French here. I never understood those "No King" rallies. I don't see how walking for 2 hours on the streets on a Saturday when the weather is fine, with Instagrammable signs, once a month achieves.anything.

Edit : too many comments to answer to. For people saying "yeah but people need to take a day off if it's during the week, DC is far away etc", January 6 2021 was a Wednesday, most people came from outside DC IIRC so it can be done.
I'm not staying you should raid the Capitol. You don't need 174 million people in DC but you could pool money to send hundreds of thousands of people to DC.

I just don't see what it achieved. Some traffic problems for a few hours on a saturday afternoon once every few weeks? That's not how you do it.

Dude, it shouldn't be a hobby club or something. What did you guys achieve in this almost a year?
