    I love the little “bad” things about this: the cop wearing shorts, the electric car, … and people looking happy.

      A lot of it already exists too. Like if you want to burn a flag in public you’ll have a designated area your permit would allow. Cops wear shorts sometimes. Gay couples exist. Statues of much worse people exist. So much of it is “I’m afraid of people.”

      Keep in mind a right wingers view of the left is like a Catholic’s view of satanism, agnosticism, and atheism. The assumption isn’t that the left wants fundamentally different things, the assumption is that the left wants different means to the same end, that end being a controlled world view. When right wingers create these things, they tell on themselves. They present what the left wants as simply being fully in opposition to their target audience thinks about. They view left and right as oppositional parties thirsty for control. It doesn’t matter if the reason the left defended Bill Clinton in the 90s was that impeachment should be used to curb illegal behavior, not for personal petty squabbles. That’s how the right uses impeachment trials, so that’s their presumption of what the left uses them for, too.

      As for the things the left does want but don’t appear here? These are things the right doesn’t conceive of as being actual aims. No public transit? That’s because they do not care about or think about it

      My critique of this artist is the most absurd thing he could think of was a statue of Bill Clinton getting a BJ. For real? Like give up. It’s not like a certain party idolizes racists and traitors and has erected statues of them across the US. Oh but they have horses, so they are legit.

      Due to health protection laws, the flag is made of natural fibers and paints that are non-carcinogenic

    All this going on, and would you look at that, the very traditional looking couple in the middle look perfectly fine. In fact, they look pretty happy about life. As does everyone else. The horror.

    Edit: zoomed in a little more. I guess their supposed to be angry? I thought the guy was happy at first. Not sure what exactly they have to be angry about, as literally no one is doing anything to them.

      The horror indeed. Everybody seems happy. Although I’m concerned that the sheep can’t give proper consent. But if they’ve mastered cloning, maybe that sheep is more sapient and vocal than I’m assuming a sheep to be. Then a gain the simplest explanation is that consent is just a conservative blondspot. I’m also very concerned that there is a certain lack of diversity here, but that’s probably just another natural blindspot for the conservative artist.

      You know what else I don’t see in this picture? No homeless. No cops murdering citizens. No children being shot in school. No unregulated, untaxed, and unsafe drugs being sold on street corners. No surveillance on every corner. Obviously no shame about sex, but again I want to know how that sheep is able to consent.

        There is nothing in the picture that would suggest an untoward relationship between the sheep and it’s owner. Please get your mind out of the gutter. /s

      Seriously, free speech zones are a mockery of the Constitution.

      Unless we are in red flag fire weather, you should be able to burn your flag wherever you please. If we’re in red flag weather, I politely request you, I don’t know, paper shredder the flag?

        It’s an oof because it shows, yes, we could live happily coexisting with animals without unnecessarily exploiting, enslaving, abusing and killing them for commodities and entertainment, which we have alternatives for. The future is vegan/plant-based and animal rights are respected in a progressive world.

    It seems funny at first, but knowing they don’t hate a media twisted version of you, but the real thing, is more depressing than funny.
