Sabo's "for sale" sign, an effort at billboard commemoration.
My Proud Boy acquaintances keep telling me that "Republicans are the new punk," which I take as reference to the nascent neo-fascist (politely dubbed "alt-right") fuckery jamming the airwaves and social media accounts.
Sabo's "Unsavory Agents" is a prime route for capitalizing on the meme-driven art. Note that, unlike Banksy, Sabo's primary canvas is not the world but the wallet-- the creation of marketable product. In this, the social media marketing strategics are a solid investment. The revolution will be heavily networked.
Sabo now says he is “cautiously optimistic” about the president. “The day I came to love Donald Trump was when I saw how hard he was kicking liberals in the teeth.”
When he isn't explaining how Obama is a Muslim that tried to destroy America, Sabo is offering pet theories on how Democrats literally engage in Satanic worship and profit from pedophile rings. The demon of Hillary is never far from his tongue. In an interview with Rory Carroll:
Challenged for evidence, Sabo cited leaked emails, which online conspiracy theorists claimed proved the accusations. “I’m a fan of logic and reason.” The fan of logic and reason also lamented America’s polarisation. “The whole climate is sick right now.” Asked if his work contributed to that sickness, Sabo shook his head. “The left are the ones who dehumanise.”
Insofar as coming to love Donald Trump involves making a virtual killing off his followers, many of whom are reeling from the loss of Duck Dynasty, Sabo joins the cash-crop minions who peddle a MAGA snake oil to line their own pockets. It's not necessarily an evil conspiracy, though it is surely a home-grown American one.
