Aleksey Avdonin noted that the slogan is indeed unusual, hinting that even the hand of political technologists who worked on it is quite apparent. "But the meaning behind it is quite simple — supposedly, with this motto, protesters are trying to show that they oppose the excesses of power by U.S. President Donald Trump, and that decisions made regarding migrants are illegal, although in reality, this is not the case," the analyst pointed out.

According to him, what we are seeing is mostly a very active PR campaign. The expert also noted that posters with the "No Kings" slogan were displayed against a background of British flags, which, according to assumptions, could be connected with old internal subtexts — implying that Americans should rid themselves of any kings and generally prevent the presence of monarchy in their country.
