Uncle Sam might be sad, but the trapping is quite intentional. Uncle Sam could have said no, but he didn’t. There are thousands of uncle Sams out there today saying yes. And that’s terrifying.
He did something and didn’t realize the consequences?! I’m shocked!
The system’s checks and balances prevent any one person from having enough power to cause problems like this.
yet everyone responsible for enforcing these ‘checks and balances’ is conveniently silent or getting locked out or fired. This so called system isn’t a machine computer program that works with no human intervention
Wait, what’s the door in this metaphor?
could mean closed opportunities but it’s not 100% clear that this was the artists intention
I think it means “there’s no way out”
Nothing, it’s just the exit. It’s about the phrase “Painting yourself into a corner”
I’m not sure if you are making a very deep philosophical point here or are just saying don’t overthink it
I think you’re overthinking it, trump choose to put himself in this situation = uncle sam choose to trap himself in the corner
It’s just the exit…
You can open it to see all the people scratching their heads over this tactic.
