The video in the article, depicting a random white guys reaction to seeing the statue

“It made me scared to come to work, because what if I get shot or get noosed up just because of the way I look. And I don’t know why the election at home should have to affect people so badly”

Bitch, your party’s entire identity is based around attacking minority communities based on skin color, immigration status, and gender/sexual identity. Now that you’re being recognized as the literal piece of shit you are, NOW you want to scale back the rhetoric? Go fuck yourself.

Also why does seeing your bitch emperor with no clothes make you scared of bodily harm? This dude sees himself in that depiction, identifies with the vile racist rapist on display and thinks “what if that happened to me?” And I gotta think, yeah, that’s the point of the depiction. Your blind hateful positions only serve to expose you as the pathetic pasty parasite you are. Self-reflect and change or you’ll continue to be seen as a hypocritical bigot who’s self worth is based entirely upon the racist/misogynistic idea that because you’re a cis white man you’re better than everyone else. Fuck off you ignorant bitch.

“I didn’t know what it was at first,” Jason said. “I don’t know why the election should have to affect people at home so badly…seemed like nobody gave a dang.”

Golly, shucks, nobody gave a dang-diddly.

I don’t know why the election should have to affect trans people at home so badly… Gee wilickers.

Stfu, you racist fascist fuck.

Yeah, it’s a statement that is spoken from a position of extreme privilege. Being able to “not care” about politics means politics has never directly impacted your day to day life, your health, your wellbeing…

Or anyone else around you, including the people you care about. It’s an extremely selfish way of thinking.

This is the important bit. Everything they to hurts themselves to no end, but as long as it hurts someone not like them more they’ll never even notice.

The Nevada Republican Party “strongly” condemned the installation, saying that families driving through Vegas would be “forced to view this offensive marionette, designed intentionally for shock value rather than meaningful dialogue.”

Because conservatives are well known for meaningful dialogue and decorum.

This is the most accurate description I’ve ever heard of the original.

That interview was something else. The guy said the statue made him scared of being being shot or “noosed up” because of how he looked (white).

Fox News truly has turned these people’s brains to mush.

I mean, intentional or not, I think the statue does invoke imagery of a hanged man if you squint a bit. It certainly wouldn’t have been my first thought, though, so you’re probably right that projection also plays a part.

Does anyone remember that ‘prolife’(antichoice) statue someone did of a nude Britney Spears giving birth on all fours? It happened around 2006-ish.

https://artdaily.cc/news/15725/Spears-Dumbfounded-with-Sculpture-of-Her-Giving-Birth

So it’s okay to objectify a pop singer for right wing purposes(Britney’s reaction to the piece was level headed btw) but a nude Donald Trump is too much?

I guess they only like art if it’s propaganda they can jerk off to.
