      A king is a dictator, they have unlimited power. Plus there’s the context of the US breaking off from the UK because they didn’t want a king anymore. You could use “dictator” instead as the modern term but then you lose out on the historical connection pointing out the irony.

        A king is a pretty term that legitimizes the person in charge, which is what Trump wants. You call them what they are: fascist dictators.

          It seems you’re overlooking how useful having a catchy, easy to say slogan is. Somehow. Despite, I assume, having witnessed the last decade of politics…

      It’s a terrible name, but I think “no rulers” would be better.

      The problem with these people is that they’re okay with being ruled by the Clintons but not the Trumps.

      They’re too stupid to realize that both families only care about enriching themselves and their loyalists.
