‘No Kings Day’ rally in Utica was decidedly Pro-American
NEW YORK NIGHTS
You will undoubtedly hear from your usual MAGA letter-writers that the “No Kings” rallies were “anti-American.” Yet we can assure people of the exact opposite.
While the signs and the sentiments at the Utica event were certainly anti-Trump and against his exhaustingly cruel, inhuman policies, there were also many American flags proudly displayed.
“No Kings Day” was a reminder that we love our country and we hate how Trump is shredding and distorting it. This was a wonderful, peaceful community event!
One thing we did notice was the diligence of the Indivisible organizers in making sure the rally obeyed the basic laws. Quite often we heard, “Please don’t stand or march in the road;” “Let’s all cross Genesee only when the light changes;” and “We don’t want to impede traffic!”
It struck us that, if Republicans cared about the law even half as much as Indivisible did that we wouldn’t need a “No Kings Day!”
