Hilariously bad Republican Art

[Michchamp]

Yesterday on twitter, all the leftist and socialist America-haters I follow were mocking this guy's "art."

Anyway, this one "Teach A Man To Fish" is great:

BWAHAHAHAH! As if Trump even knows what a fishing pole looks like!!!

If you zoom in on his website, you'll see the books the guy was reading before he ran into Trump (sitting in the forest wearing a business suit, and fishing) were titled "Socialism" and "Justice Warrior."

Art imitates... Fox and Friends?

Here's Trump wiping off the American flag at a pro football game, after Colin Kaepernick "disrespected" it:

This one is epic... you owe it to yourself to click the "interactive version" so you can read the captions about each person. I think a 2nd grader wrote them for his history class project:

someone commented that it looks like Reagan doesn't approve of the impromptu rendition of "My Girl" by the Temptations that Washington, Lincoln, Adams and Hamilton are doing.

The "African American soldier" just behind them is named "King" as a tribute to Martin Luther King, Jr. ... even though King was a staunch pacifist and strongly against the Vietnam War, and the military in general. At least he didn't include a Confederate soldier...

The rest of the captions are just as dumb, full of typos, and/or historically or factually incorrect. Like "WWII Vietnam Soldier" or "Continental Soldier"

But who needs facts when you can just paint pictures like this!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Oh, god, these Republitards crack me!!! they're so special! I think I bruised my spleen laughing at these, LOL ROFLMAO!!! >

 

[Michchamp]

the caption for the guy in the bottom left corner is:

"Immigrant


Our country is made of all kinds of people from all ethnicities, in reality, all of us are immigrants."


NO! BUILD THAT WALL!

 

[Michchamp]

okay, a couple more:

Obama as Nero, fiddling while DC burns. I thought DC was bad and Conservatives wanted it burned!

titled "Andrew Breitbart - No Fear"

What?!?!

His and Hers "Stand Your Ground" pics...

Sometimes I can tell right(wing) away before reading a comment, post, or reply, whose ideology is involved b/c of all the patriotic images, icons, biblical quotes, and Murkin themes surrounding their avatar, G+, Yahoo, Twitter, ect...bylines.

I used to enjoy seeing Old Glory and patriotic depictions back around the Bicentennial and prior to the end of the 20th century, but ever since then, I just cringe @ the expectation that I am about to read, hear, and/or see bias, as if only conservatives have the right to wrap themselves in the flag, defended the US in wartime, and "supported" our troops.

Just b/c liberals/progressives don't flaunt our "love of country" and find fault with our military and politicians' imperialist motivations, don't agree that all Muslims are terrorists, or believed that all Russians/Chinese are/were gawdless commies, doesn't make us anti-Murkin, like RW groups and organizations try to portray the Left as being. There are Democrats, liberals, and progressives who are as deeply religious as any on the Right, its just that most LBGTs, agnostics, and athiests find that the Left and Independents do not have nearly as many xtians who deride them as being heretics and heathen. Or consider Jews and their part of Jerusalem as being a necessary evil ingredient for "Judgement Day" "The Rapture" and the return of baby jeebus.

Nationalism/patriotism or a more general, tribalism can be a good thing when it's a set of principles to aspire to rather than a birthright. I felt the same way about 'Michigan Man.' Idiots ruined the term.

I forget if it was a Superman cartoon or what, but I've seen stuff from the 50's where you've got someone picking on something foreign and the response is 'We don't do that here in America.' (I know those same cartoons were racist in the 40's, but still.)

...

I take the fact that they appeal to extreme forms of nationalism (a more accurate term than "patriotism"), religion, and political threats, instead of logic and reason, as a sign of how bankrupt their principles really are. But gosh darn it, if they aren't effective.

It's a lot more inspiring to say that national single payer health insurance is "nanny state communism," and would result in doctors randomly deciding to kill you, than engage in a fair analysis of why our current health care costs are skyrocketing, yet coverage options and out-of-pocket costs aren't also improving.

...

"a set of principles to aspire to" is not "tribalism" though. it's pretty much the opposite of tribalism.

And I guess the "Michigan Man" thing shows why it's a bad idea to use a jingoistic slogan in the first place; they can easily be misinterpreted, or co-opted and lead astray.

Although, the Michigan Man comment was dumb to begin with. Bill Frieder was a Michigan Man... Steve Fisher wasn't. Steve Fisher played a big role in the worst athletic scandal in Michigan history. Bo was just not a very good AD.

 

[Michchamp]

I guess the "Michigan Man" comment was bad with the benefit of hindsight.

Bo was obviously upset with Frieder, which wasn't totally fair, and overreacted. he admitted as much in his book. Though it's tough to fault Frieder for not trying to reconcile... given Bo's stature, his implication that Frieder was not a "Michigan Man" was as forceful as a Papal Excommunication.

Yeah, but I read Sgt Rock-like comic books in the 60s where the Koreans and Vietnamese were called gooks, charlie, and slants. Vietnam was as big a thing in my youth as the Gulf War was to Gen X, and Iraq-Afghanistan to Millennials. I became anti-war as I entered my teens, and just barely avoided registering for the draft. My late garage sale traveling mother somehow found and bought a very large map of SE Asia that I had tacked on my bedroom wall, and I marked the places on it, where I read newspaper articles about US troop involvement.

...but I digress. it's clear Republican art sucks, even without the benefit of hindsight. >

Tribalism is a set of beliefs driven by membership in a group. It absolutely can be about principles to aspire to. It can also be all the bad shit you're talking about.

 

[Gulo Blue]

Like in the Pledge of Allegiance, instead of whining about indoctrination, we should emphasize and aspire to uphold the "liberty and justice for all" part.

It would be cool to still have that map.

It wasn't a "cheap" map either, it was multicolor (but not topographic) with a vellum? feel to it and had wooden rollers on both top and bottom. She liked to hit the Grosse Pointes' garage/estate sales.

I get what you're saying, but think "tribalism" has negative connotions that the phrase "aspirational beliefs" doesn't, so all I'm saying is conflating the two could lead to...bad things. I don't know, like those aspirational beliefs leading to a negative tribalism.

Like "People should think for themselves" becoming "let's kill anyone who doesn't think for themselves!"

Shouldn't the foot with the toe tag be black; the toe of an young black man who was executed while unarmed by the drunk racist white cop sitting on the other side of the painting?

I suppose....but what gives with the "cock" perched near Obama's arm, and the plane flying into a skyscraper? SCOTUS ruled for gay marriage, Obama had nothing to do with it.
