Donald Trump isn’t a king – he’s an obsession. If you observe the modern Left, you’d think Trump is an all-powerful monarch occupying every corner of their minds. He’s not ruling them – but he’s absolutely dominating them. He’s their obsession.
Just look at the scenes from the recent ‘No Kings’ protests.
In Philadelphia, demonstrators gathered under the banner of anti-authoritarianism while chanting ‘Death to America,’ ‘Death to Israel,’ and ‘Long live the intifada,’ waving Palestinian flags as if they were at a rally in Gaza rather than a major American city. In New York City, the message became even more explicit: ‘There is only one solution – Communist revolution.’ Not reform. Not debate. Revolution.
And we’re supposed to believe this is about opposing tyranny?
The hypocrisy isn’t subtle – it’s staggering. Protesters decry ‘kings’ while hoisting communist flags, symbols of regimes responsible for mass repression, famine, and death on a scale that dwarfs anything in American history. They don’t want kings, we’re told. They just seem perfectly comfortable with dictators.
This isn’t an accident. It’s the natural evolution of a Democratic Party that has been overtaken by its progressive base. Moderates are an endangered species. John Fetterman is a rare exception who occasionally breaks with the progressive orthodoxy. But exceptions don’t define a party – its loudest, most ideologically committed voices do.
And those voices are increasingly radical – and anti-American.
Consider Minnesota State Rep. Leigh Finke, who branded Republicans ‘fascist thugs’ at a ‘No Kings’ rally. That’s not fringe rhetoric anymore – such language is now mainstream Democratic party discourse. Or take Ilhan Omar, who stood at a ‘No Kings’ protest and suggested the United States is not a beacon of hope, but a bastion of authoritarianism.
This is what Democrats think of the people they are supposed to represent – in reality Democrats don’t want to govern, they want to rule.
In Boston, at another ‘No Kings’ rally, activists declared that ‘the U.S. will never be free until the stewardship of this land is returned to its indigenous peoples.’ Standing shoulder-to-shoulder with elected Democrats like Ed Markey and Ayanna Pressley, the message wasn’t reform—it was something far more radical: a rejection of the legitimacy of the United States itself.
All of this unfolds while the media dutifully describes ‘No Kings’ as massive festivals of welcoming (even nonpartisan) resistance to Trump’s ‘fascist’ tendencies – complete with celebrities, like Jane Fonda, and musicians, like Bruce Springsteen.
It’s not. It’s a coordinated movement backed by hundreds of organizations with billions in combined resources, many of which openly advocate socialist or revolutionary change. This isn’t grassroots dissent – it’s institutionalized radicalism.
And notice the pattern: no matter the issue, this coalition consistently aligns itself against American interests.
On immigration, Democrats show hostility toward law enforcement and sympathy for criminal aliens. On culture, it’s a relentless focus on dividing Americans by race, gender, and identity. And on foreign policy, it’s a tendency to support or excuse regimes that are openly hostile to the United States.
Take Iran.
While activists scream ‘fascism’ at home, they spread misinformation about what’s happening abroad. The Islamic regime in Iran has brutally suppressed its own people, at times killing thousands in a matter of days. It is, by any honest definition, authoritarian.
For years, leading Democrats – from Antony Blinken to Jen Psaki, Christopher Wray, Lloyd Austin, and Chris Murphy – spoke with urgency and clarity about Iran as a growing threat, warning its nuclear ‘breakout time’ was shrinking from months to mere weeks, highlighting its support for terrorism and regional proxies, and even exposing assassination plots on U.S. soil. The consistent message was that Iran was advancing rapidly and dangerously. But now, with Donald Trump back in power, much of that rhetoric has softened or shifted, with the same voices downplaying the immediacy of the threat or framing U.S. responses as the greater danger—revealing a striking contrast between their prior warnings and their current political posture.
On Iran, it’s not that Trump is a king – he’s just not their ‘king’. Under Biden or Obama, Iran was a serious, imminent threat. Under Trump, confronting Iran is a ‘war of choice’ by a fascist-leaning president.
‘Fascism,’ in their hands, has become a political weapon, not a serious description.
Meanwhile, back in America, the spectacle continues. Social media is filled with videos of ‘No Kings’ activists confronting and harassing ICE agents—taunting them, filming them, trying to provoke a reaction. We’re told these agents are the ‘foot soldiers of a fascist regime,’ yet they’re approached openly on public streets, mocked without consequence, and largely ignore the provocation.
It’s beyond parody.
Because here’s the truth: this movement isn’t really about opposing kings. It’s about dismantling the foundations of the American system – economic, cultural, and political – and replacing them with something entirely different.
Call it neo-Marxism. Call it radical progressivism. Whatever the label, the goal is transformation, not reform.
And that’s why Donald Trump looms so large in their imagination.
He represents, to them, a history and culture they despise – the American experiment, imperfect but enduring. He’s not a king or an authoritarian, no matter how many times they repeat the claim. He’s a standard-bearer for American Exceptionalism who refuses to accept their premises, who challenges their narrative, and who, above all else, refuses to apologize for the country they are so eager to condemn.
He’s not their king.
But make no mistake—he’s their obsession.
