Party and it shows an elephant instead of a white hood.

Not sure how they did it? Google level or is it pulling the image from another website?

I needed that. My chortle evolved into a guffaw.

I bet there's some inside hack going on.

I thought you were kidding. Sorry.

"armchair general" or some such nonsense. I just sterilized my browser.

Leads to an image from from shit hole site. Are they manipulating results to make the image show up?

so they are probably hacked

The election symbol of the US Democratic Party has been changed to a rat within the Google search knowledge panel that shows when searching for the party's name, instead of the usual donkey-themed one.

While no one knows how this happened, the new rat-themed symbol displayed when searching for "democratic party" on Google is now automatically loaded from a post made by a now-banned user on a history forum in January.

The rat election symbol is currently being shown for all search results that show the Democratic Party symbol. The Republican Party logo remains unchanged, for now.

Researchers from Under the Breach, who first discovered this change, say it is unclear how this was done.

Oh, I feel really safe now.

This appears to be new, overall. Here's an update from the same article linked above:

I'm glad people on DU do though.

When they find something that seems to fit what they're looking for, they use that image on their site. Like if you go shopping for curtains. It's just something to brighten the page. Of course, robots are not the best judges of taste or character; they lack social context. And that's how we end up with this kind of image on the most powerful search engine in the world.

for example here is an August 2, 2019 post from a RW part of of sports site

Amirite?

the image

It seems that "they" seem to go this route.

Carry on boys and girls. Damn the torpedoes. Fuck trump and his minions.

but down right now; no animal icon

No image representing the Democrats in any way is on the page now. Hacked? Disgruntled employee who got harassed when he wore his MAGA hat to work?

We all know their brain power is not much but their sense of funny is kindergarten. Seriously.
