Hell Bent for Election

Chad-streamlined Roosevelt

I can't believe they made a movie about FDR Train Wojak.

I wish modern campaign advertisements were this high effort

Nice argument. However I have already portrayed myself as the sleek FDR bullet train and you as the seething coal locomotive. Edit: oh my god guys, I was referencing a meme that a propaganda cartoon spawned, not anything deep or serious, just look up the tweet 😭 Yes, I know that it’s not a bullet train. It’s most likely a hybrid between a New York Central Hudson with the Mercury or Commodore Vanderbilt streamlining or maybe a Hiawatha.

You see I depicted you as the soy defeatist locomotive and I as the Chad-streamlined train.

Actually... It's based on a special train that actually existed. It was call the "Million Dollar Rexall" train from 1936. The Rexall Drug Store (which no longer exists) teamed up with the New York Central railroad for a special products promotion train that toured the country. The locomotive was a 4-8-2 "Mohawk" class locomotive #2873 temporarily dressed in streamline covering. It was painted blue and white with the same "shovel nose" appearance in the front. Each car had a specific job or promoted a new product. (Similar to the cartoon). The train ran for almost a year before the streamline covering was removed and the train went back into regular service for the railroad.

We had Hell-bent for Whiskey, now we have this EvolutIon sure is a marvellous thing

I like that the "bad guy" is more a rich buisnessman / lobbyit, then a direct german/soviet/japanese karikature. Its far more accurate.

It is honest to God crazy how this actually mirrors our current reality in so many ways, today.

Got to see me another cartoon involving trains 🚂🚃🚃🚃

It was the first time in 39 years l saw this cartoon in its entirety. I saw a clip of it from a HBO documentary on political commercials starring the Smothers Brothers.

I love the style of the 1929 train, so wacky and alive

It was hard in those days.

The fact that this has locomotives here

Funny how both US and USSR propaganda both use some cigar smoking gremlin with a beer belly and a tuxedo as their villain.

Artistic style of Soviet caricatures of how Orwell's dystopia where Winston Smith reads a kid's book where they describe "capitalists who were fat pot bellied men who ran around with bags of money who wore a uniform of hats shaped like stove pipe" and of Soviet posters to depict rugged robust laborers

"Brave Locomotive" had a reversal where antagonist villain has an FDR cigarette holder.

I've never seen Senator Armstrong in the guise of a train.

Why does he look like the literal Snowpiercer?

Is it just me or does Joe look like every worker on every Soviet billboard?
