"NO KINGS DAY: Christiansburg Field Report" | SnideStream (Fool King Coverage)

On June 14, 2025, independent media professional and comedic documentarian CoryTheCurator—in full Fool King regalia—explored Christiansburg, Virginia to witness a powerful community protest against authoritarianism, staged as part of the national No Kings Day movement.

What unfolded?

  • An unexpectedly massive crowd

  • Chants of “No Kings!” and “This is what democracy looks like!”

  • Veterans, students, teachers, and activists all taking the mic

  • Rain, thunder, and defiant energy in the streets

  • Honest critiques of Trumpism, American oligarchy, and militarized governance

  • A live, unscripted stream rooted in the surreal soil of Appalachia

Snide Studios is not here to sanitize. This was captured as it happened: shaky, loud, sometimes absurd, often moving. If you're looking for gloss, this ain’t it. If you’re looking for truth-telling in a clown nose and cape—welcome home.

Disclaimer: Some audio is rough and this was filmed in real-time with minimal gear. What matters here is the testimony.
