Thanks for the clarification. I thought it was generally understood that the Koch Brothers financed the Tea Party movement.

I'm puzzled by the "weirdos throwing a tantrum" contrast with "did not do anything to really get media attention". The No Kings rallies did everything that conservative commentors seem to want from protests. Large numbers of participants from a significant spectrum of subcultures, no violence, no property damage, consistent messaging. Still no media attention. I don't know what to think.

The US has no kings and all sides agree there should be no kings. It's like me having a protest called 'no suffocation'... We all agree on this, but I'm glad some people feel the need to state it even more obviously.
