What would Christopher Hitchens say about seven million Americans taking to the streets to declare “No Kings”? In this satirical reimagining, Hitchens confronts the authoritarian rot consuming the United States under Trump’s second term, as peaceful protesters are met with troops, intimidation, and propaganda.
From his imagined vantage point, Hitchens dissects Trump’s unprecedented deployment of the National Guard to Democratic cities, his obsession with power, and the grotesque hypocrisy of a movement that wraps tyranny in the flag while dismantling the republic it claims to defend. He examines the “No Kings” protests—from the inflatable frogs in Portland to the Revolutionary War reenactors in Washington—as a modern exorcism of authoritarianism, a declaration that Americans will not kneel to a wannabe monarch.
Hitchens reminds us that democracy dies not only through coups, but through the slow normalization of the unacceptable—and that the only cure for tyranny is the stubborn, joyful defiance of a free people.
Join us as we explore how Hitchens’ voice of reason and rebellion might echo through a nation once again forced to choose between liberty and loyalty to a king.
