   The "No Kings" protests in the US last Saturday brought out 7 million   
   Americans in some 2,700 locations. Trump can be proud. The largest protest   
   gathering ever, and all of it caused by him.   
      
   It clearly shows that many Americans regret voting for him, or not voting at   
   all. Trump's approval rating is also extremely low, at 31%.   
      
   But... 31% of people still say they agree with what Trump and his cronies are   
   doing.   
      
   An erosion of democracy, the removal of the guarantees of the rule of law, the   
   erosion of Social Security, the removal of health insurance for 20 million   
   Americans, the deployment of the military in cities, and the criminalization   
   of opposition. These are just a few of the issues at stake.   
      
   31% still agree with this.   
      
   Then I seriously ask myself: what kind of society does the 31% want?
