It's 2028; Trump has lost his bid for re-re-election. America has somehow held together as a single nation and succeeded in electing a new leader.

You've been tasked with designing and creating a sculpture/statue/art piece to commemorate the ordeal America has just survived.

What do you do/create?

Text/drawn art prefered, but you can post AI art if you really want. LMK if I'm posting this in the wrong place; happy to move it if I've picked wrong.

how about a memorial to the dead and disappeared

[–] TheAlbatross@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 2 days ago

That's really the only right answer.

ICE is kidnapping people off the street and taking them to who knows where. Never again is right now and apparently we didn't do a good enough job reminding people of what that means and how we got here. Any statue should serve to try and once again warn future generations of how to prevent these horrors.

Just a regular statue, but it's on a hinged platform so it can be a tourist attraction where you can line up to tear it down (and it resets for the next person).

It's a free attraction, but there is a donation box with the proceeds going to help those whose lives were upended or destroyed by his regime.

Toilet stalls and urinals with his sculpted face at the bottom so that the proper respect can be deposited.

[–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Toilet stalls, sure. If you put it in the urinals, you'll have to scoop a turd out every day and nobody wants to deal with that...

[–] MuskyMelon@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Nah there'll be a SpaceX designed toilets system that sucks and cleans with every flush. The waste can be expelled through a processor built to look like Elon.

Hopefully he's been hung for treason and his companies nationalized by then...

[–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 days ago

I like this one :)

Step right up and topple the autocracy!

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Gravestone with his stupid fucking haircut on top to identify who it is for and "Nobody held him accountable for his crimes" inscribed on it.

Yes, I understand that in this scenario he is still.alive when the work is commissioned.

His body looks like the front half of a centaur.

Ha! that's a great description of the top image.

[–] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 3 points 2 days ago

Maybe something that reflects on all the loss. Dead from COVID, chaos from government programs shutting down, allies betrayed, and a mirror in the center that says something like "you did this".

[–] EvilBit@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Am I allowed to mix concrete with the blood of traitors to create a (probably very large) shit emoji?

[–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'm not against it; but I'm curious what blood does to a concrete mix. Can you just substitute water for blood, perhaps there's a good ratio?

Maybe use it as a paint... That'll probably look better too.

[–] EvilBit@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

I’ve heard blood can substitute for egg. Maybe a giant shit omelet instead?

A 3D representation of a classic logo.

This comes to mind:

[–] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

A giant pile of shit that’s orange with a Russian flag sticking in it on the end of a tooth pick
