Why use a photo from a 2018 protest in the bottom frame?
https://archive.is/oNs4N
There's so many good photos from yesterday's protests. I mean I'm sure the people in that protest probably weren't too keen on fascism but surely it would be much more relevant to use a photo from the mass protests that occurred on the same day as the parade in the top photo? There isn't even leaves on the trees.
Also I think whatever crowd did attend the parade was on the near side of the road, opposite the pavilion you can see in the photo.
Trumps crowd was pathetic, but this photo is disingenuous.
Liars will lie even when the truth is on their side, because they don't want people to follow them because what they say is true, they want people to follow them blindly.
I mean, even the "good guys" in wars still use propaganda and misinformation.
