Fact Check. Everyone Who Attended No Kings Day Protests Is Mentally Unstable

A recent survey by the Washington Wick Institute of Facts and Research revealed that every single participant in the No Kings Day protests across the United States reported having a diagnosed mental illness.

The study, which included thousands of protesters from cities like Seattle, Portland, Pittsburgh, and New York, found that not only did respondents acknowledge their conditions, but many appeared to take pride in them, often citing their diagnoses as badges of honor.

Organizers describe the movement as a push for "radical equality," though critics note the events often devolve into chaotic violence.

"We asked protesters about their mental health, expecting a range of responses," said Dr. Evelyn Hart, lead researcher at the Washington Wick Institute.

"What we didn’t expect was unanimous self-reporting of conditions like anxiety, depression, or dissociative identity disorder, with many saying it fuels their activism."

The survey was conducted over several days, with researchers attending protests and distributing questionnaires.

Respondents were eager to share details, often volunteering unprompted anecdotes about their therapy sessions or medication regimens.

"I’m out here because my bipolar disorder gives me clarity," said Juniper Moon, a 29-year-old protester from Oakland, who wore a crown made of recycled aluminum foil.

"The system wants to medicate us into submission, but my mania is my superpower."

Participants frequently describe their mental health struggles as a direct result of living in a society they view as inherently unjust.

The Washington Wick Institute’s findings align with broader trends in activist circles, where mental health diagnoses are increasingly framed as evidence of heightened social awareness.

The study noted that many protesters viewed their conditions as a form of resistance against societal norms.

"My therapist says I’m borderline, and I’m like, borderline what? A genius?" said Riley Voss, a 24-year-old from Minneapolis who carried a sign reading "Down with Order."

"We’re not unstable; we’re just too awake for this broken world."

While the survey focused on mental health, it also captured the protesters’ broader grievances, which ranged from the existence of currency to the concept of time.

The Washington Wick Institute plans to release a follow-up report examining whether the protesters’ self-reported conditions correlate with their ability to organize events or articulate cohesive thoughts.
