NO KINGS: What about what happened in 2020?

Do the No Kings protesters even acknowledge what happened in 2020? During Covid, thousands of first responders, doctors, nurses, soldiers, federal employees and factory workers lost their jobs and livelihoods for exercising their freedom of choice by not complying to political mandates and untested vaccines. Businesses were being forcibly shut down — some forever — based on a “king-like” decree. Where was your “No Kings” protest then? Do you ever look in the mirror? 

Ironically, on the front page of Sunday’s Coeur d’Alene Press, one of the protesters has a sign that read “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” I wonder if they have any idea what’s been going on with those living in Iran or Venezuela under truly oppressive rule? Freeing the oppressed sounds like the actions of a good and strong leader to me. 

Subsidizing these woke agendas (no kings, no ICE, no laws) further destroys America. You (as a wokee) are still allowed to do you as long as you do not break our countries laws or harm others. You can make believe whatever you want. But I and millions of other Americans demand the right to ignore you and we will not subsidize your “special interests.” We are all blessed by our creator just by being free Americans. We should be thankful that no matter how silly your argument, you can protest unimpeded. That is true “no king “ freedom.
