Dangerous new MAGA lie: Republicans smear peaceful protesters as ‘terrorists’
“Trump and the MAGA cronies know there are likely to be millions of people in the streets on October 18th for the No Kings protests. And so their strategy is to preemptively paint patriotic, dissenting Americans as literal terrorists,”

Reports indicate that President Trump plans to respond to the October 18 "No Kings" protests with increased federal law enforcement presence and a firm stance against violence, though organizers plan to proceed with peaceful demonstrations. The administration has labeled the protesters as left-wing extremists, while organizers assert their nonviolent commitment to democracy.

The Trump administration's posture

Stepped-up federal presence: The White House has stated that "violence or breaking the law will not be tolerated". It has already deployed armed agents and troops to various U.S. cities, and protest organizers are prepared for potential federal escalation.

Retaliatory actions: The administration has previously intensified its crackdown on protests and targeted Democratic-led cities, and "No Kings" organizers believe the upcoming actions are part of a broader campaign against political opposition and free speech.

Inflammatory rhetoric: High-ranking Republicans, including House Speaker Mike Johnson and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, have criticized the movement. Johnson has called it a "hate America rally," while Bessent linked the "No Kings" slogan to the ongoing government shutdown.

Focus on illegal activities: The administration has framed its approach as necessary to stop "left-wing violence" and other perceived illegal actions by protesters.

The protest organizers' response

Millions expected to protest peacefully: Organizers with groups like Indivisible and Public Citizen expect millions to participate in over 2,500 demonstrations nationwide. The demonstrations are planned to be nonviolent and in celebration of the First Amendment.

Preparation for potential crackdowns: Organizers have issued safety guides, hosted training sessions on de-escalation, and informed participants of their rights in anticipation of a harsh response from federal law enforcement.

Resisting authoritarianism: The "No Kings" movement frames the protests as a pushback against what they see as Trump's increasingly authoritarian actions, which include disregarding the constitution and deploying federal forces against citizens.

Diverse coalition: The movement consists of a broad coalition of national and local groups, including the ACLU, American Federation of Teachers, and MoveOn, representing various demographics.

AI Overview:

Reports indicate that President Donald Trump has been considering invoking the Insurrection Act in response to the ongoing "No Kings" protests. On October 17, 2025, USA Today reported that millions of Americans were expected to participate in the anti-Trump demonstrations scheduled for the following day.

Trump's actions and rhetoric

Discussion of the Insurrection Act: Trump and his administration have reportedly engaged in "increasingly serious discussions" about invoking the Insurrection Act to deploy the military to U.S. cities. In October 2025, his ally J.D. Vance stated that the president was "looking at all his options".

Precedent in his second term: Since the start of his second term on January 20, 2025, Trump has already deployed federal troops to cities like Los Angeles and Washington, D.C., and attempted to do so in others, including Portland and Chicago. These deployments have often been met with resistance from local leaders and legal challenges.

Response to protests: Following the initial "No Kings" protests in June 2025, Trump promised an expanded immigration crackdown. After a federal judge blocked the deployment of National Guard troops to Portland in late September 2025, Trump was reported to have publicly suggested he could invoke the Insurrection Act if he felt courts or governors were delaying action.

Escalated rhetoric: Earlier in his term, on September 30, Trump reportedly told top military commanders that the military could be used against the "enemy within" and suggested some U.S. cities could be used as military "training grounds".

Legal context and potential challenges

Broad presidential authority: Legal scholars note that the Insurrection Act is broadly written and gives the president significant power to determine when the conditions for invocation have been met.

Possible judicial review: Although the Supreme Court has historically given the president wide latitude in invoking the act, the court has also indicated that it could review military actions to ensure they are not clearly unlawful or taken in bad faith.

Opposition from state officials: Governors like Illinois's J.B. Pritzker have argued that the act cannot be legally invoked against peaceful protests. Trump's previous attempts to deploy federal troops were blocked by courts or opposed by local officials.

The "No Kings" protests

Goals: The "No Kings" protests, organized by a coalition of progressive groups, are a response to what they perceive as Trump's "increasing authoritarianism and corruption" and repeated defiance of court decisions. The movement emphasizes that "America has no kings".

Size: Previous "No Kings" events in June 2025 reportedly drew millions of protesters nationwide, and organizers anticipated an even larger turnout for the planned October 18, 2025, demonstrations.

Non-violence commitment: Organizers have repeatedly committed to nonviolent action and have offered safety training to participants. However, some smaller-scale violence and arrests occurred during the June protests.

He's so confused that he doesn't realize he's lost, and has been for a long time.

Trump gave some people permission to come out of their closet or from under their rock and just be themselves, righteously.

It's a blessing, really. How would we know there are so many if they didn't expose themselves to the light?

Trump Cashing in Bigly, GOP Calls No Kings Protest the "Hate America" Rally & RFK Junior Jr. is Back

I'd be fine with them all crawling back under their rocks.

Do you know why cowboys wear pointy toed boots?

To step on roaches hiding in the corners of the bunkhouse.

I couldn’t care less about the no kings protests, and as long as I’m not missing a flight or a hunt, or whatever because of it, I won’t notice it… until they decide to burn down Minneapolis again over it.

I also think Trump is a damn fool for threatening to use government to stop it barring damage or harm.

I think no kings is an expression of TDS in the highest degree… but that’s not illegal.

If you two want to go to it, have at it.

My flights are delayed to because Trump and his GOP in Congress did not address the air traffic controller issue. Their response shutdown the government over healthcare subsidies.

But don’t worry, GOP Sen. Corn Syrup is getting his corn subsidies to the detriment of conservation.
Plus the boondoggle of the Big Beautiful Bill.

We need more No Kings.

This is a Regime.

The shutdown is the democrats. The GOP has the votes to pass the bill if it gets to the floor, right? The Dems are holding the government hostage to their desires on healthcare. They are the minority party. Can I sympathize with their issue? Yes. But not enough to agree with them that way.

No issues there, although it sounds like the left feels we should be doing more for ag….

Ok, Mr. Soros.
I don’t disagree we need political debate and that Trump’s method of rule by decree is a problem. But public protest disruptions are not the answer. Intelligent candidate selection and intelligent voting is the answer.
This is a Regime.

That’s TDS. He’s a bad president, put in place because neither side did better.

He is a rougher and unlawful president.

His Regi’s has repeatedly ignored even the S. Ct., concerning due process, his use of the 14th Amendment avoiding is unforgivable I do not care if the S. Ct. changes precedent. If they do, the next Dem should void Heller and its lineage the same way. His personal direction leading to professional prosecutors to be fired for not indicting only to direct political appointees to indict is impeachable.

The man is worse than bad. The man should be impeached and remove. Congress is cowards.


And the issues you cities he and his Congress have not even tried to address.

quote:

Why Does the ‘No Kings’ Protest Matter?

It doesn’t.

Gathering of all the old hippies and young America hater’s club.

Well, impeachment is a political act.

That the congress is not interested in going down that road is obvious. Even the majority of the democrat members of congress are not interested in that.

SCOTUS is the realm of law.

You seem to think that your personal beliefs should override the system here, substituting your opinion for SCOTUS. I get your concerns, probably as much as any nonlawyer here will, but the legal system is process over correctness as you have pointed out so often.

I think his methods are questionable, but am willing to trust the system regarding it.

I do agree with you that Trump will be the blueprint as to how the next progressive rams their agenda down the country’s throat.

No, the GOP does not have the votes to pass the bill in the Senate, they have 53 votes and need 60 to pass.

Seems like bipartisanship is required but the GOP wants it all their way to me.

TDS could equally apply to those who refuse to see his many deficiencies … as Scott pointed out in another thread, there must come a time where people stop voting for terrible people.

Yeah, maybe George Soros paid all those people to show up.

Christ, you see all sorts of drivel posted on this forum.

It doesn't take a bankroll for a protest. All you need to do is advertise it to people who care. In this case, the media provided the advertising for free.

The principal theme I saw on signs on the news was: “is he dead yet” or “when is he going to die.”

Great folks these. And yes Roland…millions of dollars were spent on the organization of this protest. It came from somewhere. I would like to know where.

You guys were all worried about fictitious “Russian Collusion.” Well, you should be worried about the actual collusion of who stirs such unrest in our country.

If you saw those signs I'm sure it was on Fox hype. I've noticed lately, in particular about the no kings thing, that Fox has gone beyond their normal hype & lie frenzy.

Don't worry, Trump team will find those who funded this insurrection uprising and declare them terrorists, and either "disappear" them or prosecute, whichever gets the most political capital estimated.

And many of us are worried about the actual collusion that caused this unrest.

I think these chickenshit, numbnut Dems missed an opportunity to really make a statement. They named the protest wrong. Instead of No Kings, they should have named it No Fascists. Just think of the ripple effect. Trump, Wormtongue, Noem, Vought, etc., would declare them all antifa, and the protests were proof of an organized terrorist entity. Then the shootings start and we will really have something to worry about.

What To Know About NSPM-7

On Sept. 25, President Trump issued a directive called National Security Presidential Memorandum 7 in which “anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, and anti-Christianity” were described as “common threads” of domestic terrorism. Here is everything you need to know about NSPM-7.

Q: What is NSPM-7?

A: A key term for future AP U.S. History students in the “Rise of Fascism” unit.

Q: How does the order define anti-American?

A: They can’t tell you. That would ruin the surprise.

Q: What is Trump’s plan for antifa?

A: He will create the organization, and then destroy it.

Q: Is this like that book Minority Report was based on?

A: We’d avoid referencing books from now on.

Q: Isn’t this a violation of the First Amendment?

A: That’s exactly the type of question the administration would love to talk to you about in a windowless room.

======================================================

I have no doubt there were plenty of " is he dead yet" signs
That became a thing when a Dem party booth at an Ohio fair was giving out buttons with that slogan on them. Not a good look for any party to promote.

IMO those kinds of signs are dumb. The organizers should have stopped it.

A better sign would have been "Are his ideas dead yet?"

Rightists are good at making up stuff. No need to help. They and Fox, Newsmax, etc., already hyped the "Hate America" narrative, although about the only thing that accomplished is to show how ridiculous they are - to the core.

And besides, these dumb Dems don't seem to recognize that JD is worse than Trump. At least he can manage the office and know what Wormtongue and others are doing.

It's best to encourage Trump to stay in office for his term, even if they have to prop him up, do AI or whatever. Let him rot in his own slime, take all the heat, maybe impeach in the final months, so JD follows the precedent of Gerald.
