The Bay Snapshot
This San Francisco Lawn Features a Graveyard for Conservative Politics, and We Are Here For It
Not all that spooky, really
The Bay Snapshot is a new TBI series that showcases the current mood of the Bay Area in one picture. If you have a picture or tip for a future post in the series, email us or DM us on Twitter or Instagram.
A rising second wave of Covid-19. Rushing a Supreme Court nominee through at the 11th hour. Voter suppression. Zoom dicks. There’s a lot of scary stuff in the news lately, and I’m tempted to wrap up in blankets and mainline anxiety relievers.
It is Halloween, though, and while my tolerance for spookiness this season is pretty low, local Bay Area photographer Elliot Trifilo recently shared some snapshots of these seasonal decorations on a local front lawn that hit just right.
Among the more generic spooky Halloween tombstones are a handful of bespoke, political ones. Donald Trump, Rudy Giuliani, William Barr, Kellyanne “Conwoman,” and “Moscow” Mitch McConnell all make appearances. I wouldn’t go so far as to wish death on any of these people, but I’d sure sleep a lot better if we could lay to rest the horror show that is their political antics.
