Police said they arrested a man who drove his SUV through a “No Kings” protest Saturday, hitting at least one person.

The Culpeper Police Department (CPD) said officers stopped Joseph R. Checklick Jr, 21, of Culpeper after they saw him drive recklessly through the group in the area of 801 James Madison Hwy.

How could anyone be against no king protest?

Aren’t they saying yes kings if they are against it?

These boot lickers are getting out of hand

Because American politics is just an us vs them game. No reasoning, no discussion, just the other bad.

Behold the result of 100 years of two-party politics run amok.

The whole Maga cult is centered around boot licking.

Don't forget the "as long as the other person has it worse than me" rethoric.

Doesn't matter if they suffer, as long as the people they dislike suffer even more.

The "right wing" literally is the party of "preserving the norms and authority structures that gave power to the monarchy".

"Licking boots" is a foundational tenant of right-wing ideology.

[–] Professorozone@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago

Yes. That's exactly what they're saying. Plus,"I hate liberals."

Same reason they're against Antifa. You would think being anti-fascist is an easy position to take, but here we are.

There should be recreational sugar boots or rather just comfort boots you can carry around with and lick, it should be normalized like breastfeeding.

Not that I agree, but the logic is that the name is deceptive and they're just against Trump I assume. Just like a "protect the children" act has nothing to do with protecting children. Names aren't necessarily accurate.

[–] Crankenstein@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The name isn't deceptive. It is deliberate.

Yes, it is against Trump, but the reason is because Trump is behaving like a modern day, wannabe King/dictator.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 days ago

I know. I'm just saying the name being deliberate doesn't mean it's accurate. In this case I would say it is, but "the patriot act" is also deliberately chosen, but it's deceptive.
