They're doing that now. Two weeks ago it was Free Palestine.
Remember that ? Remember those hostages ? No one else here does.
Really though, is this new ? People were spitting on men returning from Vietnam in uniform. We seem to be doing our best to recreate 1968, trips to the moon included.

When Obama was running the first time one of the scare tactics was that he had a 'blue helmeted UN army that will take away all our guns'. Now, I don't know which is dumber, that statement or people who believe it. I recall some sort of 'proof' that was circulated from who knows where. It got traction, even secondhand from people who knew better.
It was something believable - as hard as that is to stomach. It was something that touched upon a raw nerve because it was deliberately being amped up. IDK how may literally literally believed that hogwash but it was a significant number. I remember asking people I knew how on God's Green Earth that could possibly happen only to be met with stares.
All that had two effects. One is that no doubt it swung some votes, one way or the other. Fear rumors are not targeted at those who already Believe but they depend upon them to gain traction. The other is that people went absolutely nuts hoarding ammo and drove the prices up three times higher than normal where they have stayed since.
My guns are still sitting in the same place, the UN hasn't arrived yet. But I'm ready if those bastards do ............................

Google feature omits search results for failed Trump assassination, Big Tech accused of election manipulation
Google users searching for the attempted assassination of former President Trump were miffed when the desired results failed to populate on the search engine.Instead, the website autocomplete feature omitted the results of the July 13 shooting, drawing criticism from social media users who accused the big tech giant of trying to influence the presidential election.
Screenshots from Google instead showed reccommended search results of the failed assassination of Ronald Reagan and the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand, whose death sparked World War I, the shooting of Bob Marley and the failed attempt on former President Gerald Ford.

Even the keywords "Trump assassination attempt" yielded no additional terms from Google, according to users.

I saw a few minutes of an interview Trump did with Laura Ingraham. I can't stand her. IIRC she's another product of NYC AM drive time radio like Hannity and Mark Levin.
Trump looked old as hell to me and he rambled the same hackneyed talking points, made a number of base insults. This guy has already jumped the shark and hasn't figured it out yet.

Dogs are angels that poop in your yard.
Kind of interesting: I made a poster that read "Squirrel for President" and used this picture.
I would show it to people and imitate Trump, saying "I've got the fluffiest ears! No one has fluffier ears than I do!"
Turns out that the next day he got shot in the ear!

Trump extends winning streak with victory over ABC, Stephanopoulos
The $15 million settlement between ABC News, George Stephanopoulos and President-elect Trump was cheered by those with basic objectivity and common sense, while the left again lost its collective mind in what has been a daily occurrence since the election on Nov. 5The settlement was one ABC News had to strike, for the evidence against them was clear as day on video. To review, Stephanopoulos, who is billed as a news anchor but acts and sounds more like the Democratic operative and pitbull he once was in the Clinton administration, repeated on 10 occasions during a March interview with Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., the false allegation that Trump was found liable for rape in a civil case brought by E. Jean Carroll that took place in a New York courtroom earlier this year.
Stephanopoulos also claimed Trump was found guilty of defaming Carroll.
Two problems: That's not what the jury had found.
"How do you square your endorsement of Donald Trump with the testimony we just saw?" Stephanopoulos piously asked Mace on ABC's "This Week." on March 10.
"You've endorsed Donald Trump for president. Judges and two separate juries have found him liable for rape and for defaming the victim of that rape," he also declared. Mace was being interrogated on her endorsement because she was sexually assaulted at age 16, prompting Stephanopoulos to attempt to shame her and portray her as a hypocrite.
Trump promptly sued ABC and the anchor for defamation. The case was proceeding when the network made a stunning announcement on Saturday that it would apologize and pay $15 million to Trump's "Presidential foundation and museum to be established by or for Plaintiff, as Presidents of the United States of America have established in the past."
The network will also pay Trump's legal fees, which were approximately $1 million.
The victory for the 45th and soon-to-be 47th president adds to his stunning post-election run on the legal front. In the past 40 days, Special Counsel Jack Smith dropped his two federal cases against Trump. In Georgia, the RICO case brought by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis continues to collapse, with Willis now ordered by a Georgia judge to turn over all communications she may have had with Smith, with many legal analysts saying the case was already in serious jeopardy. And in New York, Judge Juan Merchan granted Trump's legal team's request to dismiss all charges from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's case while pushing his sentencing date off until after he leaves office. The case will likely be thrown out on appeal well before then.
On the left, the meltdown continued over the settlement.
"Wow. Feels like one more mainstream news organization bending the knee," wrote media analyst Eric Daggans of taxpayer-funded NPR on X.
"Knee bent. Ring kissed. Another legacy news outlet chooses obedience," said Marc Elias, the Democrat lawyer who helped push the discredited Steele dossier.
"ABC’s settlement with Trump feels like it could be an inflection point in the Orbanization of our politics. I hope it isn’t," opined Bill Kristol on X, in attempting to connect Trump to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban.
In addition to clearly mischaracterizing the court's decision, ABC News likely settled here also because it feared what may be revealed in the discovery process. Remember, the news division at the network is run by Dana Walden, an old and dear friend of Vice President Kamala Harris and Doug Emhoff. Walden introduced the pair about a decade ago.
ABC also was rightly accused of overwhelming bias in the first and only presidential debate between Harris and Trump, with moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis fact-checking Trump five times while never doing the same to Harris despite ample opportunities. And according to the Media Research Center, of the first 100 stories ABC News did on Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee, ALL 100 were positive.
For Trump, he's having the best six weeks of his life. He won the popular vote when few believed he could. He swept every swing state, proving many pollsters and forecasters wrong. Again. Republicans took back the Senate and held the House.
Polls show a majority of voters approve of his transition. And for the first time, the RealClearPolitics average of polls shows more voters view Trump favorably than unfavorably. In 2016, he was more than 35 points underwater between his favorable/unfavorable numbers.
Media outlets will undoubtedly be more careful with their language and rhetoric moving forward.
And maybe, just maybe, they'll engage in less activism and more journalism during Trump: The Sequel.

As above, so bellow
Just for context I'm left of centre, but Trump 2.0 is much more polished proposal then v1.0. DT keeps making same extremely positive moves, first that one where he was serving fries in McDonnalds, second where he invided Chines president to inagouration. He's turning into bully with charm on his cuffs.
