@zero_gravitas "Trumpet of Patriots" LOLOLOL
The Yellow Shit Stain party is trying to be Orange.
@quokka1@mastodon.au Lion go 'doot doot'
That's 100% AI generated
Absolutely. Some of those fucked-up stars look like maple or cannabis leaves 😆 It's not like Palmer couldn't have afforded an illustrator, either. Right-wing boomers just love AI garbage for some reason.
Oh, and as a bonus, the Latin is wrong 😆
You can’t trust an illustrator, as most people who can draw are commies. Which is why AI exists: so right-wing people can get art made without paying some dirty hippie who believes in equality and human rights.
Thought it read "Honor Obama" and was a bit confused for a moment.
LOL. Clive saw Trump win and ordered his people to lean into identifying as closely with that as they can get away with legally. It’s like scammy electric-car startups a few years ago choosing names that sounded as reminiscent of Tesla as possible (Nikola, Faraday Future) without actually infringing on any trademarks.
The problem of that the plausibly-deniable reading of his new party name, with its Biblical-apocalyptic imagery and emphatic pledge-of-allegiance patriotism, comes across as exceedingly American, to the point where most undecided Australians would take one look and say “yeah, nah”.
