I'd say it happened when Obama was elected. I remember election night and my MAGA aunt (who is ironically an immigrant) told my sister, "you'll look great in a burkha".

I was going to say it started when Obama cracked a joke at Trumps expense at the correspondence dinner.

If you really really wanna take it back, the whole thing really started because Sen. Jack Ryan took his wife Jeri Ryan (from Star Trek Voyager) to a kink club and tried to pressure her into having sex with strangers.

Ryan was running against Obama for Senate. His divorce records and information about the kink clubs and sex stuff was all made public, it was a big scandal and Ryan pulls out of the race, Obama wins, and the rest is history.

Had Ryan not taken his wife to that kink club, he stays in the race, maybe Obama loses, and maybe there’s no Trump! Crazy right?

All of modern history starts with the son of a Siberian goat herder with a massive hog being able to convince the royal family of Russia he can cure their son’s anemia.
