X users are scoffing at the banner, saying it has a ‘North Korean aesthetic’ and gives off ‘Saddam Hussein vibes’

    Why did they use his ‘I’m currently shitting myself’ expression?

      I’d give 20-1 odds that it’s a Chinese-made print on petroleum-based material, and highly unlikely to be canvas. So it would make beautiful art as it burns and drips.

      Edit: picture this- this building with this banner at night. The banner in flames at a rightward angle. At the bottom of the banner where it’s burning, the cheaply made plastic based banner melts as fast as it burns. Dripping, black molten plastic stalactites feed tiny black plastic stalagmites below. Freedom and law are seen in burn barrels behind the building.

      He doesn’t have nearly that much class. He is a gold painted plastic non-body-safe buttplug at best.

          With that sharp ridge of plastic at the meeting points, called flash, because they didn’t bother to clean it up before moving it down the line.

    I can see the the kinda yin-yang thing they are going for; Lincoln the president who ended slavery and Trump, the guy who wants to turn us into slaves for the oligarchy.
