...Ultimately, this photograph gains its power because it produces a myth of fascism through it’s use of signs. A myth as Roland Barthes describes in Mythologies, is a kind of speech, in which the history of an object is distorted to signify a new contemporary signification that feels completely natural to modern society. In the case of Craighead’s photograph, the soldier in a uniform is a significant sign in contemporary society, one that signifies patriotism and power.

...of problems, and they’re bringing those problems to us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime”(Donald Trump, “Donald Trump’s Presidential Announcement Speech”). According to the Georgetown Journal of International Affairs, in this quote Trump was able to falsely single out Mexican immigrants as the cause of socio-economic problems plaguing white working class voters(Blakey). Trump was then able to swoop in and provide the seemingly simple solution of building a wall.
