Talking points for No Kings? (hexbear.net)

So I am being brought to one of these No Kings marches on Saturday. Any pointers on talking to libs in a way that they will listen and get curious about Socialism?

A couple orgs will be there including PSL, but from comrades' stories from the last two of these they don't actually bring up Socialism during their speaking slots and talk about imperialism instead. I would like to be more explicit in tying what is happening to Capitalism and especially try to get across that Trump is just a symptom of the problem.

I just ask libs what they think the protest is accomplishing. Usually you get a variety of answers, all of which are obviously wrong. Then I ask them what their followup actions are. When they say they don't know, I ask the first question again.

This annoys them heavily but eventually it starts to click for some of them
