earlier today The Husband wondered whether NYT's No Kings coverage was so bad that it would become counterproductive for them--like, propagandaing so hard that it's not credible/useful and makes people suspicious of what else they're mischaracterizing

anyway,

The NYT says today’s #NoKings protests had “no shortage of skeptics,” and then quoted exactly one of those skeptics: The chairman of the Ole Miss College Republicans (as of 2025.)

But of course, the Times doesn’t ID him as such. He’s just a Concerned Youth.

The marches had no shortage of skeptics.
In Oxford, Miss,, Cass Rutledge, a first-year law student at the University of Mississippi, walked through the No Kings protest and around the town square on Saturday and questioned why people thought Mr. Trump was acting like a king.
"He is, you know, a duly elected president who won the popular vote and the electoral college in a landslide," Mr. Rutledge said.
"And so I'm a little bit confused on how he's acting differently than any other president."
He pointed to the stalemate in Congress over the SAVE America Act, the Republican-driven bill to tighten voter identification and registration rules, which Democrats have called an attempt to suppress turnout based on false claims of voting fraud. Mr. Rutledge said that Mr.
Trump was "going through the process" to try to get the legislation passed.

1. In a "landside"

2. oooh I would LOVE to slap the shit outta that little smegma face

3. Ok, that pic of him, he looks nervous.

Like the kid stealing cookies and hoping nobody finds out.
He also doesn't look he should be in college; looks like he's just barely out of middle school.

4. None of this is a surprise to me.....I grew up in the Bible Belt.

I guarantee you the attitudes of this young man are very common in this America. It is generational. These kids assimilate politically into the society in which they live. It's very much like religion...if you grow up in a Catholic family you will be Catholic, Baptist.... Baptist.... Muslim.... Muslim.

Unless and until you are exposed to diversity of ideas then it is all you know. The Rural/Urban_Suburban divide is the same.

This is America....this is who we are....bigotry, racism, homophobia...they are seems normal when everyone around you is like that. Indoctrination at a very young age affect people for the rest of their lives.

In 1950, about 90% of America was white....that has now dropped to about 60% and that is viewed as a threat by many white people and they will not willingly concede power or societal advantage without a fight.

It's sad, it's wrong, it has always been a battle....but it is real.

The battle continues... ❤️ RESIST!! ✊️

5. Who conducted the interview?

Maggie Haberman?

6. Read this yesterday and wasn't surprised

NYT doing what they always do. I thought it was funny that this guy is a law student and is totally ignorant about the U.S. Constitution. Now I know why.

7. Looks like his mama still has to wipe his *ss.
