Living with the Long Emergency

By Tim Stevenson: Forget 'No Kings' — 'No Dictator' rings like a clear bell.

The No Kings event, predicted to be the largest peaceful protest in modern US history, is misnamed in the author's opinion.

We are on the crest of becoming a full-blown dictatorship, and nothing less than a full-throated expression of opposition by we the people to the authoritarian machinations of Donald Trump is required.

A more accurate name would be "No Dictator", as it reflects the need for opposition to authoritarianism.

Author's summary: No Dictator is a more fitting name for the protest.
