1. What's the best way to defeat kings at any level?
2nd Amendment....guns and bullets.
2. When the news media shows images of the NO KINGs protest...what do you see?
White folks (probably 99-percent).....majority of women (60-percent)....half the crowd being over age 50.
3. Reasoning to hype NO KINGs right now?
Election in 3 weeks....to get people in some thrilled state of mind.
4. Chief chatter of a interviewed NO KINGs guy/gal?
Get Trump. Oddly....it revolves around this....Trump this....Trump that.
5. Has there been other NO KINGs movements?
If you go back to the Andrew Jackson period....YES. Oddly, this was created by the Whig Party (the Republicans), and it solidified the party 'brand'.
You can also review the Lincoln and FDR periods....to find lesser movements/success. Lincoln's NO KINGs element was created by southern Democrats....while FDR's were Republican in nature.
6. Is there a public perception problem?
If you had a hundred adults at some protest and asked them to name one king (other than Trump)....Five or six would probably name King Herrod (Jesus period)....with a dozen suggesting that Hitler/Mussolini both were kings. At least 20 folks would name King Kong. At least one would name King Louie....the orangutan “king” of the jungle in The Jungle Book. And at least five would name Aerys II Targaryen (who was known as the “Mad King”), from Game of Thrones.
7. Will the NO KINGs crowd cross over.....as Trump leaves, and be anti-Rubio/anti-Vance?
I would require three shots of bourbon to ponder this idea. In the case of Rubio and his humor....he'd likely announce himself in some king-role....with a baseball hat designed as a crown. Cubans would go crazy over the 'brand'.
