This is exactly the message that Trump was elected on and all republicans must own it!
Regrettably this is precisely representative of todays conservatives.
After all; who do you think put up this billboard?

What I find most disturbing is the entire campaign and agenda of the new Trumpf regime is to turn the clock back, go back in time (where ever that time was) to “make America great again” (like it used to be)..
This is what the Alt-Right wants..

I rigged up this logo just with a Word processor. I used it to ordered a custom baseball cap from vistaprint.
Never in my life have I ever had a penchant for baseball caps. That is about to change.

I see this picture and I KNOW there is more to come. This is only the beginning. Sad but true.

http://www.forfreedoms.org/ is some kind of PAC for artists. They don’t seem to have a political view, but this may have been an attack on Trump and his racists, rather than support.

It’s called satire…
