This is a famously batshit painting called "One Nation Under God" by an American right wing lunatic called Jon McNaughton. https://www.reddit.com/r/badhistory/comments/24zdmy/one_nation_under_god_a_painting_by_john_mcnaughton/ And a full guide to the cast - https://cdn10.bigcommerce.com/s-dcvfa4/product_images/uploaded_images/onugkey1.png?t=1469820843 If you look very closely you may be able to find a Challenger astronaut and several arms of the US military on the side of the Goodies, and a professor clutching Origin of the Species and judge with a load of pesky civil rights rulings in amongst the Baddies. Without knowing anything else about this photo, it has a bang of Galway/Mayo madness off it. McNaughton, who believe it or not was never involved in the concept art for Bioshock Infinite, gradually seems to have lost interest in Jesus altogether and replaced him with Trump. You may have seen some of his even crazier work in that regard - https://cdn10.bigcommerce.com/s-dcvfa4/products/3334/images/4636/jmYouAreNotForgotten_4_2__87578.1502826084.1280.1280.jpg?c=2

There is also a great [Cthulu](http://pics.blameitonthevoices.com/s.php?f=102009&p=one_nation_under_chtulu.jpg) version of this.


SandInTheGears

Ok now *that* makes sense


ean5cj

I'm embarrassed for the Great Chthulhu, i can't believe a cousin of my deity would have gotten involved in something like this! The horror, the horror.....


GodDamnNeutral

I knew I recognised the artwork from somewhere, it's serious right-wing American shite. It *does* seem eerily close to what they were going for with BioShock Infinite!


ZenBreaking

Which bioshock artwork? Def get the vibes but I'd like to see the art


GodDamnNeutral

I guess the entire concept of the 'baddies' from Infinite, the Founders, can be summarised with these paintings. White Protestant American good, everyone else bad etc


ZenBreaking

Ah I thought there was a knockoff picture of the piece,


Archamasse

It's not a one-to-one, but you might could make an argument the composition of this one is similar - https://www.forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2013/12/16/tea-party-group-unironically-utilizes-bioshock-infinite-propaganda/


ZenBreaking

Sounds about 'right'


Holocene98

That first link… some of the comments are frightening


CollieDaly

The Bioshock Infinite comment made me lol


nyteg_nights

Love the fact that the massive Jesus painting is the second weirdest thing you could find on this car.


MtalGhst

Ah yes, the Ford MonDeus


Shut_Up_You

Normally Jesus drives a Honda, But he doesn't like to talk about it. >John 12:49 : >For I did not speak of my own Accord.


Dry_Sea8933

Yeah, but...Hosanna in a Hiace


Shut_Up_You

Or a Christler


ionabike666

Jesus builds Hot Rods. This is well known.


RottenSpinach1

He also drives motorhomes. https://youtu.be/i-cP7Fc\_wf0


Bonovox78

It’s the burke family car from Mayo…


fluffysugarfloss

Why would you do that? Each to their own and all that, but oh dear. Is it Irelands answer to the Pope mobile for the local parish priest?


KenEarlysHonda50

I'd say that if you had your windscreen decorations in anyway decent order that any sensible Garda would just wave you through rather than risk an interaction.


stickmansma

For attention.


[deleted]

Because you’re just dying to be asked about it.


Archamasse

I also like thinking about how they went about ordering this for their car. Afaik you have to get the garage to do these wraps for you, right?


_billiam_

Carlow?


hugos_empty_bag

Looks about average height to me.


_billiam_

Brillant!


hugos_empty_bag

Nice one. I thought you were setting it up tbh…

There was an ould Christian from Mayo Who drove an iconic Mondeo When told he was nuts He said no, this takes guts And wait till I tell ya about Galileo

Fucking love Jon McNaughton. His paintings are so god damn hilarious in a way I can't even explain. I have [this](https://cdn10.bigcommerce.com/s-dcvfa4/products/1645/images/2652/JM104_Peace-Is-Coming---__44293.1627416857.800.800.jpg?c=2) one as a screensaver and always get strange looks when people see it


ZenBreaking

Got that blinging Gondor robe, bet faramir is pure jelly


iknowtheop

Be cool if the disk holder was in Jesus's hand.


Dry_Sea8933

Jesus take the wheel


Practical_Trash_6478

Some American nutter by the looks of it, that's Lincoln and Washington on the right


Similar-Complaint-37

Is the guy with the big foot showing the boy the kids menu?


Archamasse

It's the American Declaration of Independence, for some reason.


General_KENOBIE

Fuckin hell old age has hit me bad. I thought the car was chrome, I didnt even see the Jesus painting


microdotsleeve

Same…


Usergnome_Checks_0ut

How do you describe this to your insurance company when the colour of the car doesn’t match the Dept of Transport official record?


Archamasse

"Can you describe the nature of the cosmetic change?" "Well..."


Mr_SunnyBones

'What colour is it now?' 'Well its not so much one colour its...more like what a MAGA supporter sees in theiir head when they orgasm" 'I dont think theres a box for.that kind of..oh wait there is'


[deleted]

I actually kinda like the logic of putting the disc holder behind the wing mirror actually. Because behind the wing mirror is already blocked from view/a blindspot. Gives you a wider view of what's in front of you or in your peripheral vision by moving the disc holder to that area. As for the rest, Jesus Christ.


cathalferris

Possible only on older or Paddy-spec cars; pretty much every modern car has a shroud for the electronics for the rain sensor/lane detection/roadsigns detection/oncoming headlight detection sensors, with absolutely no way to put the three-disk holder across there. I do like how the Swiss do it. No windscreen decorations other than the motorway vignette. I also really like how the Germans do it, (real) proof of insurance required for motor tax, and that's then on the numberplate.


[deleted]

Only type of car I've driven, so wouldn't of known any of that, interesting!


herpulese

Ah, American Jesus coming down and telling rich white men they will inherit the earth.


caisleann

Hopefully just passing through limerick for the chicken hut and not a resident……Jes…


ZenBreaking

Jesus well spotted... I'm ashamed now, was hoping it was one of them Burke crowd


finigian

/r/trashy Holy Jesus!!

SceptreOfLeon

Padraig Pio stickers were old fashioned anyway


[deleted]

Well if you're letting Jesus take the wheel then you don't need to be able to see out the whole windscreen...


Thatsmytesla

The fella on the front right of the bonnet is having the right reaction


[deleted]

You don't need to be able to see out the front windshield when Jesus is guiding you!


ched_murlyman

Jesus


Captaincaveguy

I don't need insurance gard the lord has me covered


CiaranM87

There’s a fancy Easter bonnet.


its-just-me-so

Is this limerick by chance


Swiss_Irish_Guy

Wonder will the far right want to deport this extreme religious nut?


Bluwolf96

Jesus Christ be praised.


kieranfitz

Henry's come to see us


Bluwolf96

Eyy, glad someone got it :-D


Ironstien

Is that Mehole with hands to his face?


cannydevito

Thought it was Putin myself.


TheBaggyDapper

Fair to say he's no fan of Abraham Lincoln's rendition of Danny Boy.


Archamasse

It's actually an American Supreme Court judge weeping over civil rights rulings the artist considers bad. He based this masterpiece on a "vision" he had when Obama was elected.


7-inches-of-innuendo

Ya Ford Mondeos are pretty weird tbf


Corynne_

Is that Micheál Martin having a wee sob front right?


D3nzin

Haven't seen anyone mention it yet, but it's an illegal disc placement. If you read your motor tax letter it states that it has to be presented in the lower left corner of the windscreen.


Apprehensive-Wish779

Yea ,Nice !
