here is an explanation by someone who went to a rally.

“It seems to me, (Trump is) taking our government, our democracy, and dismantling it piece by piece, slowly, but surely, if we sit by and don’t do anything about it,” Cole said.The event was one of more than 2,700 “No Kings” rallies held across the country on Saturday, protesting what organizers describe as President Donald Trump’s “authoritarian” agenda. That’s hundreds more events than were planned for the first go-round in June, when about 5 million people across the country took to the streets to protest Trump’s administration as he held a military parade in Washington.Nearly 7 million people showed up for Saturday’s rallies – including more than 100,000 people in New York, organizers and officials said. Along with larger events in major cities, small pockets of “No Kings” protesters cropped up along busy thoroughfares, in small town squares and at municipal parks in red and blue states alike.

What I'm asking is what did you EXPECT it would change!
Do you not understand the difference?

You accuse ME of trying to alter reality and then you post the idiotic muse of a person who attended it who believes that our government and democracy is being dismantled? Of course they can't be bothered to produce even a scrap of evidence to believe that, and fools like you seem to think it confirms something great that it has really accomplished!
You're living in a fairy tale world, and reality is laughing in your face over it!

Trump has argued that he cannot be prosecuted for actions taken during his presidency. He suggests that the Constitution granted American presidents similar powers and immunities to the British king, a claim disputed by historical and legal experts.

nOn September 28, the city of Philadelphia hosted its "Liberty Loan" parade in the midst of the flu outbreak of 1918-19 — sometimes referred to as the Spanish flu. Shortly thereafter, hospitals were at capacity and 2,600 people had died.Around the same time, the city of St. Louis was closing schools, libraries, courthouses, churches, playgrounds as well as limiting the number of people on streetcars and staggering work shifts to minimize contact. Eventually, Philadelphia followed suit. But according to a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, it was just two days — from October 5 to October 7 — between when the first cases showed up in St. Louis to closures being enacted.
- Philadelphia and St. Louis were both hit by the flu outbreak of 1918-19, but one city suffered a death rate of approximately 358 per 100,000 people, whereas the other suffered 748 deaths per 100,000.
- 1918 was a very different time from today, but there are still lessons that we can draw from how Philadelphia's slow action to respond to the pandemic left its citizens dangerously vulnerable.
- We spoke with a social epidemiologist who said that policymakers should prolong social distancing measures or else suffer St. Louis's mistake of lifting them too early and enduring a second wave of infection and death.

it was about not being close to others, not masksCannonpointer » 20 Oct 2025, 6:34 pm » wrote: ↑ Cherry-picked tripe used to feed the world view of midwits.^
There is COPIOUS peer reviewed science which demonstrates that the spanish flu was not the killer. Masking was the killer.
I have read the science - it is available to you on pubmed, if you wish to fact check me. I am going to put this into terms that even a midwit can understand.
When you breathe, you inhale WHATEVER IS IN THE AIR: particulate matter, bacteria, archaea, fungi, protozoa, viruses; whatever is in the air. Then you exhale it.
When you don a mask, the humidity of your exhalations very rapidly forms a vapor barrier which easily traps the effluent of your exhalations such that you re-inhale them with each successive breath, and with each successive cycleof inhalation and exhalation you add to the growing germ-stew in front of your mouth and nose.
At the end of the day, you throw the mask away. You do this NOT because you enjoy wasting your money, but because your mask becomes way too funky to wear the next day. And if that mask is too funky to put on tomorrow morning, it was too funky for you to have been wearing last night.
You would never interfere with your car's exhaust - yet you stupidly interefered with your own. Clearly, you think less of yourself than you do of your car. Or you just don't think. You abandon thinking, and you act based on bowing to perceived authority.
