Exploring the Political Street Art of DC

“The golden age of America begins right now.”
Donald Trump, January 20, 2025

Jobs have dried up, inflation is making us poorer and the regime has destroyed our superpower status but the street art is sublime.

Whether they’re attached to a lamp post, plastered to a wall or just printed and taped somewhere, these artworks express this country’s deep dissatisfaction with Dear Leader and his crew of masked thugs.

Created by artists with names like Absurdly Well and Biketifa (Wilson B), as well as larger organizations and activist groups, walk around Washington, DC, and you’ll notice these colorful posters plastered to utility boxes, construction siding and poles.

Posted in prominent locations, they are seen by thousands until eventually they’re covered up or fade away (it’s just paper and wheat paste).

Here’s what I’ve seen on the streets of Washington, DC from Inauguration Day until the present.
