A number of citizens not liking their elected representatives has form going back many many decades, but there's more than a whiff of "51 former intelligence officials" nonsense about the whole NoKings story.

Former CIA intelligence operatives helping to organise anti-government protests feels particularly weird.

given that we don't have a king (trump would be a dictator if you thought he had absolute control over things, i don't think he has much control over things) and most people are upset about the war, it seems to me that this is misdirection to muddy the anti-war consensus in the US by attaching divisive political issues and inflammatory language to it.

divide & conquer, in my democracy? It's more likely thank you think!
