Apologies if I’m misinterpreting the indent and you’re not actually asking. Right is Harry S Truman (an anticommunist war criminal who authorized use of the nuclear bombing of civilian targets; worked to draft striking rail workers into the army and other union busting; kicked off much of the military industrial complex by forming the (now) DoD; formed the NATO/UN; formed the CIA/NSA; led the US in recognition of Israel as a state; led the US into illegally invading Korea; facilitated McCarthyism); etc) and on the left is Thomas E Dewey (NY lawyer, governor; lover of state murder; defunder of child care programs; anticommunist; union buster; Zionist; running mate of strom thurmond; premature celebrator). Famously the Chicago Tribune ran an incorrect headline that Dewey had won the presidential election (he didn’t).

The kids crying because he’s a Marxist Leninist Maoist and his parents are rubes. Or alternatively because he knows he’ll probably be sent to Vietnam or some other bullshit war, in time becoming a racist Zionist anticommunist who holds deep disdain for his own family (which is of course returned in spades). Or maybe he’ll be able to fuck off to the middle of nowhere and live with cats and dogs. Probably mostly crying though because he never stood a goddamn chance of not being traumatized for the absolute stupidest reasons. USA baybeeeee
