Seeing an image post here of Trump with a Q lapel pin and an American flag I got an idea to search goings on in 1745 and came across the Jacobite Rising, AKA the Forty-five Rebellion.

On September 16th 1745 "Canter of Coltbrigg": The British 13th and 14th Dragoons flee the Jacobites, near Edinburgh.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacobite_rising_of_1745 Interestingly, or maybe not, I found this at the bottom of the page: "This page was last edited on 16 September 2022, at 19:25 (UTC)."

Jacobites, or Jacobitism was largely a 17th- and 18th-century movement that supported the restoration of the senior line of the House of Stuart to the British throne. The name is derived from Jacobus, the Latin version of James.

So I reckon this whole MAGA movement could be the new Forty-five Rebellion, or at the least, a semi-interesting find.
