Conservative artist Jon McNaugton's paintings are getting progressively weirder and weirder.

(The following are all real. McNaugton actually painted these. I'm not making any of these up. Well, the paintings themselves, at least. No comment on the titles.)

Here's his most recent painting, which apparently is titled "Donald Trump, A Man Who Mistakes a Former FBI Director for an Ant Who He Can Burn With a Magnifying Glass":



This follows up his previous work, "Donald Trump Wandering Onto the 50 Yard Line of the New Orleans Superdome Clutching His Favorite American Flag Blankie After Having a Particularly Bad Nightmare":



And that was of course a follow up work to this painting, aptly named "A Live Look Into Andrew Breitbart As He Currently Burns In Hell":

The "imagery" is absolute amateur shit. It's no better than schlock that depicts a matador-on-black-velvet, or a New England barn in winter, or even a fluffy kitten in a stocking.

The guy is very consistent. His paintings are hyper-romantic fantasies showing white men rescuing America. In essence, white males equal America equal Jesus in this mythology.

It's the white man's burden. Note that people of color are shown standing in awe and gratitude as the powerful, kind white men rescue the children.

More than any words can, these images reveal what goes on in the "mind" of a blind fascist, what makes them flush with false pride.

Are they simplistic, mawkish, embarrassing, and maddening at the same time? OF COURSE, they're overtly white nationalistic fascist pieces of crap. Which is EXACTLY why they need to be seen.

Look away or trash the thread if they feel too offensive. But know there is value in understanding the enemy's weaknesses. And these images are a blueprint to the sickness we're up against.

Flake white has lead in it, and some others contain cadmium, cobalt, or mercurial sulfides; and turpentine isn't good for you either. There can be neurological effects. I do hope Mr. McNaughton hasn't been shaping his brushes to a point by licking them.
