      Ah yes, the early days of Twitter, back in 1932 when FDR was elected.

          Because it’s a political tradition since 1932?

          Sort of sounds to me like asking why saying “God bless America” is so prevalent now. Because it’s standard political stuff.

            Ah yes, who could forget president GRFJ?

            I don’t know if you’re being purposefully dense or just ignorant but there’s definitely an uptick in politicians and public figures being referred to by their initials in the media for the last 20 years.

            Of fucking course I realize it’s not the first time in history it’s been done.

                  The first one a handful of people tried to make happen and it didn’t. Never heard of the second or third and I don’t even know who you’re talking about. Absolutely no one called her the fourth, but I’ll give you the last one.
