No Kings in Ellsworth

My wife and I decided to be spectators last Saturday at the "No Kings" rally in the city hall parking lot in Ellsworth (Maine). There was a large crowd already gathered when we arrived just after noon. Parking was non-existent with the exception of the parking lot at the Baptist church nearby. Being Christians ourselves, we figured hey, why not so I backed into a space where the Trump Team sticker on my tailgate wouldn't be spotted. I didn't want my truck getting keyed.

Before I was even out of the truck, I became aware of the fact that this event was an American flags event, flags everywhere, but talking with a participant while walking down the sidewalk I realized American flags are the new thing now with TDS liberals, 99% of the crowd last time Ellsworth had an event like this.

As I get pathetically older, I tend to speak my mind more freely and Saturday was no exception. I asked several attendants where the king's guards were since it seems obvious there would be king's guards at insurrections like this. There weren't even police in the crowd and certainly no sword and bayonet carrying riflemen looking for traitors to the king. So, king's guards? Zero. Nobody could point out even one.

I did notice quite a few black signs with white lettering that said "RESIST" on the high ground adjacent to city hall and one prominent sign identically colored down in the crowd that said "Divided We Fall" which seemed enormously hypocritical to me since the object of the protest was to divide the American public.

I did manage to find one other conservative. Just one, though.

Several of the folks I spoke with bragged about how they were able to practice their free speech rights with no violence. I shit you not. This after the past four years of the Biden administration supporting censorship in social media and holding over a thousand political prisoners many in solitary confinement and being subject to torture to get them to testify against Trump not to mention the Biden Department of Justice declaring parents at school board meetings being "domestic terrorists".

Basically, I concluded that the event was one huge virtue signal designed to mask over the actual guilt of the Left for opposing free speech during the Biden years. They have a lot of guilt to mask over.
