The examples shown in this tweet are from 2018, 2020, 2022, and 2023. 4 examples over 5 years cannot reasonably be described as ‘sudden overuse’ Here is a story from 2012 that described Democrats as ‘cherry-picking’ too. The term has been used in politics for a very long time https://www.npr.org/sections/itsallpolitics/2012/09/06/160656546/clinton-and-other-dems-did-some-cherry-picking-fact-checkers-say
