Most of us should remember, though many of us block completely from our minds, the overly angry, threatening, and violent anti-Bush protests that the 2000’s decade was dominated by. Undoubtedly, you walked by signs and groups of people, even in a typically quiet neighborhood, that called him Hitler, Nazi, said he should be killed, aborted, etc…
Of course, though we all saw (or took part in) it in life, most of us will struggle to remember any media coverage of it. Yet, now that a new regime is in power, the whole idea has changed. The media loves to show rallies of “tea partiers” especially when there happens to be one guy with a pro-gun rights, or pro right to life sign being held up. Government forbid we try to protect the lives of children, or protect our right to protect ourselves from said government. Not to mention the media reviews themselves tend to use derogatory terms like “tea-bagger” when describing these fairly low-key gatherings.
