This one deserves to on your list twice, @JohnT.
Ugh. Marjorie Taylor Greene first came to national attention by stalking Hogg and yelling at him-- and then she got elected to Congress!
Crisis actors!
“You didn’t build that.”
- Google Doodles (similar DNA to the Starbucks cups “outrage”)
- IRS targeting “controversy”
- Obama’s “apology tour”
- Pretty much any occasion where Obama bowed
I’m not sure if this is a freakout or if it’s more of a “fake accusation that is being lobbed at EVERYTHING connected with Democrats,” but:
COMMUNISM !!!1!!!1!!!
As today, from next-Speaker-of-the-House hopeful Elise Stefanik:
eta: I see that JohnT did include ‘communism’ in his first chart. But perhaps it deserves some additional focus as it’s clearly going to be used ALL THE TIME as a means of smearing Dems for the midterms.
You got that one backwards. Koppel did read the names of the dead and that made the right mad because how dare he imply the war wasn’t going perfectly. Sinclair stations refused to air that episode.
Another freakout: Church of Satan. Anyone who actually learns about them knows that the CoS doesn’t literally worship Satan. It’s simply a group set up to protest against public schools force-feeding Christianity down people’s throats.

“Yeah, Laura Bush might have killed someone in a drunken stupor, but do you think Michelle Obama is a man?”
Mainstream conservatism, 2008.
@JohnT , how do you plan to organize this list once you’ve got as much as you think you’re going to get?
Incidents listed chronologically?
Incidents categorized into some kind of groupings?
Incidents grouped by which Republicans led the various freakouts? Or by which Democrats were accused of something? Or by what somebody was being accused of?
Or, you could list this all in a modern database with multiple indexes to sort the list in a bunch of different ways?
I think you should share it with a national news source. Maybe a mainstream one, or something like Daily Kos, which readers can contribute to:
Wasn’t there someone with a website that listed every lie Trump told? Might be a good place to look for ideas. And reminders.
So, the way this began is this: my next article is about the Emasculation of the Conservative Male and, while ‘conceptualizing’ it, realized I wanted a list of all the useless culture war bullshit foisted on us by the 35% who are being driven to whine about all this crap.
As for future plans, right now I’m just going to focus on adding to the list. I have no database skillz and, hell, indexing by date alone would be a challenge just for the time consumption aspects of it. My idea was a Wiki link (or similar) for each listing.
In honor of the satanic panic, let’s hope the total reaches 666 soon!
The Secret plan(s) which will have Trump reinstated.
Trump was sent by God.
