Context: "Tribune Content Agency: editorial cartoons for 1 November 2020" i.e. https://www.oregonlive.com/galleries/SAZDLUWBZ5E73P6M3AH3PKHABY/ The circle, which Biden is standing inside (which is only partially visible in this cropped-image version) seems to be a reference to #PhenomnVirusCOVID19PandemicMitigation measures, which he/his team adopted in the lead up to the 3rd November 2020 presidential elections e.g. https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2020/09/22/fact-check-joe-biden-events-smaller-because-covid-19/5780898002/
Addendum: curiously, this is despite the overt pessimism of Trump's #TheoryDeclinism #PleaMAGA (Make America Great *Again*) mantra i.e. that America needs to be saved from a #MetaphorThreatGeneralisedNonSpecific. And presumably, "The End Is Near" statement is a reference to #PhenomnClimateChangeAnthropogenic etc. and not the (positive) potential of #CauseRenewableGreenEnergy as they have the potential to mitigate at least some of its consequences. #NarrativeUtopiaEschatologyApocalypticismTheEndIsNigh #MetaphorSignSandwichBoard

Context: #NewspaperUSBrdshtNewYorkTimesJaceyFortin "The derailment of a Norfolk Southern train that spilled toxic chemicals and led to a controlled burn of the substances in East Palestine, Ohio, has become one of the highest-profile -- and most politicized -- incidents of its kind in the United States in recent years." https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/28/us/ohio-train-derailment-east-palestine.html

#IRLScholarRuthWodak "Far-right populist parties thrive whenever there is a crisis. They either construct or exaggerate a crisis or instrumentalize existing crises. They create unreal scenarios of threat and danger, and then they position themselves as the only party and the only politicians who can save 'us' from this crisis and danger. In this way, they first create fear and then hope. This is an interdependent pattern. Which is, of course, not new, which has existed for many, many centuries; but they are very clever at employing this pattern." https://www.populismstudies.org/prof-ruth-wodak-i-am-very-worried-about-the-future-of-europe/ #PhenomnPopulism #TheoryPoliticsOfFearInstrumentalisingCrisis #MetaphorWeaponisation

Supplementary: #AdvocacyNLClingendaelInstituteMarkElchardus "The causes of the contemporary wave of populist successes? These can be largely explained by declinism, the feeling, shared by many, that their society is in decline, that many of the valued things are being lost or even wilfully destroyed. Many people hold the 'political establishment' responsible for the supposed decline, and therefore become susceptible for populism. Using the example of the inaugural speeches of American presidents, this article also illustrates how declinism is concretely used to argue in favour of the main populist propositions." https://www.clingendael.org/pub/2017/3/declinism-and-populism/ #TheoryDeclinism #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPPOTUSDonaldTrump

"The reason Hollywood celebrities are so negatively outspoken about Trump is because, over the next few years, when the politics part is done, they will be exposed as belonging to a sinister secret society who have been working to hurt and undermine us instead of entertain us. Once loved icons will not be able to work again, or even be seen in public without being mobbed and screamed at by angry and disgusted citizens. This is why they hate him. pedowood" #BeliefConspiracy #MetaphorThreatGeneralisedNonSpecific #OtheringElitesHollywood #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPPOTUSDonaldTrump


Supplementary: "celebrity involvement in democratic politics is problematic because celebrities possess significant levels of epistemic power (roughly the power to influence what people believe) that is unconnected to any relevant expertise. This, they argue, creates a problem for deliberative and epistemic theories of democratic legitimacy, as these theories do not take this form of power into account. It is also a problem for any democracy attempting to live up to the ideals articulated by these theories, as this is a further challenge any society must overcome in order to meet these ideals." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8503715/ #TheoryEpistemicPower #CharacterisationCelebrity
Addendum: the comment alludes to the #ConspiracyTheoryNewWorldOrderNWO of #OtheringElitesHollywoodHollyweird (and the supposed infiltration of #IdentityJewish progressive values). The post appears underpinned by the #ConspiracyTheoryCulturalMarxism far-right #OtheringHateAntisemitism conspiracy theory. The poster attempts to vilify the group using the #PoliticsConservatismSocialSoCon #PowerControlViolationPaedophilia. There is a definite sense that the poster believes in a #IRLHistoricalFigureJosephMcCarthySYNMcCarthyism styled (perhaps #MetaphorBiblical), #PoliticsAuthoritarianismAutocracyTotalitarianism form of #PhenomnFateRetributionPaybackKarma / #CatchcryBlacklisting.

Addendum: in this context is meant to symbolically send a message to other #ConspiracyTheoryCabalQAnon conspiracy theory-believers and Trump followers of some sort of 'truth' about Trump (through contrast with Obama). This kind of tweet could be seen as a #MetaphorDogWhistle to #CharacterisationTrumpsBase.

Addendum: Trump represented as some sort of modern-day #BeliefDeityGodAllahYHWHJesusChristMessiah / beacon of light in the 2020 US presidential race (although, apart from the #BeliefChristianityCrucifix above Trump's name - I have no idea what the steam-train symbolism is meant to communicate - perhaps something about progress?).
I can only assume that the train refers to #CatchcryTrumpTrain - using alliteration as part of some sort campaign slogan, where "Each tweet is referred to as a "train car" and sometimes the train cars have numbers. Users included in each train car tweet are called "riders" and there are "conductors" that organize each train and dedicate a great deal of their time on Twitter to this activity" (Erin Gallagher, 16 September 2019) https://medium.com/@erin_gallagher/trump-trains-84bea1c3170d
"trains" can be used metaphorically to refer to coteries of support: https://www.quora.com/Why-do-Donald-Trumps-supporters-call-themselves-the-Trump-Train https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2019/04/what-the-end-of-the-mueller-report-means-for-qanon.html
