These days I think a lot about artist George Grosz, who barely escaped from Germany to the US in 1930s as the Nazis rose to power. His scathing critiques of the rise of a fascist society put him at real risk of retribution. This is his "A Little Child Shall Lead Them (Family)" from 1932

Hot dog coat-of-arms, created for the 50th anniversary of the invention of the hot dog, at Coney Island in 1939. Shows a hot dog being knighted, flanked by two wiener dogs, crowned by mustard. (They took some liberties with the Latin, but do you expect a hot dog place to have an in-house Latinist?)

the DNC might take a peek:
Our medieval curator Alison Ray introduces Rawlinson Bodleian Library MS. Rawl. D. 252...a 15th Century necromancer's journal.

This manuscript contains spells written in Latin and Middle English, and would have served as a reference for a professional sorcerer.

Just so does the white community, as a means of keeping itself
white, elect, as they imagine, their political (!) representatives. No
