No Kings Again – The Anti-Trump Revolution Song for No Kings Day 2025

The Resistance, 18.6K subscribers, Oct 13, 2025 #trump #nokingsday

“No Kings Again” is a fiery, funny, and fearless protest anthem written for the October 18, 2025 No Kings Day rallies across America. Channeling the spirit of 1776, this modern revolutionary song skewers Donald Trump and the MAGA movement with razor-sharp satire, reminding us that the United States already fought a war to kick out a king — and we’re not about to kneel to another. With echoes of rebellion, colonial-gospel swagger, and a patriotic punch, “No Kings Again” calls out authoritarianism, corruption, and the cowardice of complicit Republicans in Congress. It’s a rallying cry for every American who still believes in democracy, equality, and the right to mock a wannabe monarch.
