Episode notes
Limited Reach of No Kings Protests
- The "No Kings Day" protests mainly occurred in liberal blue cities with mostly small, older white crowds.
- The protests appear more like reunions than revolutions, lacking mass nationwide momentum.
Funding Behind Leftist Protests
- Left wing billionaires like George Soros fund many organizations sponsoring these protests through Arabella Partners.
- Taxpayer money also supports some groups organizing protests, meaning public funds indirectly back anti-Trump rallies.
Two Forms of Political Violence
