Propaganda can be very effective when trying to instruct and motivate a population to achieve your goals. Propaganda as art typically
caricatures an opponent in a simple, evil manner, exaggerating their features and focusing on
a potential danger they pose if not defeated, while
written or spoken propaganda casts everything the opponent does in a negative, threatening light. Those working to stop the opponent are portrayed as
patriotic,
hard-working and heroic, motivated to
sacrifice and work until the opponent is defeated.
Propaganda has always been with us and continues today, whether subtly included in Advertising and Marketing, revealed as electronic Censorship by Government and Social Media, or incorporated into memes, text messages, and “News” by the Liberal Press and anyone trying to advance an agenda.
And I thought: What if World War II and Cold War Propaganda posters were reimagined for today’s topics? What would they look like?

KAMALA FLIP-FLOPPED!

(click here to see the original 1942 poster)
There’s been lots of internet activity about the presumed Democrat nominee for president, Kamala Harris, is trying to reach undecided voters by changing her mind on her past positions or promises.
A total ban on fracking? I meant I DON’T support a total ban, so I can win the state of Pennsylvania!
Ending private health insurance by requiring “Medicare for All“? C’mon man, I was just thinking out loud, that’s all!
Indian heritage? Nope, I’m black, so all blacks should vote for me!
Mandatory buyback of guns? Did I say that? I just want more gun control, that’s all!
Decriminalize illegal border crossing? Who said I said that, I just want to control the border!
Some call this “pandering for votes“, but it’s more fun to call it “flip-flopping“. Fun, of course, unless Kamala Harris is selected president and actually does ban fracking, order gun buybacks, doesn’t punish illegal aliens, and other Progressive policies advanced by Democrats: Then Americans could be drowning in higher energy prices, increased violence, and more Government intrusion.
Background: My poster was modified from a WWII government poster drawn by Frederick “Fritz” Siebel, printed by the US Government Printing Office, and released by the US Office of War Information in 1942. The poster shows a sailor in the water after abandoning ship presumably struck and sunk by an enemy submarine’s torpedo. Click the poster to enlarge it, or click here.
