It goes back further. The Powell Memo under *Nixon* fomented the modern conservative think tanks incl. Heritage Foundation; rage at colleges for being too liberal; led to high lobbying (People United); attacked regulation and responsible business laws...

"Witch hunt" is Trump-speak for "only attacking because political partisan reasons," invoking Trump Derangement Syndrome etc. It means 'this thing that's bad for me didn't happen.'
Russia's meddling with elections; Trump coercing Ukraine, Georgia: "witch hunt."

Illegal aliens and Latin hookers twerking at the SuperBowl.
Not a single white person or English translation at the Super Bowl.
