A left-wing activist group attempting to stage coordinated demonstrations against President Donald Trump drew only a small number of participants across North Texas over the weekend.
Indivisible TX promoted what it called a “No Kings” protest aimed at opposing Trump administration policies. Roughly 30 people attended the event in one location, holding homemade signs with phrases such as “protect my vote” and “END THE ICE AGE.”
“New folks joining. We had a Southlake woman invite and bring a friend from Houston to participate. We were honored to have Jan McDowell, former TX 24 Congressional candidate join. Every week, more friendlies stop and chat and thank us. The Trump regime is imploding. This is the No Kings Era Now,” the group posted on Facebook.
A similar demonstration was held in Burleson, where organizers also reported low turnout. Around 40 people attended, carrying signs criticizing ICE, Elon Musk, and President Trump.
One masked demonstrator told The Dallas Express that he condemned political violence but then mocked the assassination of Charlie Kirk, calling it “an ironic sense of justice when he was shot.” He accused Kirk of spreading “hatred.”
Others offered broader criticisms of government.
“I love my country and I have seen so many illegal things by this country,” Debbie Little told DX.
There were no counterprotesters, and most passing drivers continued through the intersection without engaging.
Online reactions also pointed to the minimal crowd size.
“Liberal boomers are trying to do as much damage as they can before they checkout. Fortunately these protests are mostly ineffective and look comical from a short distance away,” radio host Kenny Webster wrote on X.
Low turnout at left-wing events has been seen elsewhere in North Texas.
As previously reported by The Dallas Express, the Keller-Southlake Pride Festival on October 4 at St. Martin-in-the-Fields Episcopal Church drew modest attendance and sparked criticism from local officials over alleged violations of Senate Bill 12, which prohibits sexually explicit drag performances in front of minors.
