      Makes him look too cool. Needs a Canadian JTF2 team zeroing in on his ass.

        Either way, this and the 0-1939 is exactly the kind of public art we need that is effective. It fits with the landscape and makes it look like anything but a “fringe” idea. Social trends pay attention to this sort of thing, and buy into it, just like effective political campaign slogans.

        Bonus: it beats him at his own game with all that American PAC phone spam in swing states pre 2024 election. There’s beauty in that.

        How much does this sort of ad space cost?

            So you’re saying in the US you cannot?

            People take out billboards all the time for political stuff, protesting the death of a person from COVID at a hospital (that’s still happening), advertising religious organizations as medical care, questioning police investigations, etc.

              Right, maybe except for the US.

              You aren’t allowed to advertise against something specific, like a company, in many countries. Plus the advertising space provider can be held liable for defamatory ads.

            There is power in a high vis vest, true. People assume you’re where you’re supposed to be while wearing one. The original studies threw in a clipboard for extra effect. Substitute black tablet for extra effect now.
