COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KOAA) — Two days after the second nationwide No Kings protests concluded, News5 spoke with one political expert to analyze whether the demonstrations will create lasting political change.
Roughly seven million people participated in Saturday's protests across the country, representing about 2% of the U.S. population.
The turnout marked a significant increase from the first No Kings protest four months earlier, with over 2 million more participants joining the second demonstration.
"I believe in the Constitution, and I believe in the people of our country. And together we need to stand up against this fascist regime," one demonstrator said.
"We just want to make sure that we are demonstrating peacefully and let our voices be heard," another participant said.
