Eight million people demonstrated across the United States on March 28, against Trump in the third “No Kings Day.” There were protests in 3,300 communities in all 50 states and Washington, D.C.

IMO "No Kings" doesn't have a problem with actual kings (like, say, King Charles from the UK). It's the billionaires who are trying to act as kings.
I don't speak for the movement though, but it seems like "no billionaires" is kind of the point, of them and 50501.
I think the most direct purpose of the movement is about Trump specifically, and opposing his moves to give himself power beyond what has been traditionally allowed for presidents. There are lots of pro-capitalism libs who support no kings. However, there are strong internal currents that expand the scope to include billionaires as a class, and it is definitely a movement that includes many socialists even if it is not a "socialist movement", if that makes sense. And that faction would definitely be against all Kings, including Charles, in addition to Trump and the billionaires.
50501 and No Kings is an explicitly anti-Trump movement without the correct optics of the actual problem being capitalism.
If Kamala won instead of Trump, 50501 wouldn't even be a thing.
this is incredibly optimistic lol
