Is there a consensus about it's utility? I've seen some people doom spiraling and thinking is going to blood in the streets from people getting mowed down by troops and feds. I'm not one to say nothing ever happens, but when it does it just seems to be a slow burn.

"No Kings" is such a perfect name for a liberal protest movement, They aren't allowed to say "no billionaires/no plutocracy" because liberalism allows for that shit. So, they have to couch their anger in an illusion that this is some return to monarchy rather than just the logical conclusion of liberalism.

Here in Canada (and I'm assuming other commonwealth states) they don't even say that. They call it "No Tyrants" so as to avoid offending Charles lmao

You can put whatever you want on a billboard or a sign. No Kings! Billionaires suck! Down with plutocracy! One sign or Tshirt. Be the seed.
