The recent protests against President Trump demonstrate that he can still be defeated, but only if his opponents present a coherent alternative, argues Alexandra Hall.
On October 18th, Hall participated in a local #NoKings protest, part of a nationwide series of demonstrations against the Trump administration's authoritarian policies.
The #NoKings protests are a call to action, to remind Americans that their democracy was founded in opposition to monarchy.
During the protest, Hall wore a giant inflatable frog costume, inspired by protestors in Portland who dressed up in absurd costumes to mock Trump's decision to send National Guard troops to the city.
Author's summary: Protests against Trump can be successful with a coherent alternative.
