The orders have apparently gone out to Democratic allies to demonize political opposition to the Democrats, particularly grass-roots opposition. The attempts so far have been, to put it charitably, childish.

Polls show nobody's buying it. For starters, some of the accusations (to paraphrase, "they called the President a Nazi! This is horrible and unprecedented!") give the impression that there is something seriously wrong with the accuser's mind. Accusations of racist epithets and other abuses seem to have a remarkable shortage of any evidence other than the accuser's word.

Your second post, even assuming none of those signs are Photoshop jobs (this one, for example), advertises the grass-roots nature of these protests. It's the leftist astroturf marches that have pre-printed signs handed out by the organizers.

Meanwhile, for the Democrats, things are falling apart at a dozen different seams.
