This was an interesting discussion. I enjoyed #NaomiKlein book #Doppelgänger and the discussion of the far right and the move of some from yoga fan to vaccine skeptic (or worse). For "influencers" it seems to be about where to make the most money:

‘#NoKings’ Unveils a Big New #Trump Protest, and the Stakes Couldn’t Be Higher
A movement leader tells Rolling Stone about the #NoKings2 demonstrations on #October18, and how they can curb Trump’s #overreach
by Tim Dickinson, September 8, 2025
"America’s pro-democracy movement is gearing up for what may be its biggest mass-demonstration yet against the increasingly #militaristic Trump administration — which has sent armed troops to occupy the nation’s capital and is threatening to do the same in large cities from Chicago to New Orleans.
Popular resistance in Trump’s second term has snowballed, in an organic fashion, from a large President’s Day protest in February, through mass demonstrations in April, to the first 'No Kings' protest on Trump’s birthday in June — which drew millions to counter the president’s tin-pot military birthday parade.
"After a series of smaller summer protests, the movement will be back in the streets and squares and center cities of America, en masse, in October for No Kings 2 — a sequel organizers are expecting to outshine the original, amid revulsion to Trump’s brutal campaign of mass deportation led by masked agents of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (#ICE), and an increasingly lawless president who claims 'a lot' of Americans would 'like a dictator.'
"No Kings 2 is being organized by a big tent of grassroots and advocacy organizations. One of the most prominent players is #Indivisible, the activist group that sprang to life in the early days of the first Trump administration, and which now counts 2,500 distributed, local chapters nationwide.
"Rolling Stone spoke to Indivisible co-founder #EzraLevin last week, in advance of No Kings 2 unveiling on Monday. The protest is planned for October 18 — in the aftermath of an unpredictable showdown over government funding that could lead to a #PartialGovernmentShutdown by the end of the month.
"Levin says the stakes of the protests have never been more urgent, and that organizers are expecting record numbers of #protesters to raise their voices for democracy and against the threats of #dictatorship."

#MassiveProtests Against #Trump are Just The Beginning
A co-founder of #Indivisible lays out a vision for harnessing millions of protesters into an unstoppable pro-democracy movement
by Tim Dickerson, April 8, 2025
Excerpts: "The demonstrations were organized by a broad coalition — including groups that rose to prominence in the first Trump administration, like Indivisible, upstarts like the #50501Movement, as well as established grassroots groups like #MoveOn. The upswell of resistance surprised even seasoned organizers. Indivisible cofounder #EzraLevin texted Rolling Stone on Friday to predict 'one of the largest single-day protests in years' adding that the public response was “kind of shocking."
[...]
"This was a Big Tent — everybody from like #DSA to #MattYglesias and #NeverTrump Republicans were endorsing it. I had briefly gotten excited about calling this the 'Normal March.'
"Like the wacko, MAGA, right-wing crazies are not gonna be part of this. But if you’re a normal person, you would want to take part. Because obviously you oppose #Project2025, you oppose #DOGE and the richest man in the world coming after your #SocialSecurity.
"But I’m happy we went with '#HandsOff.' It served as a good rallying cry, because we all come to this for different reasons. Maybe we’re concerned about the #tariffs, maybe we’re concerned about #TransKids in our community being targeted, or the #immigrants being disappeared, or maybe we’re concerned about Social Security. We’ve all got something to fight back on."
