Vox Populi:

Millions of US residents, in hundreds of locations across our nation, showed up for “No Kings” rallies on the weekend of Oct 18 and 19, 2025, to protest Trump’s gradual imposition of fascist rule. Unfortunately, those rallies continued to mostly uphold Democratic Party leaders and elected officials as those who will “lead us from the wilderness” despite repeated polls showing a continuing decline of support for that party.

Despite the clearly and rapidly growing appearance of fascist ideals, the demonizing of marginalized groups, the militarization of police actions, the massive usurpation of the right to a “free” press, and the strong hints that Trump may impose the Insurrection Act which could indefinitely postpone elections, most of the speakers at rallies continued to behave as if it will all be fixed in the midterm elections. Somehow, a party with the anemic program and platform that again amounts to nothing more than, “We’re not Trump” is, in the hopes and dreams of the Democratic Party, expected to excite enough of the voting public to reject the Trump administration’s program and policies.
