Are you a fan of bald eagles, the Statue of Liberty, and other patriotic cliches? Do you think the election was stolen, Trump is the true President, and insurrectionists were protecting our freedoms? Did you once design your church newsletter or work as an intern for Alotta Action advertising? If so, have we got a contest for you!
Thanks to the Ogle Mole Network, we've learned the Oklahoma GOP – a.k.a. the political party that equates employer vaccine mandates to the Holocaust – is holding a $200 design contest for the trade show booth it lugs around to local gun shows, militia meetings, county fairs, anti-vaccine rallies, church sermons, etc.
Here are the details from the email:
As a former corporate marketing guy, there's nothing I love more than hating on a design contest. They discourage creativity, encourage moronic group think, and almost always lead to a bad result. On that note, I guess we shouldn't be surprised the OK GOP is running one.
If you ask me, as opposed to running a contest, they should have shelled $200 to the graphic designer at Fast Signs to make one. Another option would have been to just hire Shelley Landon to do it. Her flair and creativity are unmatched in the Oklahoma conservative universe, and she probably would have done it for free.
