(121,395 posts)being expelled from the Garden of Eden by an angel with a flaming sword. The "art" is seriously fucked up and so is the theology. Adam and Eve (Biden and Harris) sinned by eating an apple from the tree of knowledge, which in MAGA world would be a bad thing, so the angel (Trump) expels them from Eden (the White House) because they knew too much?
Uh huh.

(121,395 posts)Take the piece-de-la-resistance, the one before which Bernie Kerik posed: The Expulsion from the White House.
....In another Ruseva masterpiece, Trumps divinity is more explicit. Inspired by Michelangelos The Creation of Adam, she portrays Trump as an astronaut reaching out his finger of god to a green alien. It is titled Star Peace. Trump is no mere tribune of the American electorate. He is a deity with a divine right to the Oval Office and to the galaxy.
Ruseva, an aspiring muralist, takes that approach to the canvas, resulting in a vaguely defined landscape and human subjects who are either the victims of pituitary dysfunction or misplaced satire.

(121,395 posts)Lena Ruseva is a terrible artist, just apart from her politics. Sadly, the cult seems to love her very, very bad art. Even John McNaughton, the Thomas Kincaid of MAGA art, has better technique.

(102,683 posts)(See the talkingpointsmemo.com link above). Do you really need to waste someone's time reading your report?
Damn right they shouldn't "take it down". It's just an example of Republicans being weird, and I don't want the FBI interfering with DU laughing at them.
BlueKota
(3,720 posts)checking off pre-written one sentence reasons for reporting. Also pretty sure it's AI controlled now. So thanks for your concern about wasting employees time.
Also it's age makes no difference. It still suggests Trump has a divine right to chase the duly elected President and VP out of the WH with violence.
For clarification I reported it to Facebook not the FBI.
muriel_volestrangler
(102,683 posts)Have you reported this thread to DU? Please don't, but your logic dictates you should have.
Suggesting anyone has a divine right does not belong in the realm of reality (and neither, of course, does Trump being a winged angel). It's a waste of time complaining about fantasy. Plus, the biblical reference is not about an angel chasing someone with violence. The angel is a guard for Eden, and they didn't chase Adam and Eve.

(102,683 posts)then surely it's just as hateful to you being here as on Facebook. Have you alerted on it here? Have you alerted on the articles about it from 2021? There's a link to one above. I mean, if you think this is something illegal, you must be fuming at seeing it on DU.
Or maybe, just maybe, it's just stupid RW crap, and no more "incitement to violence" than the movie "Air Force One" was.

(958 posts)Ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous.
The subject matter is ludicrous. Also, as an artist myself, I am offended by the horrible anatomy. In art school, we focused on drawing and painting nude models and learning correct anatomy so that our portraits would actually resemble real human beings.
This artist woefully lacks skill. I don't know whether to laugh or to throw up. I think I'll do both.

I would never show that to anyone - it's embarrassingly bad. It's cultish fan propaganda art by someone who's not very good.
