It’s No Kings Day. Now for some history. How does this regime compare to our last king?
Donald Trump and his regime are precisely and specifically like King George of England in these 10 ways.
The Declaration of Independence proclaimed the colonies to be independent states, listing what the Crown had done to warrant this separation.
On the list of the monarch's transgressions:
(Trump and MAGA has done *all* of these)
• His “character is marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, [therefore] is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.”
• He has been “obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither.”
• He has been “transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences”
• He has been enlisting foreigners “to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.”
• “He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.”
• “He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures” … “protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States”
• “He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.”
• He has been “cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world.”
• “He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us.”
• His regime refuses to convene Congress, the People’s House, so they can’t oppose “his invasions on the rights of people” and he refused to allow proper and complete elections, thus moving the powers of the legislature back “to the People at large.”
Everything in quotes is direct from the United States’ Declaration of Independence, i.e., the text above John Hancock’s signature, and signatures of others from each of the 13 colonies becoming states. Everything else here is directly from that Declaration in meaning, simplified in phrasing.
Please attend a No Kings Day event today, as "the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise."
See you there!
