About
#Ruthkanda Forever or Ruthkanda Posting refers to a cliché often seen on Twitter (now X), inspired by X user @AlexandraWLee's 2020 post claiming that her child crossed her arms and said "Ruthkanda Forever* after Ruth Bader Ginsberg's death. The trend of liberal-leaning Twitter users claiming that their child weighs in on political issues makes routine reappearances during American election cycles.

On September 18th, 2020, Twitter[1] (now X) user @AlexandraWLee posted, "Just told my 10yo daughter about #RGB. She had tears in her eyes.
