It certainly was. As forced-nonconformists, power has always been vaguely threatened by SWs. Stormy Daniels put it front-and-center, but there’s a storied history of SWs serving the powerful their comeuppance.
There’s no shortage of powerful hypocrites that want to push them back underground. 😞

Can confirm.
Worked in e-mail security. Due to some neat tech, had access to information not a lot of people do. Oh man… the scale of it is bigger than most people would believe.
During the 2016 election, there were times when over 50% of the mail that was being received was literal propaganda.

The cover of Designing Data-Intensive Applications by Martin Kleppmann. There is an image of a wild boar leaping.
A boar sleeping on a mattress by a dumpster.
