One of the biggest propagandists of the 2008 election in America was an artist named Shepard Fairey. (Don't laugh, that's a real name.) If you aren't sure, or maybe have forgotten, who Fairey is, he is the artist behind the Obama 'Hope' poster. You remember the one:

The poster was widely mocked at the time -- and has become more of a meme than anything else over the past 16 years, but whatever you want to say about it (it looks like it's supposed to be viewed with 3-D glasses to us), you can't argue that it was an effective piece of agitprop at the time. 

Whether it may have helped Obama or not, one thing is sure: it helped Fairey's career tremendously. He has made new variations on this theme for everyone from Ruth Bader Ginsberg to Joe Biden (no, seriously, Joe Biden). 

With the 2024 election just a few months away, Fairey must have decided it was time to try to cash in again. Last night, he debuted a new poster for Kamala Harris. It's basically the same derivative concept, but instead of 'Hope,' this one reads 'Forward.' Take a look:  

LOL. And they say that Trump supporters are in a cult. 

But we love how Fairey describes his thought process behind developing pretty much the same poster he did 16 years ago. It's about fighting 'fascism' and 'threats to democracy.'

SBlah, blah, blah. Spare us, please. 

Here is the rest of his tweet that accompanied the poster debut: 

Politics is messy... but messy is no excuse for checking out. Messy is the work and the work can be joyful. Messy is what it takes to get through the daunting mess in pursuit of a better future. But we only win if we show up. FULL STATEMENT: https://obeygiant.com/kamala-harris-forward/

Yeah, we won't be reading that full statement, thank you very much, Leni Riefenstahl.

But it's good to hear that you are so 'joyful.' (We swear to God, if any leftist ever showed an ounce of original thinking, we might die from shock.)

Unfortunately for Fairey, the only problem with trying to repeat the same propaganda twice is that now, almost a generation later, people are on to him ... and on to Harris. 

The poster does bear a certain resemblance to Lenin staring off into the future of price controls, bread lines, and mass murder, doesn't it? 

Oh, snap. (Hey, Col. Schlichter said it, not us.)

Marxist idolatry, to be more precise.

Hey, that's a good question. Is Fairey trying to whitewash Harris's race (whatever that race may be on any given day)? 

Obama may have been a horrible President who is still trying to 'fundamentally transform America,' but at least he had a message, speaking talent, and a functioning brain. 

We don't think it's going to work again with Harris and her eloquent speeches about 'the passage of time.' 

Oh, we forgot about that. Not only is Harris stealing many of her ideas this year from Donald Trump and J.D. Vance, but her apparatchiks are also copying Obama's second campaign slogan. 

We want to give Fairey a Bart Simpson award at least for trying to copy himself and manufacture a completely fabricated energy behind Harris. 


The best part about Fairey's new/old poster though was the opportunity it gave Twitter to mock it. 

And mock it Twitter did. 

We can't believe there are still ignorant Americans who love to wear the t-shirt of a murderous Marxist, but that's the left for you.

The echoes of Mao's Cultural Revolution run strong in the Harris campaign. 

Yikes. This reminds of of Captain Quint's famous speech about sharks from Jaws: 'Lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eye...'

LOL. Yes, we agree. That one is much better. 

That one is both better and more accurate for Harris and her planned policies. 

HAHAHAHA. 

Eep. Okay, moving on ... 

Man, Twitter was relentless. We imagine people are tired of the relentless gaslighting.

That one is perfect. Chef's kiss. 

How about one more Communist parallel? 

There it is. 

We should also remember that 'Hope' and 'Forward' aren't Fairey's only ideas. He also created this one: 

Accurate on both counts. 

We're sure these posters will be all over Chicago next week for the DNC. But we're equally sure that, this time around, they won't affect anyone who wasn't already 100 percent a Kamala Harris voter. 

But Shepard Fairey will at least be able to market his propaganda to them. We wonder if he will hypocritically charge people for the reprints.
