As momentum builds under the banner of “No Kings!” liberals and other activists in the U.S. should consider the real question of how we got here and how we can move forward and away from Trump’s authoritarianism altogether. The question isn’t about monarchy versus presidency, but about the myth of representation itself.

But there would still be a genocide going on with your tacit support, so if you can enjoy brunch while your tax dollars are murdering children then I guess we just have different standards.

Although it's not said explicitly, the article uses the "we'd be at brunch" sign as an example of rhetoric that uses the liberal "No Kings" framing. The writers of the article would disagree with the message of this sign, as would any anarchist worth taking seriously, because it argues that changing the figurehead (to Kamala Harris) would be a solution, instead of abolishing the figurehead at all.

I agree with that, but the sign particularly offended me and I felt like it needed to be called out on its own merits.
