Why do they always make Trump look thinner, more fit, and younger than he actually is? I feel like the majority of these artists are very deeply closeted men
That’s not fair. Just because an artist draws homoerotic looking fascists doesn’t mean he’s closeted.
It means his target audience is.
Know your audience, folks. You’ll make more money that way.
I don’t think this is the original painting, I think the original one depicts several US presidents around the table (including Nixon, Roosevelt, Kennedy and Obama, the last two who in actuality probably wouldn’t want to sit as the same table as Trump).
The artist said that it was a “feel-good” painting anyway, and everyone appeared healthier, younger, more beautiful… Yes, even Nixon.
Yeah you’re right, original:
Where’s Obama?
It’s only republicans
That explains why I thought I was looking at the back of Lincoln’s head
Nixon had a beautiful republican body - flabby and pasty.
Oh God whose idea of feel good is this?
Don’t you know that he’s only 215 lbs.
Absolutely no one at that table would be a good tipper.
That table looks like a huge pain in the ass for no tip
Oh they will give you tips. Tips on how to be a douchebag.

Yuck.

I recognize the three sitting at the table facing us and Joe Rogan. Who is everybody else?
from left to right:
Standing:
- Jordan Peterson: Psychologist, Cries a lot about fictional authoritarianism, hates trans people, drug addict
- David Goggins: motivational speaker, right wing grifter
- Andrew Tate’s brother (… Dave Tate? or whatever the fuck. Who cares)
Table:
- Ben Shapiro: speaks fast and uses red herrings, so people think he’s smart
- Elon Musk: man-child billionaire who radicalized himself, because people refused to laugh at his stolen meme-retweets
- Andrew Tate: self-help guru, human trafficer
- Not sure who this guy is, but he did everything right and they indicted him
- Joe Rogan: Podcaster and conspiracy theorist who fell deep into the right wing echo chamber by surrounding himself with right wingers who tell him what he wants to hear (hates Trump as far as I’m aware. Not sure why he’d sit at a table with him)
And the person sitting in front is probably Lincoln
I don’t know why the artist would depict Lincoln in hell, seems undeserved.
Lincoln said blacks would never be equal to whites, that he’d rather ship blacks back to Africa, and so on. Bottom line freeing slaves was more about northern whites not wanting blacks in their back yard anymore and the north couldn’t compete economically with slave labor.
Yeah, Lincoln wasn’t the completely perfect hero he’s portrayed to be.
But the artist I imagine doesn’t know that and is trying to say the others are as good as Lincoln maybe? Just a guess.
Never heard this before, do you have a source?
Here are the books, when I make notes I don’t keep track of where out of the book I got it and unless I’m reading business books I don’t keep which book I got it from since I’m just reading for me. But I tried to put them in order of where it mostly came from to least came from.

Thank you! I like reading about history that I didn’t learn in school, and there’s a lot of it.
I’d love to hear what you think as you read through some of this. Only a few people I know have read all of these and I often wonder if the conclusions I’ve come to even make sense.
You may also want to know about John Brown if you are interested in that time period.
Yes. I’ll come back to this when I’m not working and do a new reply with them. Bottom line it’ll be several books.
I feel like the first one I read some of this in was "Lies My Teacher Told Me " by James W. Loewen.
I’ll look through my resources later, maybe later today or this weekend. I know it’s a pain but it’s a lot of books to go through and I don’t really catalog them well for questions like this but I’m happy to share!
Cool, thank you
I feel like the first one I read some of this in was "Lies My Teacher Told Me " by James W. Loewen.
Not really challenging the statement, but I wonder where the line should be. Like it is easy to tell kids myths about the founding fathers and other people in history, and I suppose it does make for a good starting point for someone who does not have much context around anything, and still developing their brain. At some point people just want to hold on to those myths rather than learn the context or nuance of what actually happened.
Fair point. I’m no judge for what is right for others. I’m not even sure what I’ve decided is right for me is right. I do have a problem when the past has been glossed over the make terrible actions seem not so.
I’m reading The Nutmeg’s Curse right now and I’m wondering how many Dutch people know their countrymen slaughtered a people and successfully committed genocide in the 1600s?
…north couldn’t compete economically with slave labor.
That was like, the whole reason the Union won though. People just can’t compete with machines when it comes to production. Combine that with an effective blockade, and the Confederate states could neither build or receive the means to wage a war.

The resources disagree for sure, I’m not an expert enough to say which is right. The primary purpose for my comment was to help show that plenty of resources show that the North didn’t do this to be altruistic. Like most things it’s more complicated than that.
I would agree that the Union states did not engage in warfare due to altruism. I don’t think any country starts a war with another to make things better there. The idea that the southern states had a stronger economy is simply not true. It sounded like some “War of Northern aggression/Lost cause” DoC propaganda. I wasn’t sure, but I figured I better speak up.
I appreciate your input, one article isn’t enough to convince me just like one book isn’t. But you’ve opened up a train of thought I’ll want to explore further for sure.
Well, you see, he’s also a Republican and would definitely agree with this table of garbage people
Republicans were the liberal party when Lincoln was President
Yes, I know. Is joke!
Joe Rogan to Lincoln, “Hey man, do you think the South would have won if they used gorillas? Have you ever seen one, they’re fucking stacked man.”
- Jordan Peterson: Psychologist, Cries a lot about fictional authoritarianism, hates trans people, drug addict, dreams about sex with his own grandmother
You left out the best thing :-D
Jordan Peterson
LOLZ
thought that was a poorly drawn Mitt Romney
I was going for Epstein.
David Goggins: motivational speaker, right wing grifter
Oh wtf, when did that happen? I thought he was just a fitness guy
a lot of the Fitness World is interconnected with the ring wing. Especially things like crossfit are pretty much only right wingers. MTG is also a big crossfit person
I have listened to 2 entire audiobooks from him, listened to podcasts and never heard a bleep of what you are implying.
I think he is still firefighting in Canada. I dont think he has much to do with Fitness the way you think he does. Neither does he do fittness related content.
He never says anything political, really. They’re being unfair describing him as that.
I don’t know about this, I think the crossover is mostly that the fitness industry is also a gift. So there’s maybe an overlap there. But fitness isn’t right-wing.
not Fitness itself, but Fitness ‘influencers’
Thank you!
I think the guy at the front is RooshV, pickup artist creep and manly man’s man

A bunch of fuckin douche bags.
The ones on the left, if those are supposed to be Jordan Petersen and Ben Shapiro, artistic licence has been applied liberally.
Same. I also seem to recognise Lincoln in the middle, but I’m reasonably confident that’s not actually him.

You know you aint getting a tip at that table
Donald Trump ain’t paying his share so they will be there a while.
Wouldn’t have figured Rogan for a wine guy, let alone what looks like a light-bodied and possibly chilled red
Before or after the flaming meteor crashes through the ceiling?
David Goggins is definitely unfairly included in this.
Shows how much thought went into it.
Is that Louis j Gomez?
I’ve never waited tables but no matter who the people are, why would anyone pick that? I assume the best scenario is that you hear snippets of mundane conversation. Worst scenario is you end up realizing your hero is a dick or an idiot.
