their politics are a real mystery

photo of a couple of dozen counter-demonstrators at UMiss mocking a pro-Palestinian demonstration. Many are wearing baseball caps and sunglasses and two have stars and stripes overalls. The ones in front are holding up a TRUMP 2020 flag. All are white, all male, and could fairly be described as chuds. Photo from https://thedmonline.com/may-2nd-pro-palestine-protest/

As the only brown girl in my elementary school & one a handful of kids in the 1% “other” category of my 99% white high school, this photo is somewhat triggering. 💔

I'm not sure if the photographer intentionally tried to invoke this picture or if it was a lucky shot, but boy howdy are those similar.

A picture from the Ole Miss Riot from 1962 where a white crowd protested violently against desegregation of the University of Mississippi. Black student and veteran James Meredith in a well fitting suit and tie is walking by a crowd of white protesters in casual clothing. James Meredith has a calm expression, while the white men in the crowd look at him with disgust and mockery.

well we know who the 'A' student is and we know whose brains have turned into racist mush.

White boys in mobs are uniquely terrifying. And I say that as someone who is about as white as you can get.
