10. I think that's the point.

The pictures resonate with boomers because they remind us of childhood, learning to read, playing with our friends, having fun and feeling carefree. I don't know if these types of illustrations resonate with younger people. (I'm guessing that the RNC's focus groups say yes.)

The racism is vile.

11. I'm a boomer and I'm not getting any resonating from them at all.

I think they're stupid and offensive.

13. They're stupid and offensive to us because we see through it.

Imagine you're a white suburban boomer who secretly (or not so secretly) wishes that Black people weren't allowed in white spaces. These illustrations press all the buttons.

Actually, Tubby, America never went anywhere.
You're just committed crimes and made it harder for Americans to live, but we're still here. And we'll let you know in a few months.

7. Little boys playing in the street, little girls running across a fairground, no adults watching.

9. Little *white* boys and girls. Not a minority person in sight. Stephen Miller's paradise.

8. Now you know what they meant

when they said 'take America back.' Before it was replaced with the not as subtle as they THINK, 'make America great again.'

It meant the same damn thing. THEY always knew it, even if some of us didn't. And that was just for starters.

Wait until Trump's SC (and C THOMas) convolute law, logic and rationale enough (AGAIN) to let them decide who ISN'T a citizen - just like they did with the Voting Rights Act.

All a part of their end game. So don't be surprised when it happens.
