LOCAL 'NO KINGS' RALLY PROVES DUMBOCRATS STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND SIMPLE MATHThe Dispatch

Santa Barbara, CA – In a stunning display of temporal confusion and civic illiteracy, a local activist group, styling themselves the 'No Kings Rally,' recently held what the esteemed Santa Barbara Independent – bless their earnest little hearts – described as a visit to a ballot box. One can only assume this 'visit' involved a heavily chaperoned field trip, complete with juice boxes and nap time, given the glaring chronological disconnect.

According to the Independent's quaint reporting, this rally somehow asserted the 'importance of the midterm election on November 3' for deciding the composition of Congress. Now, in 2026, with President Trump firmly in his second term and the November 3, 2020, election a distant, albeit chaotic, memory, one has to wonder if these activists are operating on a different calendar altogether. Perhaps they subscribe to a quantum theory of democracy where past elections are still future events? Or maybe they're just now receiving news updates from four years ago, courtesy of a particularly slow messenger pigeon.

It's a wonder this particular brand of local 'activism' can even find its way to a ballot box, let alone successfully fill one out, when they can't even get the year right. While the rest of us are navigating the current political landscape under the capable leadership of President Trump, our local left seems perpetually lost in a time warp, shouting about monarchs who don't exist and elections that have long since been decided. One thing is clear: if these folks are representative of the Democrat Party's strategic prowess, it explains precisely why their 'kings' remain confined to their vivid, yet historically inaccurate, imaginations.
