I'm curious about Candace Owens. Is she really that stupid, or is this all an act so that she can collect a paycheck?

The title, "Obnoxious Liberals," is clearly meant to be ironic in this sequential triptych montage.

A black man chained beneath, "Asbestos, Asbestos, Asbestos, Samson," illustrates the emasculating "haircut" forced on urban blacks segregated into substandard housing by the slumlord Trump. The red left leg connects the like segregation of indigenous people of the Americas, and the red in the next segment connects this historical oppression with the ongoing conflict between Native American gaming interests and Trump's crime-ridden involvement in the expansion of East Coast gambling.

Next to the chained black man is a zombie-like man in a stovepipe hat, with a golf club and a message saying, "Not for Sale," furthering the connection between president Lincoln, who freed slaves not to be equals in America but to kill a rebellion that hurt his financial backers' interests, and a white nationalist Trump, who made a career of shutting black people out of his properties and, like Lincoln, only talks to black celebrities.

Finally, a cowboy wearing a ten-gallon camel toe hat and boxer shorts, emblazoned in dollar signs, represents the repressed feminine sexuality rechannelled as greed and violence among the rural and middle American uber-faux-machismo who latch onto and find some sort of positive actualization in conservative braggadocio. Somehow, Trump makes fat white people who eat at Denny's feel strong, sexy and virile.

Basquiat was hitting the same places that Trump was in the 80s, clubs, galleries, etc., Basquiat there to sell paintings, Trump there to feel sexy and virile. Basquiat saw the "Obnoxious Liberal" Trump as the subject of his political commentary, Trump not yet perceiving that Basquiat was a black celebrity worth posing with, and more interested in using Trump Foundation money to buy paintings of himself.


solid work

metaphors aside, its not too far off the meaning as depicted on the official basquiat home page. But i wonder if there is a hidden meaning. Given that collecting art is mostly a liberal hobby and even the billionaires that collect art must usually pretend to be a liberal...I'm wondering if Basquiat had another hidden meaning buried deep inside the satire of the obvious.

The obvious being that those who represent the poor, the entire liberal political platform is obnoxious. Ridiculous. I mean theatre of the Absurd level obnoxious. The "tolerant" left has become the most intolerant group of people on the entire planet. And your lefty liberal politicians(and some conservatives) have been giving away our jobs and manufacturing away to foreign countries for over 4 decades. Thats the weird part! The ridiculous part! The obnoxious part! Liberal politicians and political fund raisers energize their base with ridiculous ill-placed, unwarranted, off base horrendous vitriol. But in office?? They both allow and push for legislation that allow the wealthy billionaire global elites to manufacture their goods overseas using slave labor which allows those "obnoxious liberal" billionaire to make even more money!! They give our jobs away. And create policy to over saturate our unskilled labor markets with immigrants legal or illegal. That over supply of unskilled labor further endangers the poor and working poor job prospectus. It makes wages stagnant. Why do the poor and working poor accept this from the obnoxious liberal politicians?? Thats why many of them have and are switching to Trump!

So it's not the (actual poor people) that are obnoxious or absurd or ridiculous. It's not them! It's their leaders! Their media. Their elected officials. All of them are millionaires and in some cases billionaires. They are the obnoxious "liberals." The wealthy people that fund the DNC or that they elect to represent them that are absurd. They destroy the ability and any and all pathways for the poor and working poor to become middle class. That is absurd!! Yet they bring out the crocodile tears every single opportunity they have a scream at the top of their lungs whenever a politician rises up to protect the middle class and protect pathways to become middle class and remain middle class. Right now, Chuck Schumer is literally crying on the senate floor. While conceding defeat on the floor, Schumer is ever defiant. "if you believe Dr. Ford, Vote" If you believe the supreme court should defend workers, consumers, and civil rights, Vote?" Really!!?? really??? <--see that is obnoxious! How can Chuck Schumer claim to represent civil rights and defend workers rights when his party shxts on the presumption of innocents and ships our jobs overseas and floods are unskilled jobs markets with illegal immigrants (all so they can get more votes and remain in power!!)!!!???... When He said he beleives Dr. Ford??? But none of her named witnesses corroborate her claims, dont even recall ever being at the party or even knowing kavanaugh!!...yet Schumer still believes her!! FBI investigates!!?? A 7th time!!! Find nothing again. that means Kavanaugh should not only be presumed innocent but extremely likely IS INNOCENT. And Schumer doesn't care. Because liberal dont actually care about civil rights. They dont! They dont! they dont! And THAT is obnoxious.

Bottom line, Its Liberal leaders that are obnoxious! Nothing more than political performers in their theatre of the absurd.
like i said, its a full rebuild.

i mean I'm watching the live vote right now and the liberal literally want mob rule right now. They are pissing on our constitution. The greatest country in the world. The greatest constitution. And the little entitled rich kids are there just to be disagreeable. They dont actually care about any of this because they dont know or understand the process.

If they cared this much, they would take the time to learn and understand the process. They are going nuts right now after Manchin gave his "aye" vote.

"Obnoxious phucks!!" Basquiat was right!!
