Gahhhh! That image is flat-out horrifying! Horror movie mavens could not do better. The woman apparently in the process of delivering a footling breech baby onto the man’s shoulder, the apparently dead child, just oh, hell. NO!

Oh, you clearly have issues with traditional values, don’t you.

Personally, I welcome our new Swedish mutant MAGA overlords. Liberals just don’t want us all to enjoy the stimulating effects of radiation and the rich variety of supernumerary limbs that it promises.

Finally, America as envisioned by the Founder.

A few years ago a British far-right group was caught using Nazi art as a vision of traditional English rural life. I suppose that with AI to conjure up idealised white families they don’t need to do that anymore.

Idealised? Barefoot (the man on the front with one Hobbit foot too!) horrors with extra or vestigial limbs. The boy beside the eyeless horror, the four on the front left sharing seven legs, often with one that would match their neighbours emerging from who knows what horrors their trousers hide?

I know, but as @beschizza said

I reject this image because it’s not “traditional” enough. At least two of the men shown are not blond, and the child in front, if not dead, might be handicapped. This isn’t true MAGA 'Murica.

People are being terribly cruel about this candid photograph taken at the Innsmouth Republican Party.

If this is real it’s the MAGA version of They Live (the original being the Reaganite version).

Particularly admire the one limb from out some oubliette in the lower left begging for alms or perhaps just ‘kill me please’

I didn’t know the Republican party was getting inspiration from Neill Blomkamp.

There’s nothing wrong with that picture that a Norman Rockwell Thanksgiving 3-legged turkey can’t fix.

Pass the cranberry salt-shaker stuffing please… Bobby stop eating your fork.

Kidding, sure, but… traditional values like decades of inbreeding? blink

Please remember that Dread Lord Cthulhu, may his slumbers never cease, is an Independent. While some of his old-school conservative views are controversial (human sacrifice, changing the stars back until ‘they’re right,’ etc.) he is an egalitarian, firm in his belief that all are equal in His eyes, all 2,348 of them. He is non-binary, though adamantly insists on a He/Him set of pronouns despite more . . . appropriate ones being available. And, while His followers do have a conservative bias, the Greater Innsmouth Metropolitian Area voting statistics, much like the rest of the country, makes Innsmouth County a deep purple region, with many of the less well-off inhabitants relying on state and federal assistance, subsidized housing, and/or Medicaid/Medicare assistance for extraneous gill removal, hydrotherapy and other “transition” complications.

Please remember that Piscine-Americans are, first and foremost, Americans, and like most Americans in these troubling times are concerned with the threats to democracy as well as the continuation of their rather traditional lifestyle of reef-diving, fishing, and refining gold from the eldritch ruins of an ancient drowned civilization.

Despite his long-standing quest for office, the High-Priest and campaign manager of the Drowned Dreamer has announced that, as in 2020, Cthulhu will not be running for President in 2024, mostly over concerns that his presence on the ballot might split the vote.

So, when you vote in this upcoming election, vote for the lesser of two evils, confident that the greatest evil of them all approves and is, patiently, waiting for the stars to be right before throwing his hat into the political ring again.

Wow… that is some Eldritch horror bullshit, right there.
