What makes you think this is "obviously [an] attack" rather than just a cautionary tale? I certainly found it helpful to learn about a historic leader with strong similarities to Trump even though most of the left-leaning media portray him as something entirely new.
Two times in one day I read the term doofus which I don't remember having encountered before. Is this word just trending recently or was it always frequently been used before?
But I know where you're coming from. I have the same deja-vu experience quite often, where I run across some word or topic on multiple (independent) occasions within one day without ever having heard it before. I guess our brains are just biased to notice such situations, whereas encountering a novel word/thing/concept only once occurs too often and thus is boring on its own.
