During the 2016 presidential election, then Republican National Committee Chairman, Reince Priebus, said in an ABC interview that the GOP would support Donald Trump if he was the Republican nominee. Then he stated, "Winning is the antidote to a lot of things." Part of this statement was spin. Many Republicans were trying to find any way they could to stop Trump. His statement reveals what was most important to the GOP (and to a lesser extent, the Democrats): winning at any cost. Important issues like immigration reform, healthcare, the distribution of wealth, and fixing the very things Republican voters were angry about (angry because of the party's inability to deliver promises they've made to their electorate for decades) were not as important. The party's agenda trumped the needs of the GOP's base.


The posters in this series reflect the conflicts the American political system has been experiencing during the turbulent period between 2010-2018. They are meant to encourage an exploration and a dialogue about the cultural minefield we now find ourselves in.
