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 posewritten 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?


Presenting the Sixth in a Series of
Vintage 2024 Election Season Propaganda Posters


“It CAN Happen Here (Destruction)”
Destruction? It CAN Happen Here!

Today Republican voters in South Carolina are going to the polls to select who will be their candidate in the 2024 Presidential Election. Traditionally it’s an important election primary: Since 1980 the only winner who didn’t go on to receive the Republican Party’s nomination for presidential candidate was Newt Gingrich in 2012 (it went to Mitt Romney, who eventually lost to Barack Hussein Obama). Donald J. Trump is expected to win South Carolina with the same ease as his victories in Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, and the US Virgin Islands, and has promised to fix the damage done by Joe Biden and his Progressive Democrats during Biden’s presidency.

And the Democrats have done quite a bit of damage: Wars erupting across the world as Foreign Adversaries see Biden as weak; crushing inflation destroying America’s Middle Class; a DEI Agenda that treats Conservatives, Christians, and Caucasians as second-class citizens; parents deemed “Domestic Terrorists” for protecting their children from the “Woke” Left; a weaponized Justice System punishing enemies of the Democrats; an open border allowing millions of illegal aliens to pour into the USA and rob resources from taxpayers, and more.

In light of all this damage my poster could be “Too Little, Too Late” – perhaps I should have written “It DID Happen Here”.


It Can Happen Here!Background: My poster was modified from one created and published in 1942 by the Oldsmobile Division of General Motors, with the original poster warning that America’s enemies could destroy the United States unless citizens continued to supply weapons and ammunition to American’s military forces.
