The fact that it's done as a triptych, and it's not divided into three acts or scenes really highlights the concept of form over function that the right so dearly holds.

I came here to comment on this exact thing. Not only is it a bad painting, but the bad art aspect transcends the painting itself, even to the execution as a triptych. Every aspect of this is terrible.
The fact that it also kinda follows the rule of thirds makes it even more bizarre. They took the character of interest (Trump) and split him in half between the two panels, but left the cock and balls at another point of tension, implying some sort of sexual tension between the figures?
As they say, it buggers belief.
what buggers belief is that you were able to look at it long enough for that level of critique. brava.
edit: there are some weird, linear intersections and balance-counterbalances that keep drawing the eye here-there-and-everywhere, but i can't seem to figure out the point of any of it. neither could the artist, it seems. it's dizzying to look at.
Hehe buggers belief ;)
I thought it was "beggars belief"?
You'd bugger Belief too if you saw 'em.

I think it's just because that particular Joan Fabrics didn't have a single canvas that was big enough on the Wednesday afternoon that the artist's clinical manic episode compelled her to produce this.
You know they only shop at hobby lobby and only it at chickfillet.
they are so bad at every form of art it's unbelievable
Literally the first thing I thought after parsing out the really cartoonish image was “why is this a triptych and not just on a single canvas?” Of course the answer is “because conservatives.” What a weird waste of time and money. Also I don’t personally want to know who these ghouls are but it might be good for society to know who these nasty little goblins are in case they enter Starbucks or the local Wage Theft Establishment.
The artist could put more time into their life drawing skill too.
what the fuck is wrong with these people
How much time do you have?
They're weird.
If i was religious at all, that would be the heighth of blasphemy and deserving of eternal damnation
what’s interesting about contemporary christianity is that it’s not even all that clear if the idea of “eternal damnation” is something that’s actually supported by the scripture. and yet it’s such a fundamental part of modern christianity, especially for the so-called “god-fearing christians”.

If you go strictly by the bible, there is not eternal damnation, only in a sense that in the final judgement at the end of the end times, those who do not make it into heaven are simply destroyed, not sent to burn forever in hell.
The burning in hell part was inserted by Paul to keep people in line. It's Tartarus, from Greek mythology.
Fucking Paul again

Trump ticks so many false prophet/antichrist boxes, it's insane, yet Christians love him somehow

Is this supposed to imply that Biden and Harris are Adam and Eve?
You are putting far more thought in the presence of far more knowledge of the Bible than the artist has.
If so, then trump is God? A bit sacrilegious, eh?
I assume Trump is supposed to be the angel wielding the flaming sword that guards Eden, although technically the actual passage (at least the NIV translation, which I'm using because it popped up first on my Google search) implies God ejected Adam and Eve and then placed the angel to stand guard after:
22 And the Lord God said, “The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.” 23 So the Lord God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken. 24 After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side[e] of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life.

First of all, that’s not how you hold a sword.
I think if you xray the painting you can see an AR-15

Conservatives are just fucking gross.
Righto that’s enough internet for me today lads night night I’m off to bed 🛌
Those are some ungodly proportions.
I despise this.
He really nailed Biden with that Trump-sized penis.
The Bible? Fuck it
Them probably
Someone please explain to me why a bacchinalia with drag queens, and LGBTQ people is blasphmous to the point of ruining the Olympics, but this bullshit painting isn’t blasphemous at all.

What’s that painting even trying to depict?
An angel of God expelling Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden, but with Trump as the angel; Biden and Kamala as Adam and Eve; and the White House as the Garden of Eden.

Trump looks pretty cute in a peach-colored dress.
This is allowed but AI nudes aren't?
