In a bold piece of performance propaganda, conservative internet circles erupted this week with a now-viral image depicting President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris dressed in royal regalia, seated on gilded thrones, under the dramatic caption: “NO KINGS.” The text below accuses Democrats of an “authoritarian power grab” because... Kamala Harris exists and Trump lost in court.
Critics say the meme raises important questions, such as: Have conservatives forgotten what authoritarianism actually means? Or are we now calling every political outcome we dislike a coup? Is the monarchy just a vibe now?
The image, reportedly created in a basement using Microsoft Paint and pure rage, claims Democrats “skipped the primary” and “crowned Kamala” without a vote. Never mind the minor detail that Biden was the elected nominee in 2020, and that she was nominated at the Democratic Convention. But, you know, technicalities.
Meanwhile, on the actual authoritarianism front:
-
Donald Trump has still refused to concede the 2020 election, despite losing both the popular vote and the Electoral College.
-
He is currently issuing executive orders from his golf resort like a monarch with a Diet Coke scepter.
-
Trump has declared multiple judges “enemies of the people,” demanded loyalty from the military, and instituted mass firings of civil servants for insufficient personal devotion.
-
His supporters stormed the Capitol dressed like a cross between QAnon gladiators and drunk Vikings — all in the name of “democracy.”
But sure — Kamala Harris, who was nominated the Democratic Presidential Candidate a legitimate process, is apparently the one wearing the crown of tyranny.
Fox News seized on the meme, calling it “the most powerful artistic statement since the Last Supper.” Tucker Carlson added, “Have you noticed that Kamala wears purple? That’s the color of emperors. Coincidence? I think not.”
House Republicans have already drafted the “Crown Removal Act”, which would ban all headwear from female politicians “unless it features an American flag, NASCAR logo, or ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ embroidery.”
Even Trump weighed in on Truth Social:
“This is what happens when you let women run things. Kamala was installed like a low-flow toilet by the Deep State. SAD! I NEVER WORE A CROWN — just a MAGA hat and absolute power.”
So remember: in today’s political landscape, the difference between democracy and dictatorship is just a costume change — unless you’re Trump, in which case, every hat comes with a loyalty oath.
