they like trump and want to help him rule over us. so you set the narrative to dismiss the impact of protests (contrast to promotion of much-smaller anti-lockdown or "truckers convoy" protests)
patiently explaining to national political reporters that the people who organize No Kings are also doing the daily advocacy, voter registration, mutual aid, and immigrant defense, and that just because the cameras show up for the big crowd does not mean that work did not exist before and after
There are a ton of obvious examples of this. How does a political newcomer running in a Senate primary get a gushing profile in … Bon Appetite magazine? www.bonappetit.com/story/graham...
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.
“No Kings is the largest protest movement in American history. But if it was such a big deal, then why don’t we, the New York Times, care?”
My question here is, why does the founding generation matter? The mythology and the people who created the PRC are all gone, but that regime is as strong as ever. The IR has its own collection of elite families who produce heirs to the tyranny.
Same with Cuba. Same with North Korea. Restraint from bombing those places hasn’t ended those regimes.
Democrats, progressive influencers, and journalists should leave X collectively and encourage their followers to do the same.
The thing people get wrong here: we have more power than X does. If every progressive left X, it would be much worse for X than it would be for progressives.
Oh, my god
