You know what? If they want to turn him into a martyr, I want to turn him into a saint. St. Luigi of Baltimore. In fact, I want to erect a big statue of him, something deliberately over the top and in bad taste. Like how Dante wrote his political enemies into Hell.
Think of the classical paintings and statues of St. Michael casting Satan into Hell.
I want to crowd fund a big bronze statue like this. Except Luigi is St. Michael and Thompson is Satan. Thompson can be holding a scroll that reads "delay deny depose."
I say we put a gaudy statue like this somewhere near United Healthcare's headquarters in Minnesota. Just this classical bronze of their former CEO as the Devil himself, being thrown into literal Hell by St. Luigi of Baltimore. Make them drive past the damn thing every day on the way to the office.
The dedication on the plinth can read "In Memory of St. Luigi of Baltimore. Tear down this monument when Americans no longer die from lack of healthcare."
The bastards want to make him a martyr? I say we make him a SAINT.
Start a gofundme, do it
Dope illustration. Change the faces. Change the sword to a homemade silenced ghost gun and change whatever's being scattered by Michael into pills.
Edit- looked closer- change the chains held by Michael into him scattering pills and money.
It's the start of an idea. I'm no artist somebody run and do it!
Yeah there would be a lot of opportunity for interpretation. Realistically you would raise funds and accept proposals from artists. But I do love the over the top classical imagery.
We're the people and I was hoping to inspire someone to make art for the people instead of for money. I wasn't suggesting someone go get on making a statue!
But I get it, being an artist is hard as fuck for many reasons, one of which is everyone wants you to work for free.
I'd pitch in for it.
Oh I like this idea.
