Along the way, you notice a known RWNJ following you and gaining on you. As he gets closer you, you hear him shouting obscenities and calling you all kinds of vile names. You keep walking and do your best to ignore him.
He soon catches up to you and begins bumping into you, stopping in front of you and, eventually, reaching out and slapping at you, all the while continuing his spew of vulgarities and insults. Again, you walk on.
Finally, just as you are about to board your bus, he lunges at you and launches a haymaker at your face. You sidestep and knock him on his butt. He whines and cries and screams more filth. You leave on your bus. That evening, you watch video of the bus stop incident on your local TV station described as "Snowflake Democrat Sucker-punches Republican Commuter! Witnesses Say Attack Was Unprovoked!"
The above is exemplary of the way some of the media report ANY factual negative statement about Trump. "PRESIDENTIAL HARRASSMENT!"
