When did “get out and vote” become a passive aggressive way of saying, “Get out and vote Democrat”?

Liberals and leftists have commandeered the phrase, and all of a sudden what used to be a civic duty has become a condemnation against those who plan to vote Republican on November 6. A photo on my Facebook newsfeed of an “I voted!” sticker accompanied with the caption, “Change is up to YOU!!” was the first thing I woke up to this morning. That, and a whole host of other posts declaring that my so-called friends had voted in the “blue wave” that has slowed to what seems like more of a trickle these past few weeks.
