“No Kings?,” How About “No Presidents!” (itsgoingdown.org)

As momentum builds under the banner of “No Kings!” liberals and other activists in the U.S. should consider the real question of how we got here and how we can move forward and away from Trump’s authoritarianism altogether. The question isn’t about monarchy versus presidency, but about the myth of representation itself.

Flat, answerable governance. That's all. People only need alienation from terrible decisions. The insulation/alienation from the outcomes of their decisions are what allow them to make such horrible decisions easily.

But what if they get some amount of pride and start acting like mature adults!?
