Sounds like nefarious Klingon propaganda to me.

Actually, this quote, “…in these moments, Trump and his audience mutually pledge to each other their fidelity and their sacred honor.” is what caught my eye and made me shiver this morning. Remember that the motto of the SS was, "My loyalty is my honor." Some people translate it as "My honor is my loyalty" but it works either way.

Do the MAGAts know that quote? I'll bet that SOME of them do. As for the rest, if you said it to them out of context, they would probably think it's a great idea. There is nothing to laugh about in that quote. As for Jan 6, yes that was their sacred honor on display. Their fuhrer called, and they obeyed. See the first paragraph of this comment.

"Trump Shrugged." I believe it's part of a triptych with "Trump Lied" and "Trump Kissed Putin's Ass."

Thank you for introducing me to the amazing work of the painter Jon McNaughton. He has captured the stunningly moronic and infantile template for all propaganda posters. The great news is now we can just simply replace the lead figure of this iconic painting with whomever currently to worship (Mao, Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, Jim Jones, all the greats), add a palm tree, or a mountain top in the background and viola... great men need great art.
