Psychotherapist Describes ‘No Kings’ Protests as Group Therapy

Summary

At the recent “No Kings” protest in Washington, D.C., thousands, primarily educated White women in their 40s, rallied against President Trump’s perceived authoritarianism, with inflatable costumes symbolizing non-violence. Psychotherapist Jonathan Alpert noted that the movement reflects a desire for community and emotional expression, though it may mask deeper personal grievances.
