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?

On Friday, April 20, 2024, Congressman Bennie Thompson introduced H.R. 8081: The DISGRACED Former Protectees Act, a bill which removes Secret Service protection for former President Trump.
“The protection authorized in paragraphs (1) through (8) [of 18 U.S. Code § 3056] shall terminate for any person upon sentencing following conviction for a Federal or State offense that is punishable for a term of imprisonment of at least one year.”
Democrat Rep. Thompson is a person of color who represents Mississippi and was the Chairman of the January 6th Committee responsible for hunting down, arresting, imprisoning and convicting hundreds of citizens who exercised their First Amendment Rights at our Nation’s Capitol.
It’s the same committee which apparently falsely claimed Trump never asked for 10,000 troops to protect Washington D.C. on January 6, 2021, heard false testimony that Trump lunged for the steering wheel of his presidential SUV, attempted to withhold evidence, and failed to properly preserve records of their investigations. The same committee who’s members are now concerned President Trump will throw them in jail if he’s re-elected.
And this raises an interesting question: If President Trump is found guilty of a crime punishable by a prison term of at least one year but is given probation or sentenced to time served instead of being sentenced to a year or more of prison time does he still lose his Secret Service protection? Rep. Thompson’s proposed legislation only covers offenses which could result in prison time, not a guilty verdict which does result in actual prison time.
Now, just because Trump is being prosecuted by a Democrat Prosecutor working for a Democrat Attorney General in a courtroom presided by a Democrat Judge in a predominantly Democrat Jurisdiction located in a mostly Democrat city governed by a Democrat Mayor within a state governed by a Democrat Governor doesn’t mean he’ll be found guilty by a (presumably) mostly Democrat Jury. But if my question is true, Trump could be found guilty, not given prison time, and then be denied Secret Service protection throughout his entire 2024 Presidential Campaign.
It’s something Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has already been denied five times, and the only “crime” Kennedy has been found “guilty” of is being a 2024 campaign opponent of Democrat Joe Biden.
Did you Know?
DISGRACED stands for “Denying Infinite Security and Government Resources Allocated toward Convicted and Extremely Dishonorable”. Maybe Rep. Thompson was too busy trying to come up a phrase that made a clever acronym to put a noun at the end of it.
Background: My poster was modified from a minimalist poster created by artist Adam Asar based on the 2014 Clint Eastwood movie “American Sniper“, with the original poster showing a targeting sight focused on a soldier.
