This one roars.
3,000+ events on the map. Millions already committed. March 28, we donât ask for our freedom â we show up and claim it.
No thrones. No crowns. No kings.

We face dictatorship, a police state, concentration camps, genocide, and world war.

(77,655 posts)It is a cute marketing slogan based on popular myths about the American Revolution. It is historically inaccurate and dumbs people down. It also seriously understates the danger.
Think about it. What if the colonists - those smugglers, land thieves and slave owners - had not overturned that terrible tyrannical monarchy. Why we might have turned out like, oh, say, Canada. The horrors!
MAGA is the direct descendant of the slave owners, the white settler project, not King George.

(3,245 posts)Honestly, I would've preferred "No Tyrants" because it dovetails well with "Sic semper tyrannis." Really, someone
should call me before they decide on a slogan.
It is what it is.

(3,905 posts)It isn't a matter of semantics. Opposition to the regime is growing and I think people would be in the streets no matter the slogan. That is driven by real world conditions, not by marketing.
