At the very least these protests are a reminder we are not alone and not the ones living in a reality founded on lies.
According to the book "They Thought They Were Free: The Germans, 1933-45", a big reason there was so little resistance to the Nazi regime was the lack of public demonstrations against it, and the fear of consequences to stand up, since so few others did.
Large public demonstrations like No Kings are likely a critical asset towards building public confidence to stand up to authoritarianism.
