To Protest Trump, Group Repurposes World War II-Era Propaganda Posters [View all]
At first look, the poster is familiar. It features a man whose head is barely above water, his finger pointed threateningly at the viewer with the message, “Someone Talked!” It was originally printed by the U.S. government in 1942 as part of a propaganda effort to encourage Americans to support — and sacrifice for — the war effort against the Nazis.
This week those posters started popping up on light poles and utility boxes around D.C., but with a different message on them: “Someone (Donald Trump) Tweeted!”
The posters are part of The Sophie Scholl Project, an effort funded by the liberal Creative Majority Political Action Committee and named after the German activist who was tried and executed for treason after engaging in anti-Nazi activities in the 1940s. So far, more than 4,000 of the posters have been wheat-pasted around D.C.
