The use of terror is not a byproduct of Trumpian politics: it is central to how he governs.
(Politico) - An Indiana Senate Republican who President Donald Trump called out in a Truth Social post Sunday for not backing the White House’s plan to draw new congressional maps was later targeted by a swatting, according to local authorities.

I'll just put this here. The people of the Chicago, for now, have nonviolently turned out the tyrants. Made their work too costly. Charlotte, we can teach you things; as you will surely soon have things to teach us. We shall overcome.

Need an analog to the “police passive” for this kind of description of sexually abusive men “being Me Tooed”—as if they were merely caught in a storm, their own actions and behavior irrelevant to their outcomes. Call it the predator passive.
When you write the whole piece around the idea of “MeToo” as an adequate description of what caused specific men to lose specific positions, and when you do this incredibly weird cutesy business to avoid *mentioning what happened*, you do a disservice to readers.

I actually think a more important version of this would be to cut it off at like 2014 or early 2015, before Trump was a frontrunner. He’s still the most commonly mentioned person during the period when nobody can say there was any political reason to mention him
