A collective of anonymous artists plastered Los Angeles from downtown to the mid-Wilshire district with posters and stickers of Mockingjay's rebellion bird to tout Cruz' presidential candidacy.
Donald Trump may be the lead choice of California Republicans, but Ted Cruz apparently still holds a special place in the hearts of Los Angeles conservative street artists.
Over the past few days, a collective of anonymous artists responsible for the "Don't Say" signs at Hillary Clintons Brooklyn headquarters and the Maxine Waters "Poverty Pimp" poster used the Mockingjay rebellion bird symbol to tout presidential candidate Cruz.
With the second Republican debate scheduled for Wednesday at the Reagan Library in Simi Valley, the artists have papered the city with pro-Cruz stickers and posters from downtown Los Angeles (at the Walt Disney Concert Hall) through Hollywood (where they plastered their Mockingjay rebellion bird on a series anti-Trump signs) and over to LACMA in the mid-Wilshire district.
One of the artists told The Hollywood Reporter that they wanted to tie the Mockingjay rebellion to Cruz and "the country's present parallel to The Capitol" depicted in the Hunger Games movies.
"The big question for us 'is the republic actually dead?' and is Obama just the first caesar?" the artist said. "The welfare state and the Kardashians are the 21st century version of bread and circuses ... Is this a democratic republic, or just a Washington D.C. TV show that is pretending to be one, while the Federal government laughs at the plebes ... If Cruz is the candidate, we have a chance at restoring the republic."
And if Trump wins the nomination? "At least he's all in on being an American."

Where’s the “Trump hatred” on this thread?
I was just having fun. I like Cruz, and will vote for him if he has a realistic chance of winning.
This must just annoy the lefty artists out there!
Sorry for misreading you, EE. My fault.
Did I say this thread?
No worries at all. From what I posted, I would have come to the same conclusion in your place.
I, unfortunately, am a smart***.
:)
A lot of Juniors and Seniors will be eligible to vote next year.
I was just talking to one of the teens for Ted on twitter about what they’re doing. He said he will be eligible to vote in the Texas primary and that its just as much about learning the constitution. That in itself is worthwhile to me.
I sent him info on the free online Hillsdale college courses on the constitution and federalist papers.
That’s not always a bad thing, IMO. ;)
That’s excellent, CC.
Ted has always had the ability to connect with the young. Those are the kids we want for the future leaders of the country.
That’s good, because I can’t change.
Now this is just cool.
Lol! Love it...
and district 12
Love. It.
Everyone needs to print these off and plaster their hometown with them!
It looks a awful lot like the Spy vs Spy cartoon graphic, perhaps intended so ?
How is this thread on about some L.A. art about Ted Cruz some how contrived as Donald Trump hatered ? Spell me the logic in all that please.
Most Ted Cruz supporters are respectful of Donald Trump.
I was referring to the Trump hatred running will on Free Republic not on this thread. My bad.
If Donald Trump gets the GOP nomination then yes I’ll vote for him, regardless I am still sticking with Ted Cruz.
If its Jeb Bush I won’t vote, we will be in all trouble if he gets the nomination.
