At the time it first came out, that was a popular slogan. Its the idea that Trump wants to make himself king of the U.S.A., so its an anti-trump and pro democracy slogan.
Its been a minute since I was active in that space, but I imagine it is the functioning national parts of the 50501 and similar progressive liberal resistance movements that Our Revolution PAC is putting their resources into.
When I was involved, I wouldn't have called them neoliberal. The mass current was mostly progressive liberal, with militant radical elements on one side pushing no work with police, recognition of Palestinian genocide; and the other side being quite conservative, sort of "a lot of MAGAs are angry too!" who pushed for depoliticization and police collaboration. There were some genuine socialist radicals fighting on a national level, and winning ground. Also lots of local radicals like PSL and various abolitionist anarchists on the local level fighting for their communities and providing education.
The character is more like liberal social democrat, if I had to judge the first no kings protest. But things have likely changed since then.
