Authoritarian regimes often try to co-opt cherished cultural darlings. Exploiting Norman Rockwell in this way is offensive, and also factually wrong, if you know anything about his artistic trajectory.

The MAGAfication of Norman Rockwell
Trump uses the artist’s work—like other cultural icons—to promote Gestapo tactics and nativist ideas.

First Icelandic Santa arrives tonight! Jólasveinninn (the yule lads) are a bunch of mischievous brothers that come down from the mountains, leave presents in kids’ shoes, and commit mayhem.
Tonight it's Stekkjastaur. In English, Sheep-Cote Clod or Gimpy. He's got a peg leg and harasses sheep.

Trump's economic policy in a nutshell: strip regulations, cut taxes for the rich, invest in AI to kill jobs. Add tariff inflation and you've got a recipe for disaster for working people. The bust is coming.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Trump has unilaterally conducted illegal strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities and therefore started a war between the United States and Iran on behalf of the Israeli government without authorization by the congress, in opposition to the constitution and congressional war powers.

Let’s dispel something straight off: being disabled doesn’t mean unhealthy. I can’t walk and aside from that my doctor says I’m extremely healthy.
Dr Oz on Fox: "It's your patriotic duty to be as healthy as you can."

Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy.
Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media.
That’s why Trump is attacking education, science, and the arts – to prevent us from learning.
