One journalist called it “absolutely insane Nazi propaganda, posted by the US government.”

The Trump administration provoked horror this week with the suggestion that the United States could be turned into a paradise if over a quarter of the people in the country were deported.

On Wednesday, the official social media account for the Department of Homeland Security posted a piece of artwork depicting a pink late-1960s Cadillac Eldorado parked on a bright, idyllic beach. Over the clear blue sky are the words “America after 100 million deportations.”

It is hardly the first time the administration has used edgy and inflammatory social media posts to promote its agenda. But DHS has come under particular scrutiny for its style of communication, which often evokes white nationalist rhetoric and symbolism.

    Well, thank goodness we avoided the neoliberal/shitlib Kamala being in office. It was such a close call - it was obviously a clear moral choice for the Morally Elevated Beings. It was a choice between “genocide” and…this.

    Oh wait, what’s that? The genocide is going on completely unabated, you say?

    Well, something something argle bargle all of America somehow “deserves” this for…reasons.
