I was in college in 2003. I remember freedom fries, but tbh it wasn't like a widespread thing. It was mostly mocked by everyone, not something a lot of folks got on board with.

That said, I see comparisons of the overall zeitgeist now and back in 2003. TBQH in my experience the two are not comparable. 2003 was watching the consent manufacturing apparatus operate at 100% power. The ruling class threw everything they had into it. And correspondingly, the entirety of US society was pushed to wanting war. I wasn't even a leftist at the time, but I spent like 30 minutes online (I would say I googled stuff but I was using AltaVista at the time) trying to understand it and realized it was obvious bullshit. The preceding wave of support for the war made me feel like I was losing my mind. Right now it feels like most Americans just sorta accept "Ukraine good Russia bad" and don't have much interest beyond that. In 2003, I remember the pro-invasion opinions were both more widespread and more deeply held. But this is all just anecdotal, admittedly.
