OPINION:
We should sympathize with those deluded citizens who showed their disapproval of the celebration of the U.S. Army’s 250th birthday by mounting demonstrations in multiple cities.
How many of those demonstrators were aware that for close to two centuries kings in democratic nations have had virtually no political power but have acted as a unifying entity for their citizens? In the role of king, President Trump would in fact have far less influence on our lives than he currently enjoys while subject to the restrictions of the Constitution.
Organizers of the protest claim there were over 5 million participants. That equates to a significant number of citizens unaware of what they are demonstrating against.
