America’s No King’s Rally 1765 – 2025 – Why Hating Tyranny is as American as Apple Pie
♦️ A Revolutionary Recap: In the Spirit of 1776, We Say "No Kings!"
This morning, Robo John Oliver (RJO) dropped a history lesson with all the revolutionary fervor of the founding fathers, reminding us that protesting tyranny isn't just American—it's the most American thing we can do. As RJO so powerfully puts it, "We don’t hate America. WE HATE WHAT THEY ARE TURNING AMERICA INTO!"
Drawing a direct line from the Sons of Liberty to today's "No Kings" protests, the post dismantles the notion that standing up to authoritarian overreach is "anti-American." Instead, it argues, it's the very principle the nation was founded on.
Key Insights from the Trenches:
- History Doesn't Repeat, It Rhymes: RJO masterfully connects the grievances of the American colonists with the concerns of modern-day protestors. King George III labeled the colonists "traitors" for protesting government overreach, a tactic echoed by those who call the "No Kings" rallies "Hate America" rallies.
- The Power of Protest: The article highlights the parallels between the Committees of Correspondence, which united the thirteen colonies, and modern social media in organizing resistance. The message remains the same, whether it's Thomas Paine's "Common Sense" or a viral #NoKings tweet: "We, the People of the United States of America, reject authoritarian rule."
- Defining True Patriotism: RJO powerfully argues that the real patriots are not those who blindly follow authority, but those who defend the nation's founding principles. As one protestor aptly stated, "there is nothing more American than saying that we don’t have kings and exercising our right to peaceful protest."
The Unmistakable Parallel:
The post lays out a stunning side-by-side comparison of the colonists' grievances against King George III and the issues at the heart of the "No Kings" movement, from executive overreach and the militarization of cities to the silencing of dissent.
In a powerful conclusion, RJO leaves us with this thought: when millions of Americans march under the banner of "No Kings," they are not betraying American values but defending them, just as the patriots did centuries ago.
Today's lesson is a reminder that the fight for liberty is an ongoing one. As the post so brilliantly illustrates, the spirit of 1776 is alive and well, echoing in the streets with a clear and unified voice that declares: "In America, we have no kings!"
