This imagery is the kind of thing you see in video games to let you know you’re in a totalitarian city or country.

Mussolini/Hitler style!
except it's not video game, welcome n korea, iran, soviet union, etc., to real life in America
This is who you are now, a state diving into authoritarianism. Now, what are you going to do about it?
Or in North Korea
What the fuck. Pull it down. Somebody.
Kind of reminds me of Saddam Hussein and all the pictures banners and stuff they had of him all over Iraq.
One good flaming arrow can take care of that
Each one you tear down/burn gives you access to fast travel to that location + unblurs the map
Someone shoot a flaming arrow to that thing. Burn that ugly mug down.
V for Vendetta vibes
A world with no Trump would be best, but there's a universe where he just walked away after the 1st term and these are banners for him hosting UFC fight nights
"WAR IS PEACE, FREEDOM IS SLAVERY, IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH."
It's the kind of thing you see in Pyongyang or Moscow. It's sickening.
This particular portrait only needs a little black paint. under the nose.
Someone needs to rip that fucking flag off this building. This is not North Korea yet.
I thought it was a scene from V for vendetta at first
What?!🤬This 💩Republican admin is Lying again under a corrupt Felon, bigoted, senile, old 🤡in the WH (who just may be the anti-Christ) who has caused over 100k workers to lose government jobs! He definitely is NOT for American workers first!
All for an audience of one. bsky.app/profile/fact...
Pathetic
Saw this in an earlier post, honestly thought it a joke.....😳
hitler mustache?
please, anyone put horns, or makeup or just deface it any way you see fit
Bionic Commando...
I wish I were only playing the NES game in the city where I work...
Tell this to all the immigrant (legal or not) workers he hired to build his buildings, and then didn't pay them.
Wolfenstein 2025 sucks.
American Workers First (on the breadline).
You're there now.
A long time ago, wasn't there another political party that was hard-right, but pretended to support workers? They put 'socialism' in their name or something? Even though they killed socialists?
Is it a felony to burn that
Big banner. Small man.
I know government workers who watched a co-worker get physically removed from their office after being fired by DOGE. When they are fired they lose all benefits. Families with children,a mortgage,bills they had no way to pay for the duration to find work. Their savings were totally gone .
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
No paint balloons or defacing? Yet?
Trump’s fellow malignant narcissist Mussolini did the same and ended up hanging upside-down from a gas station.
Chavez- DeRemer ass licking at its finest. Great way to represent Labor and waste your tax dollars.
This cannot be tolerated. We’re still a democracy and need to act like one. It needs to be ripped down and let this egomaniac know he WILL NOT defeat the people. We are in charge.
Get his fking face off there. He is scum!!
Why isn't anyone showering this abomination with paint guns? This is insane.
Looks just like China!!
Yup
Fat brother is watching what you post.
Ditto
This is totally a dick’tator’shit move! Third world country style
That and the masked troops...
It’s also his booking photo
How many presidents use their booking photos as their official portrait? How many presidents have had booking photos? Not to mention he looks stupider than ever.
Burn it. Burn it down to the ground.
Trump uses the playbooks of Mussolini (fake assassination attempt), Hitler banners on publicly owned buildings, Putin's election rigging. Check out #Shewon , definitely a puppet dictator for the Heritage Foundation
Can't wait for the pigeons to get to it.
Winter is coming.
Can't wait until the day we remove it all.
It's like a flashback cut scene to before the post-apocalyptic time that tells players that the society had it coming.
It must be so embarrassing to be an American
Bro I think I must have drowned puppies as a hobby in a past life or something to deserve this. It’s not in this photo but that banner is up next to one of Teddy TRUST BUSTER Roosevelt and I just fucking cannot. The humiliation is constant and ever expanding.
Embarrassing, infuriating, and terrifying all at once
If you're one who is paying attention and taking things seriously... absolutely
Anyone got a paint gun?
The Ayatollah Khomeini had his picture similarly plastered all over Iran back in 1980. The backdrop was dissenters hanging from cranes in the city streets. Good times.
Just not the ones Doge fired or are getting laid off because it tariffs
Ditto. First thing I thought when I saw the images of the draped banners.
Paint ball anyone 😉
I remember my parents clutching pearls over those Obama posters because it reminded them too much of Stalin banners or whatever. My my how the turn tables etc
Finally trumps got his BIGLEY, HUGELY, LARGER THAN LIFE LIES broadcast for all to see....
Real Dear Leader shit
Half-life or Wolfenstein?
The emphasis on FIRST doesn't get past me. First what? King? Dictator? First as in the most important citizen? I ask this because I know he doesn't care about the worker.
Disgusting, we hate it.
Gee, I sure hope nobody throws paint balloons at it.
It's amazing that people are going along with this nonsense
The dismantling of our democracy…. By this wannabe dictator
Think they’ll try to make burning these a crime like they’re trying to do with flag burning?
Also the first things to be torn down or toppled to let you know you’re free again
Dictatorship says put your extra large picture on everything ! Trump HATES WORKER’S Unions! He has taken some of the safety rules that protect workers away! He wants to take many of the protections given for children away! Trump thinks kids can work 40 hours a week with no restrictions! 😡😡😡
Isn’t this the mugshot image?
Also, who paid for that nonsense? Can one reporter ask why did taxpayers foot the bill for a pointless and illegal campaign picture on a government building?
Good point! Trump is defacing the WHITE HOUSE! No one has stopped him from paving OVER the beautiful antique ROSE GARDEN! He wants to destroy the EAST WING, and build A KING’S BALLROOM! No president felt the need for a huge addition that will destroy the scale of our, THE PEOPLE’S HOUSE! Stop trump
Wonder when the first statue goes up. You know it's going to happen. Probably already being built.
We are.
Where's my paintball gun...
American Workers, first to go. Thank you for your sacrifice!
Putting it on a brutalist building is a nice touch.
Burn it.
Dictator-in-training
Oh, for just one flamethrower. Sigh.
And in rl for that matter.
made me think of the Hunger Games.
Looks like the Battlefield 6 remake of Propaganda takes place in Washington DC instead of Pyongyang.
😡🤬
Yep all the people who lost their jobs
For real. I giggled but yeah, it's not actually funny. Fuck!
It isn't the mug shot, but it's close. Point is, total authoritarian. Anyone still questioning whether or not we are "sliding" or have actually "tipped"?
People understand this or they don't at this point.
You're right, I just have a hard time accepting that. I have a family member - extremely intelligent and always up on politics - who is still wondering where the "checks and balances" are.
I have a few of those as well. They act like I'm "just being super political" or that I'm just paranoid. I wonder for some if it's just not straight up denial about what is happening.
Disgusting!!!!😖
Its just a fucking fail on so many levels. American workers being squeezed out by Trumps ego seems accurate.
Ive been to DC many times in my life. Even before the national guard takeover, something has felt different since Trump got elected. Even the areas around the national mall just feel tense
No, Trump First. Workers behind the queue & only white male Christians. Endangered economy, put many out of work, made work places more dangerous & unequal & stolen financial & health security & in so many ways, killing workers & their children. First to suffer, first to starve, first to die.
Disgusting fucking Fascists aka Republicans are Treasonous Traitors. Justice is coming for them.
Yup. This is the video game signal that you shouldn’t feel bad about shooting the cops in the game.
The Fuhrer looks extra constipated in that poster
Fraud, waste, and abuse. Violation of government printing policies.
Seems a bit hypocritical don’t you think
It should read "America's worst"
if the BLS shows good numbers from now till Christmas they will be fake as trump $3 dollar bill
This is all you need no game required just trump advertising the fact his cabinet is full of disgusting vile people praising him the king of DISGUSTING pedophiles and useless meat voids that are republican mutants beware you may throw up in your mouth very hard to stomach
Panem in the Hunger Games
Protesters need to recreate banners similar to this one, and burn them in effigy. Trump wants protesters to burn American flag so he can point at them and say: "how unpatriotic the liberals are." Don't take the bare.
Layed off thousands then hung a banner, wow
Two biggest things on this 🤮 poster are Trump’s face and the word “First”. You follow the bread crumbs America. It was never about public service.
Project 2025 wanted to destroy all CIVIL SERVICE JOBS! These jobs had strong unions that protected their working conditions! These unions provided health care and retirement plans! The workers union supported promotion by tenure and education, not because Trump approved them! UNIONS KEEP WORKERS
Until they are not first.
And in Totalitarian countries
Ironic
Isn't now called the Department of Unemployment - sounds more authentic
🏆
I feel like he's watching me.
The only way Americans get their democracy back now is by pulling it out of this guys cold dead hands I'm afraid.
Soon, hopefully. He doesn’t look well at all.
Laughable. He doesn’t like unions, didn’t pay his contractors, and is firing federal workers willy-nilly. His ilk never supports the worker.
Right? Sitting right above a crowd of workers forced out of their jobs, seconds before whatever catastrophe occurs that kicks off the first act
And a collectable mission would be to set them all on fire.
Burn baby burn
Forget about video games... this is what you actually see in totalitarian regime led countries e.g. North Korea.
When I was a kid, this kind of behavior was associated with people like Saddam Hussein. Now, I don't get why Republicans didn't like the guy. He's their type.
Flammable?
What happened to the DON'T TREAD ON ME garbage? Nothing. They want their dear DADDY to make them feel whole. They never had a free thought in their heads. Gabba Gabba One of Us! WE HAVE TO STOP THEM BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE. The only people with guts will be the students and we shut them down.
He doesn’t look anything like that
That looks like Trump's mugshot. #ConvictedFelon #8647
'Welcome to City 17. It's aaaaaa... it's safer here since we deployed organic gunships to fight against littering the pavement with soda cans'
What’s the penalty for burning that flag??
Typo. American businesses first. Workers should submit to their managers. Only the little people pay taxes. I am John Galt.
Kim Dumb Orange Isn’t hiding it anymore…he’s a full-on dictator enabled by a spineless GOP Congress, a broken press, and a corrupt Supreme Court.
The golden statue and mandatory daily worship and praise coming soon.
American workers first? That's a lie Project 2025 and Unions: Pro-corporate policies that would drive up costs, put people out of work, endanger people’s lives, make it tougher for unions and stack the deck in favor of CEOs betterinaunion.org/project-2025
TRUTH ! Trump and Elon with DOGE went after Civil Service Workers because of their strong unions!! They said they were saving money! REALLY? How much money is being wasted on ALLIGATOR ALLEY, on the cost of National Guard in DC! Thats government waste big time!
It is so disappointing that most of America has not turned against this guy by now. These images and his actions so far make it pretty clear he wants the United States to be his North Korea, and Americans are just like haha that cuckoo Trump
Totalitarian states adopted the aesthetic they did to project normalcy and order, and a lot if it is only sinister in retrospect, but the trumpists are starting with the evil imagery on purpose, knowing full well what it means to people and reveling in it.
How has someone not set it on fire yet? Come on people, get to it...
Half life 2 opener vibes
paintball target!!! go get it boys!!!
There’s an achievement involved no doubt. I bet it involves fire.
Paul Verhoeven couldn't write something like this.
As the Nazis said, "Arbeit macht frei (Work Sets You Free)". Its not about keeping good American jobs, its about exploitation and forced labor for poor Americans, minorities and immigrants. We live to serve billionaires at this point
we love city 17, don't we folks. someone asked me if they could repopulate and I said i will eventually allow people to have children, more than you ever have before, but I said first they need to give up the low-ratings Free Man
Came into the thread to find this. “Welcome… to City 17.”
I find this framing a little more insidious
The insidiousness makes it a more accurate depiction of the man.
This photo truly captures how trump feels about American Workers! He says he wants JOBS in America! He never says he wants these jobs to allow unions! He never says he wants OSHA safety rules and regulations!? He never says workers must be paid overtime if they are told they have to work more hours
What a sick joke. This nepo baby union busting scumbag has no fucking clue about the labor movement.
Seems like it would make a great paintball target
Following that Assad/Saddam/Stalin/Banana Republic dictator playbook exactly as written I see
Project 2025 wanted to destroy ALL UNIONS! That plan especially wanted to destroy Civil Service Unions protection!Trump keeps on saying he wants JOBS in America !! He never talks about the work conditions they will have! He never talks about the salaries they will have! He doesn’t care!
I don’t understand why but hasn’t been burned down yet.
And news photos
Somebody’s gonna burn that thing, right? Right???
One more thing to rip down come the revolution
His insecurities need constant approval. Sad. Sadder for us.
@mikedrucker.bsky.social
True
Rat nationalism
JFC
were these banners printed in China? Really want to find out now-
A roman candle aimed just right outa do the trick!
I want to know who paid for this personality cult fascist propaganda.
The irony is palpable . Are they trolling us, or are they this disconnected from reality???
Paint ball people …unite!
And I worry cabinet members will now try to out do one another with more
They will need to compete for largest banner. Not having one on your agency HQ will send a bad signal to trump, that you don't support him 110%.
bsky.app/profile/aunt...
This imagery is the kind of thing you see in places like North Korea.
Trump and ALL GOP should be unemployed.
And imprisoned.
Silver lining: the top border to the left and right of the banner would make a great canvas for anyone with a projector. Maybe something like pre-election Epstein promises on the left, post-inauguration Epstein denials on the right.
We like the creative eye
Honestly, I think scrolling text that alternates between left and right, with exact dates and verbatim quotes, synced to audio clips playing over a loud speaker, would make a very nice video. I think there are enough clips out there for both then and now statements.
Alternatively, a quick and dirty idea is just projecting light on the banner and adding a Hitler 'stache above the upper lip. On second thought, these aren't mutually exclusive ideas either.
Yeah. His support for the US workers is making sure the majority work for generations in factories, with limited education and a secret police force to deport "trouble makers" after stripping them of their citizenship. "Work Makes Free."
and, also, the kind of thing you see when you are actually in a totalitarian country, there's that too
Yeah but it’s gay as aids
That's the first image i thought!!!😅
People should go around and create distractions, then have others rip the banners down.
I wonder how flammable that fabric is. Just an idle speculation on my part.
The Brutalist architecture was prescient
OMG... yup...
How far can a paint ball travel? Just wondering.
Is there no gasoline, are there no matches?
Disgusting and pathetic.
If the sick orange turd lives long enough, he will be tried, convicted, and imprisoned.
Vatican City in the new Indiana Jones, 100%.
Is there a movement to spray it with paint balls?
three man slingshot
Eew
