"Follow the Leader to the End of our Freedom and Democracy" confronts the escalating threats to our democratic system and lays bare the dangers posed by unchecked power. This piece comes from a place of deep concern about the current trajectory we’re on—it's meant to be both a cautionary message and a call to action.
At the front of this authoritarian march is Donald Trump, leading a cast of figures that represent the destructive forces unraveling the values this country was founded on. Behind him, a male Supreme Court justice clutches a Constitution that's been twisted into "Me the People," a clear sign of how power is being concentrated in the hands of the few, undermining the rights of the many. Elon Musk follows, holding a briefcase stuffed with money and Bitcoin in one hand, and the X logo in the other, representing corporate greed and the commodification of public spaces that are threatening to destroy our future. Behind him is a torch-wielding Charlottesville marcher, a figurehead of the white supremacist resurgence we’ve seen in recent years. A conservative, anti-abortion evangelical raises a Bible, turning faith into a weapon of control instead of a source of compassion. And finally, a militia member, face hidden behind a bandana and gripping an AK-47, captures the violent extremism that’s bleeding into our political landscape.
This poster marks a time when the future of democracy is in peril—when the values that once defined us are being stripped away by those seeking power and control. It stands as a reflection of this critical moment in history, one where our choices will determine whether we protect our freedoms or allow them to be eroded.
This election is pivotal. It’s a choice between continuing down this destructive path or reclaiming the values of justice and equality that define a truly free society. I’m urging you to vote for leaders who will defend democracy and fight for justice for all. This moment is about more than just policies—it’s about the survival of our democratic ideals. If we remain passive, the march toward the end of our freedom and democracy will only accelerate. The power to stop it is in our hands.
