Rick Wilson - No Kings: The MAGA Monarchy Fantasy

We don’t do kings in this country.

That was the whole damn point of the American Revolution, of our founding, of our Constitution, and of the sacrifices of millions of men and women over the generations sworn to protect a nation liberated from monarchy and tyranny. George Washington and his men didn’t fight a war, freeze at Valley Forge, and turn down the crown they offered him just so Donald Trump could waddle into the White House throne room like an orange George III with a golf cart instead of a royal carriage and a cheeseburger valet standing at his elbow.

“No kings.”

It’s not a slogan.

It’s a founding commandment. The men who inked the Declaration of Independence weren’t asking nicely for better cable news coverage or fewer mean tweets: they were putting their necks on the chopping block to smash a monarchy and build a republic where no man was above the law. They didn’t risk everything so some soft-handed tech princelings from Silicon Valley could resurrect feudalism with Trump as the bloated monarch and they as the new Dukes and Barons.

“Viscount Palo Alto” may have a nice ring to it, but not in America, motherfucker.
