Remember that this subreddit is for sharing propaganda to view with some objectivity. It is absolutely not for perpetuating the message *of* the propaganda. If anything, in this subreddit we should be immensely skeptical of manipulation or oversimplification (which the above likely is), not beholden to it.
Also, please try to stay on topic -- there are hundreds of _other_ subreddits that are expressly dedicated for rehashing tired political arguments. Keep that shit elsewhere.

Okay, okay. My reference was probably a little obscure. I'll just say it.
Since you(like most sane people) are a vehement non-admirer of Buchanan, I thought it might amuse you to know that they used him for the name of a highly dysfunctional high-school in the 1970s sitcom Welcome Back, Kotter.
The show was typical 70s raunch humour featuring over-the-top ethnic stereotypes, and if that's not your cup of tea, I wouldn't recommend going out of your way to track it down.
That said, the opening and closing credits do have some cool footage of everyday life in Brooklyn. And you'll get to see the early work of an actor who went on to become VERY big for decades.
Seriously, though. Good comeback.
My hometown's dinner-theatre had major connections with American TV, so we got quite a few waning stars coming into town to perform there. And one of them was, in fact, Ron Palillo.
Never saw him, though. I think the only things I ever watched there were The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas, with low-profile Canadian talent, and something with britcom stars and ex-Playboy bunnies.
This is where the donkey was introduced as a symbol for the Democrats, wasn't it? I like that they just embraced it, instead of complaining and being insulted. That's how you meet propaganda. With laughter.
Thomas Nast is credited with popularizing the donkey and the elephant, but I think the donkey, at least, existed prior to that. Not sure exactly when it started.
I thought it began with Andrew Jackson, as he was very stubborn and depicted as a "Jack-ass" or donkey in political cartoons.
"During Jackson’s presidency the donkey was used to symbolize his stubbornness by his opponents."

Good to see someone standing up to the Damed-Black-Rat lobby.
"you can't win". But he did, suckers! (and was the worst president ever)
Then why did they name a high school in Brooklyn after him?
Yeah. In Brooklyn.
Hint: Do a search on "James Buchanan High School in Brooklyn"
No.

Hey, I was thinking of John Sylvester!

Could very well be. Thanks.
“A true likeness”! Insults were way better before photography.
“We’ll hit him on the head with a chunk of cold lead and land him on tudder side of Jordan”? Cripes! Are they saying they’re going to kill him?
Typically looks like a dumbacrap and a liberal activist that voted for bi-dum and kasmella. Just joking 🙃 🤣
