I thought only fascist governments did this

I thought it was one of the hallmarks of dictatorships that they would display images of the “Maximum Leader” or “Der Führer” - Doesn’t this seem more like something like you would expect to see under the regime of say, Saddam Hussein, or Mao, or Stalin?

Or maybe a banana republic - complete with Banana Republicans - this was a Clear Channel (a company that held rallies for Bush, advertised on their stations) billboard in Florida, with the caption “A political public service message brought to you by Clear Channel Outdoor.”

Excuse me, I gotta puke…
