America has never had a king. All it’s had was us. Still, some will tell you that showing up on No Kings Day means you hate this country, but they have it exactly backwards. Nobody gets up to march on a Saturday for a country they’ve given up on. You do that for a country you love. (link below)

If it continues, Trump's pivot to support Putin w/out limits will go down in history as one of America's worst foreign policy decisions ever. I would think people like Rubio might not want to go down in history as a supporter of this decision and might try to reverse it. But no sign of that yet.
