The Rise and Ridicule of Anti-Authority Protests

Recently, a protest dubbed the "No Kings or No Jobs" rally garnered attention for its claims of millions participating across the United States and worldwide. Held ostensibly to oppose perceived overreach of government and authority, the rally's turnout and impact remain subjects of skepticism. A video shot in Malibu shows famed comedian Kathy Griffin participating, illustrating the intersection of celebrity and political activism. Griffin's chants, "This is what democracy looks like," while symbolically powerful to some, appeared to be met with ambivalence from passersby, with some supporting honks and others dismissing the protest as overblown.
