The Radicals Were Out in Full Force at 'No Kings' Rally

PJ Media

No, the "No Kings" rally was not solely made up of Antifa and Antisemites, but it sure had its share of the radicals. 

In fact, the majority of the "No Kings" protesters were aging Boomers just one step away from needing walkers (if they had not already graduated to that stage of life yet). As far as I can tell, the septugenarians and octogenarians outnumbered the Hamas advicates and the people who were calling for executions.

Yet they happily coexisted. They share a mission, which is to destroy the Trump administration. They can fight it out for ultimate power later. 

The reason for this, I assume, is that liberals are quite used to hearing their friends muse about killing Republicans. To them, Jay Jones is just another liberal.

The glorification of revolution has always had a hold on the leftist imagination. Che Guevara T-shirts, raised fists, the imagination that everybody to the right of Karl Marx is a "fascist" in need of eradication have been themes for decades. 

Violence in the name of a great cause has an attraction to a certain mindset. People for whom resentment is an identity and explosions of anger are symbolic of a great moral cause. 

There have always been dispossessed people whose resentment leads them down dark paths, but revolutionary movements are almost always the result of elites--usually the "elites" who never quite make it as far up the ladder as they feel they should have--coalescing around the idea that the system is rigged against them and the proper response is tearing it down.

They consider themselves a "vanguard"--they cannot lead society from the top, so they insert themselves into the role of leaders of the dispossessed. People at the top may cosplay as allies, but nobody at Davos really wants the system toppled, just bent to their will. College professors and graduate students, school teachers and some journalists, though, consider themselves undervalued. 

Even people like David French and George Conway are angry that they have lost power and influence by choosing to oppose Donald Trump, so they have switched sides and become cosplayers for the radicals. French is deeply upset at the Telegram chat of Young Republicans, but proudly went to a "No Kings" rally where people celebrated the murder of Charlie Kirk and called for the Intifada to be "globalized."

French switched sides from socially conservative to pro-choice and pro-trans because, well, why not? His goal is to be revered, and he is reviled on the right now. So he shows his true colors by adopting the radicals and trying to get in front of the parade. 

George Conway, on the other hand, went fully Antifa, and is proud of identifying with the group. Not that he would ever put himself at risk. 

He is the "vanguard." The MSNBC radical. 

For all the talk of "norms," this is who they are. No Kings couldn't even stick to the "No Kings" theme when push came to shove. Abroad, in deference to kings and queens they like, they changed the name.

It's not the "what" they object to, but the "who." They want the power. That's it, in a nutshell. And it always is that way with revolutions.

: The Schumer Shutdown is here. Rather than put the American people first, Chuck Schumer and the radical Democrats forced a government shutdown for healthcare for illegals. They own this.
