    We had a similar per capita rate of participation in No Kings as France has had in its recent demonstrations. But the US has a much lower population density over a much larger land area, so the protests appeared smaller despite having millions more people in the streets.

      I would argue that No Kings protest will never achieve the goals french protesters are because No Kings refuses to use a wider diversity of tactics. You can’t force someone to the negotiating table without force. Sit ins, speeches and tweets won’t make the Republican party any less fascist.
