They bastardized Rockwell!
In today's parlance, you could say Norman Rockwell got woke. Which makes the Trump administration's appropriation of his work for their authoritarian project both offensive and moronic.
The MAGAfication of Norman Rockwell
Trump uses the artist’s work—like other cultural icons—to promote Gestapo tactics and nativist ideas.

Of all the dirty tricks: juking USPS rules so that the postmark of mail-in ballots won't reflect the date they were put in the hands of the Postal Service, creating a pretext to throw out the votes.

It's not that they don't know. They want to own the culture that would have hated them or hates them now, so they conveniently ignore the heart of the issues so they can claim the shiny part. I'll tell you what though—they know their voters are stupid enough not to know.
Yup.
I'm telling y'all, these dudes don't know anything.🤡
Frank Sinatra was a vocal anti-racist. He fought racism with his actions, his words, and his money.
Actions:
Refused to stay at segregated hotels. Made sure Black artists got paid fairly.
Words:
Literally wrote an article in Ebony Magazine

(Hot Take TM) Providing mutual aid as part of campaign work is a good thing that candidates should do more.
🧵 Our mutual aid hub has been a HUGE draw for our immense volunteer base, many of whom have never wanted to be involved politics before now.
This model isn’t just about the immediate impacts: It’s about showing our values, building a community, and reaching voters — without selling our soul!

Turning campaigns into mutual aid hubs isn’t good for campaigns or mutual aid! Your campaign manager should be entirely too busy to schlep around 5600 tampons!
