In a recent episode of his popular podcast, Scott Adams delivered a sharp critique of the upcoming ‘No Kings’ protests, predicting that these demonstrations will ultimately fizzle out without any real impact. The protests, which ostensibly aim to oppose authoritarianism, seem to lack a coherent objective beyond expressing disdain for former President Donald Trump.

Adams, known for his straightforward commentary, pointed out that the timing of these protests is strikingly ironic. He noted that many people have witnessed the positive outcomes resulting from Trump’s assertive policies, particularly in the Middle East. “They’re going to have a whole demonstration against the thing we all observed working, which is Trump bullying people that needed to be bullied,” Adams remarked, highlighting the disconnect between the protesters’ message and the current political realities.

The crux of Adams’ argument rests on the absence of a clear goal for the ‘No Kings’ movement. He questioned the efficacy of peaceful protests that seemingly serve only to register discontent without proposing any actionable solutions. “What exactly is that going to do for anybody?” he asked, challenging the notion that marching with signs could alter Trump’s behavior or make a significant difference in the political landscape.

Adams further implied that the motivations behind such protests might be less about genuine activism and more about financial gain for the organizers. He suggested that the left’s ongoing struggle to articulate a viable alternative to Trump has led to a series of hollow demonstrations that only serve to energize their base without delivering results.

Scott’s insights underscore a growing frustration within segments of the population regarding the effectiveness of protest movements that lack substantive goals. As these ‘No Kings’ protests approach, one has to wonder if they will succeed in rallying support or if they are destined to be yet another exercise in futility for the opposition.
