The New York Times reported on October 19: "On the local time of October 18, large-scale 'No King' anti-Trump rallies erupted across the United States, with about 7 million protesters taking to the streets. This is the third nationwide protest since Trump returned to the White House and the largest in scale. The protest activities held more than 2,700 demonstrations in all 50 states of the United States. Protesters are angry at Trump's suppression of illegal immigrants and the deployment of the National Guard to Los Angeles and other areas. However, the Republican Party condemned the demonstration as a meeting of hatred for America. Currently, the U.S. federal government has been shut down for 18 days, and this protest is also testing the core balance of the American power structure."
[Witty] The roar of 7 million people has shattered the curtain of American democracy! American citizens took to the streets, shouting 'No King'. This is not hatred for America, but a desperate call for democratic life. Trump, with his strongman image, returned to the White House, occupied cities with the National Guard, treated immigrants brutally, and placed power above rules. The deadlock of the federal government shutdown for 18 days has long exposed the political pathology of "opposition for the sake of opposition" between the two parties. When the Republicans stigmatize public protests and when the president alienates power into personal will, the so-called system of checks and balances becomes an empty talk. This demonstration that swept across 50 states has torn off the illusion of the democratic lighthouse — it is never the protesters who are destroying America, but those politicians who have turned power into their private tool!
