Still from the film, "Beetlejuice," with the title character and, "shrunken head guy," aka Donald Trump, playing himself.

OK, but there are a LOT more where that came from.

Just in case you're ever curious.

I'll be waiting right here, thumbing through the, "Puffy Vance," folder. Let me know if you change your mind...
Beardless & vaguely smug? constipated? Vance smiles at the camera.

It's the beard - he's trying for gravitas, but arrived at haggard instead.
Beardless Vance in all his porcine glory.

I'm starting a movement to post this photo of Wooly Willy in response to every public appearance.
Side-by-side photos of presidential advisor Stephen Miller. On the left is his natural hairline, on the right he appears to have applied paint and/or iron filings to simulate hair.

You forgot the alt-text.
A cartoon of a hunched-over Cenk Uygur with his hands in his pockets, standing across a sidewalk & glaring at his nephew Hasan Piker. Uygur is saying, "I loathe every person I see on the street! Lookit that stupid asshole!" while the Piker figure is whistling. Piker has a label above his head with an arrow pointing to him; the label reads, "Normal guy"

Ooh, I love a good book recommendation, esp. historical works about Black folks in the U.S. Lemme just look up a preview...
Pages 58 & 59 from George R.R. Martin's novel, "Fevre Dream," about vampires in the Antebellum South. Image highlights an example of Martin's profligate use of the word, "nigger," throughout.

You might want to tread lightly on insulting foods traditionally eaten by poor folks around the world. Greece won't emerge unscathed.

Exhibit A: Kokoretsi
Greek Kokoretsi: "...a rotisserie dish made up of skewering seasoned lamb or goat organ meat, wrapped in caul fat and then by yards of cleaned intestines."

"The Great Arsenal of Democracy?"

What sort of munitions did that arsenal hold for Black Americans in 1935? Indigenous Americans? Asian-Americans? Who was being shot?

One of the reasons we've slid into fascism is white Americans are clinging to an imagined past that never existed.

Kristi Noem, allegedly:
Black, white & red film poster for, "Ilsa, She-Wolf of The SS," a 1970's X-rated exploitation film starring Dyanne Thorne. The titular character is standing against a pastiche backdrop with, among other things, scantily-clad chained figures, a tank & guard tower and an enormous red swastika.

Maybe he did, but forgot to speak directly into Durbin's ear trumpet...

An exemplar; unattributable to a single person + doesn't explicitly mention violence or any action to be taken by the reader:
A flyer titled, "Wanted For Treason," that was handed out in Dallas, 1963. The top features two mugshot-esque photos of President Kennedy & the text lists seven allegedly treasonous actions by Kennedy. The list is primarily Cold War-related, accusing the president of favouring Communism & Russia, betraying allies, invading a sovereign state, being anti-Christian & lying.

Everybody knows that the peaceful transfer of power is how we know everything is fine & we don't need to worry about authoritarianism.

Right?

I tried picturing him wearing these when he typed that but it made it more sinister:

Timeline synchronicity...
Text of two unrelated Bluesky posts which happened to appear back-to-back. The first is from the creator of The Mountain Goats, a band, while the second discusses hosting a sing-along to one of the band's songs.
