"We are confronting the possible end to our republic, Nye told the crowd. He continued: We are here to tell our lawmakers that what's going on in our government is wrong. They must stop the abuses of this petulant president and his circle of sycophants. No thrones. No crowns. No kings. This president and his associates cannot tolerate dissent. To them, our free speech is frightening. They are arresting people and denying due process in courts."
"No thrones! No crowns! No kings@ Their king had refused to honor the law. Their king has refused to let lawmakers be elected. The king had made court judges dependent on his will. They cited the king sending, quote, swarms of officers to harass our people. Their language referred to, quote, cruelty and faithlessness scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous of ages."
Participants at a No Kings rally received warnings that the republic could be endangered by President Donald Trump and his confederates. The current administration was accused of refusing scientific fact and of intolerating dissent by arresting people and denying due process. Examples cited included attempts to silence television hosts and efforts to fire or indict civil servants, prosecutors, judges, and cabinet members. Comparisons were made to King George III, invoking the Declaration of Independence’s catalogue of abuses tied to absolute authority, including controlling judges, harassing citizens with officers, elevating the military above civil power, and cutting off trade.
