25. As college freshmen, we made signs for a Wallace rally, took a photographer, bombed them.

I remember one sign said "Demagogue Wanted" because it into print. It was a fun prank to protest the man's ideas at his rally. We also went to all Republican events to asked questions of the candidates. A candidate for governor really lost it at a presser when I hit him with the question he least wanted to answer.

They need to control media events or their message does not shine. That means they need to control the people. Good luck with that!
