People need to look at the full chart and the article accompanying it, and not focus so much on what is reflected for the Left. The 7-month (only) 2025 result is/was the Left’s knee-jerk reaction to Trump being elected. It’s simply a “temporary” blip. www.axios.com/2025/09/28/l...

In case you don’t know what the Reichstag Fire was or why it’s relevant now, it was an incident soon after Hitler became chancellor that he used as a pretext to destroy civil rights and seize total power.

Smokey the Bear gets locked up for crashing his own birthday party to teach kids that logging companies are responsible for the majority of forest fires. – Earth First! Action, Oregon, 1985. V.Vale interviews Mike Roselle in RE/Search: Pranks!
B&W photo of a park ranger handing Smokey the Bear a citation. •V: Tell us a prank.
•MR: In Corvallis, Oregon, 1985, the Forest Service had reserved a high school auditorium for a huge Smokey the Bear birthday party for elementary school children. There were going to be 300 kids present, plus parents.
We printed up a leaflet (written in big letters so a child could understand) saying that the chances of Smokey's favorite forest being destroyed by logging was 10 times greater than being burned down in a forest fire.
Actually, logging accounts for most of the fires. Campers account for a small percentage; lightning accounts for the widest variety of fires, but they're small and they usually put themselves out because of accompanying thunderstorms.
Children hardly cause any fires! Yet the Forest Service spends millions of dollars a year having Smokey tell kids not to play with matches.
We had heard that the Forest Service didn't have a Smokey the Bear costume-someone had washed it and the bottom had shrunk way down. Earth First! did, so I put on the bear costume and walked into the party and the kids immediately surrounded me because it was Smokey's birthday—I was moving through this sea of kids passing out flyers. The Forest Service guys came over and said, "Look, can't you just leave? We don't mind you demonstrating outside, but we don't want you inside here." I said,
"This is my birthday party; I'm not going anywhere." I kept walking around passing out flyers and talking to the kids.
There was a law enforcement ranger there-one of the…There was a law enforcement ranger there—one of the "tree pigs" as they're called. He was one of the bigger guys.
He walked over and put his arm around me, smiling at me one of those "You asshole" kind of grins as he said,
"Look.
Come on. Take this outside!" He had his arm around me and I had my arm around him and he's pushing and I'm resisting-we're about the same size. Meanwhile the kids think it's really cool-the ranger and Smokey! Finally he said, "Well, I'm going to have to put you under arrest." I said,
"That's going to be really great-arresting Smokey the Bear at his own party!"
When he realized that I wanted him to arrest me, he hesitated. Then he tried to tear my head off! But he tried to do it in such a way that the kids didn't get too freaked out.We had this struggle going on that was subtly violent — I said through gritted teeth, "Look, you're going to tear this cos-tume" and he hissed. "Well, that's okay." Finally he pulled it off and said, "Look kids, he's not a real Smokey," and I said,
"Hey kids, he's not a real ranger" and grabbed his flat-brimmed hat and threw it across the room like a frisbee. I said, "Your glasses are next," and he just kind of stared at me. At this point a bunch of people from our group came over to me, and a bunch of Rangers came over to him, and they pulled us apart.
• V: What were the kids doing? They must've been horrified.
• MR: They actually couldn't hear the conversations, and of course the expression on Smokey the Bear's face didn't change. The ranger was trying to keep it cool so no one could tell we were having a fight, but all the adults knew. I finally left.
Next morning we were on the front page of the news-paper. The Forest Service had done all this work to get the press out to Smokey's birthday party so they could tell kids not to play with matches, even though loggers start fires.
Here was the story on the front page-but it wasn't the story they wanted. This was one of my favorite actions, because it was a monkey wrench of their media.
The Forest Service pays a guy $40,000 a year to organize these events, and he has a budget of god knows how much to work with all these civic groups and timber industry organi-zations. They have this whole machine that tries to make the community supportive of what they're doing. But half a dozen people and a bear costume can turn that machine against them. I like stunts where you don't have to call the media-they call the media and all you do is show up.
