An inconvenient truth has emerged about the anti-Trump No Kings protests that swept the nation over the weekend - they were mainly attended by rich, old white people. In Atlanta, where the population is predominantly black, liberal attendees who took to the streets on Saturday were mostly white, even though they make up just 38 percent of the city. The vast majority of activists - some of whom were seen holding signs likening Trump to Adolf Hitler and ICE to the Gestapo - appeared to be white, privileged and elderly suburbanites.
CNN commentator Batya Ungar-Sargon pointed out the glaring disparity between those in the streets protesting and the less affluent groups they claim to speak for. 'These protests were overwhelmingly white, they were overwhelmingly elderly people. White boomers have the right to have a mass therapy session about the fact that Donald Trump won. But to call it a No Kings protest, to act like he is a king, is so utterly preposterous,' the journalist said. 'This is a man who won the popular vote, he won every swing state, he is a person who is enacting the exact agenda he promised he was going to enact while he was campaigning, and so what they are actually protesting is the absolute perfection of American democracy.'
One commentator, Reggie Brun, told his followers on X: 'No kings rally was all old white people'.
Sounds about right. Too bad some of the old white people on here were to infirm to make it
