In 1948 Thomas Dewey ran for President on the Republican ticket. You probably heard of him from the famous, but “fake news” headline “Dewey Defeats Truman” that the Chicago Daily Tribune ran on November 3, 1948.
The above “dollar” is hilarious because even 70 years ago the Republicans were pulling the same Sh*t they are pulling today. In case you can’t read the dollar this is what is says:
If you vote Republican this certificate is good for:
Home and farm foreclosures / Hunger marches in Every City / Higher Power and Light Bills / Big Business Monopolies / Another Wall Street Crash / Unlimited Bank Failures / Old age misery / Unemployment Bread Lines / A kick in the pants for ex service men / Another War in twenty years / No Social Security / Crooked Stock Schemes / More Republican Taft Hartley Acts / Lower Minimum Wages / No rent control Higher Rents / No houses for Vets / Guaranteed double prices on Autos / Still more for the rich / Still less for the poor / Taxes that spare the rich and soak the poor / Approval of Deweys Blessings on that awful Congress.
About the only one they got wrong is the “Another War in Twenty Years” It seems now that every Republican president needs his own war.
