DC Comics distributed the below image to schools as a book cover in 1949, in association with the Institute for American Democracy.

Also, I am contractually obligated to mention that Superman is from Cleveland :)

This is my best one:

RFK Jr as Norma Desmond (Sunset Blvd) — lives in an alternative reality built on lies, gross sense of entitlement from fame, absolutely kills someone
June 12, 2025 at 5:09 AM
Pam Bondi is Velma Von Tussle (Hairspray) -- uses beauty pageant energy to restore "merit-based opportunity", which really means legalizing discrimination (7/x)
June 12, 2025 at 4:33 AM
Tulsi Gabbard is Sally Bowles (Cabaret) -- no qualms about who pays as long as we're having fun. (6/x)
June 12, 2025 at 4:17 AM
And JD Vance is Mrs. Lovett (Sweeney Todd) -- You don't have to do the killings to profit off the meat pies. (5/x)
June 12, 2025 at 4:12 AM
Tom Homan is Macavity (Cats) - kidnaps other cats
June 12, 2025 at 4:10 AM
Kristi Noem as Miss Hannigan (Annie) - absolutely does not care about the welfare of children, always hoping to be camera ready in case Daddy Warbucks shows up (3/x)
June 12, 2025 at 4:10 AM
Donald Trump is The Wizard (Wicked) - ostensibly in charge but has no real powers and you know Madam Morrible is behind it all. (2/x)
June 12, 2025 at 4:10 AM
Trump associate as musical-theater characters! Since Trump/Vance are at Les Mis, let's start with

Elon Musk as Monsieur Thénardier - The thieving, lawless (a foil to both Javert and Valjean) antagonist who steals shamelessly. Some may find him comical, but he will rob corpses in the sewers. (1/x)

“Strains bounds of propriety?”

Jane Austen writing the headlines over at the Times now??

Violating the rule of law continues to be the biggest story and we cannot push it from A1. Everything — separation of powers, citizenship, rights, justice — is built upon it. When the foundation crumbles, we all fall.
