This is a really good reference to classical Roman mythology. Something that the US government usually appreciates.

It’s a reference to Goya a Spanish painter.we don’t really know if this painting was about chronos, that’s a theory.

Huh, neat. I tend to believe it is anyways with that previous sketch and simply belonging to under the umbrella of Romanticism but there’s some solid points there against it.

Trump wouldn’t eat the flag, he’d use it to wipe his shit
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
why do you think he’s eating it?

Nah, he uses the constitution for that.

Only if it’s a gilded flag.
LillyPip@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
On the other hand, he’s well known for eating things he wants to hide. He eats notes after meetings.
I would be surprised if he hasn’t had someone redesign the US flag for him, based on his ‘vision’. So eating the flag to hide it is totally on brand.

art is lies that reveal the truth
-some artist
adj16@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Maybe you’re thinking Alan Moore in V for Vendetta?
Artists use lies to tell the truth, while politicians use them to cover the truth up.
JacksonLamb@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Definitely didn’t originate with Alan Moore. I’ve seen it attributed to Pablo Picasso but I think the first is probably Aristotle.
OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Damn don’t do Cronos like that
DrSoap@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Who painted this? I want to buy this painting.

Quite likely their initials are A.I.
samus12345@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
Indeed they are.
DemandtheOxfordComma@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
I’m sure there are quite a few people that would love to see him choke on a flag.
TrickDacy@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I think a lot of alcohol poisonings will happen on the day he dies.
MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Another, yes.
I’ve turned into a bit of a whiskey maniac since my visit to Ireland last March and enjoyed it more than I thought.
MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Yes
Goodmorningsunshine@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I’d watch that Seven death a lot.

Fuck AI. Fuck Trump. Fucking love Fransisco de Goya.

Good one. Not that I can do any better, but would it make more sense to put the statue of liberty there to better reflect the original inspiration?
samus12345@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
dan1101@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I would have Trump raping the Statue of Liberty for both the truth and shock value.

If we ever have another elected president, I hope that one of their first acts after undoing literally everything that the orange menace has done is to replace every picture of trump in any government building with this.
Liz@midwest.social 2 weeks ago
Gonna need fundamental change to make the president less powerful and make it so that no one party ever holds a majority in Congress ever again. The first would follow the second, so we should be pushing for something like Sequential Proportional Approval Voting for every legislature we got.

Start with reforming the ways your elections are held. To the rest of the world it seems like a 250 years old system to keep those with money in power. I thought the american revolution was held to get lost of a king and his henchmen?

Not a fan of SPAV, in part for the same reasons I’m not a fan of STAR:
- It doesn’t eliminate strategic voting. For example, imagine you support two candidates for a multi-seat election. Under straight AV you vote for both of them because there’s literally no incentive to do otherwise. Under SPAV, you might decide that since one of those candidates is much more popular and thus a foregone conclusion to win that you should avoid voting for them so the value of your vote for the other isn’t reduced. Too many doing this can cause negative effects, like strategic voting in other methods.
- You can’t tell me how my vote will actually be counted until every other vote is counted, because how the ballot will be measured in the end depends on every other ballot as depending on how everyone else voted your votes for some candidates may be worth less than your votes for other candidates. Straight AV doesn’t have this problem, your vote is exactly what is says on the ballot and is counted exactly as it is on the ballot. The extra math also makes it more complicated to explain to voters en masse, which is a problem with other systems that have transferable votes.
I get that the goal is apparently to make every state elect a split legislature/congressmen by making so that if any seats are even vaguely competitive the parties will essentially be forced to take turns.

Is there an artist or is this AI?
Madison420@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Ai, it’s a parody of a famous painting “Saturn devouring his son”.
Almacca@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
I’m actually grateful that it is. I’d hate to think a human spent time on this. Imagine the psychological damage.

Need one of all of the Dems crying “peaceful protests only” as they let him.

Fascist devouring his nation’s flag vs. the fresh water devoured by the machine you used to generate this slop
state_electrician@discuss.tchncs.de 2 weeks ago
This is based on Goya’s famous painting “Saturn Devouring His Son”, if anyone was wondering.

One of my favorites. I wish we knew if that’s really what he intended to depict - people just guessed.
NielsBohron@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I dunno, I think that’s part of the magic of the Black Paintings. To me, what makes them truly unsettling (in the best way) is the fact that he painted them exclusively for his own desire and that we’re limited to guessing the subject matter (which, although ambiguous, was undoubtedly dark).
vala@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Yeah he didn’t even actually name this painting. We really don’t know who the subjects are for sure.
vala@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Imo in this original painting Saturn is horrified either to be doing this at all, or to be seen doing it.
So I don’t think the poetry transfers to trump here.
I know this is shit posts but we’re also discussing high art so…
samus12345@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
It’s hard to say for sure. I always interpreted his expression as maniacal rather than horrified.
M137@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
But why did you post a weirdly cropped version? I just don’t see how that happened.
Here’s the uncropped, original framing:

state_electrician@discuss.tchncs.de 2 weeks ago
Actually, no idea. I could’ve sworn the version I copied wasn’t cropped.
