Picasso’s Guernica: Hitler’s Bombs, Franco’s Blessing, Trump’s Echo—Authoritarian Atrocity Then & Now

📝 October 25, 1881 — Málaga, Spain.
Pablo Picasso was born into a world already trembling with authoritarian ambition. His art became its reckoning.

This video is released in ceremonial acknowledgment of his birthday.
It is not a tribute—it is a confrontation.

We dare to elevate Guernica, if we may be so presumptuous, from a one-dimensional mural into a 56-second sonic indictment. A mnemonic act. A ritual of resistance.

🎨 What Inspired This Video

Picasso’s Guernica was born from atrocity.
On April 26, 1937, the Basque town of Guernica was bombed for over three hours by Hitler’s Condor Legion, invited by Francisco Franco and supported by Benito Mussolini.

• It was market day.
• Civilians—women, children, farmers—filled the streets.
• 1,600+ killed, hundreds more injured.
• 85% of buildings destroyed.
• Water tanks and fire stations targeted first to maximize suffering.
• Fleeing civilians strafed by fighter planes.
• Franco denied it. Hitler called it a success.

Guernica wasn’t just bombed—it was erased. The town’s soul was targeted. Its symbolism as the heart of Basque autonomy made it a perfect victim for fascist spectacle.

Picasso responded with Guernica—a visual scream. A permanent indictment.

We respond with this video—combining archival bombardment audio with Guernica by composer Lorne Balfe, originally featured in Genius: Picasso, a National Geographic series supported by PBS. Balfe’s score channels the anguish Picasso painted.

This is not just a video.
It’s a mnemonic echo. A civic alarm.
Guernica is not a painting. It’s a siren.
A visual scream that refuses to be silenced.

🇺🇸 Trump’s MAGA Movement:
Authoritarianism in Drag

Donald J. Trump is not a populist.
He’s a tyrant in cosplay.
And MAGA supporters? They’re not patriots. They’re historical amnesiacs with their

“heads so far up their own asses”

they can’t smell the fascism they’re cheering for.

• Children in cages.
• Immigrants treated worse than pets.
• Praise for Putin, Orbán, Bolsonaro.
• Executive orders that itemize cruelty.
• A misinformation campaign so virulent
it’s turned citizens into zombies.

Franco weaponized nationalism.
Hitler weaponized lies.
Trump weaponizes both—
and MAGA cheers while history repeats.

If you support Trump, you’ve surrendered your free will. You’ve traded moral clarity for a red hat and a lie. You are the echo of Franco’s foot soldiers—cheering while the bombs fall.

📣 Call to Action:

• Register. Resist. Remember.
• Share this video.
• Mobilize around Proposition 50 in California—a projected 60/40 rejection of Trump’s depravity.
• Be front and center in the elections in Virginia, New Jersey, and 29 other states.
• Elect Democrats. Support progressive issues. Defend dignity.

Vote like Guernica depends on it—
because it does.
Let your ballot be your brushstroke.
Paint resistance.

💬 We ask you:

How do you feel about the comparisons between Franco’s Guernica and today’s global atrocities?
What legacy are we building—or erasing?

Let Picasso’s birthday be more than remembrance.
Let it be resistance.
Let Guernica scream again.🔗
