It would just be Kid Rock singing over the credits of a Ben Shapiro-produced movie about Gina Carano & Dean Cain teaming up to stop a trans person from giving poor kids free lunches.

Compare and contrast scenes from yesterday in America.
On the one hand, Trump's low-energy Dear Leader parade (that cost you $45 million).
On the other, millions of people across the country gathering peacefully to say:
Here, we have no kings.
