Sing no more ditties, sing no moe,
Of dumps so dull and heavy;
The fraud of men was ever so,

Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more,
Men were deceivers ever,

And be you blithe and bonny,
Converting all your sounds of woe
Into Hey nonny, nonny.

A normal president could actually defuse this by saying:
Oh you silly hysterical protesters. I'm your elected president and of course I don't want to be king.
As far as I know, Trump has not taken that tack because he wants to be treated like royalty and can't even bring himself to pretend.

After 2024, pundits brushed off the Resistance as cringe. I submit: Yes, it was. And cringe is good. Cringe, in fact, will save democracy.
