their children, then do something. Register to vote, get involved, support candidates who are actually working for you, not themselves! Call your representatives and let them know how you feel. If enough of us call, we will make a difference.
Not comparing us to Hitler's Germany but there are some unsettling similarities: the everyday people did not speak up when things started to turn evil. We can sit by and complain or you and I can make a difference Today.
