Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Joined up with an artists' group over at Truth Social. Ran into this post:
The response is also though-provoking:
While both participants of the conversation are not MAGA-men, they do have a point that the Arts is one area we all are neglecting very much to our determent.
Maybe we at GAW could brainstorm ways to win over the artists?
THIS!
We are taking back the culture on so many fronts. Even Hollywood. It's time to do so with art, to make art patriotic again.
As we're finding in the country at large, I'm sure there are a lot more of us than are visible. For each of those 500 I bet there are many more who are staying silent so as not to blow their cover and lose business. I also bet the audience for high end patriotic art, and the buyers, is bigger than we see right now. And you know it will grow as the Great Awakening blossoms. Pent up demand anyone?
The past few weeks I've been giving a lot of thought on how to make Patriotic Art a "thing." As damnImgood wrote below, a renaissance. I feel it's a case of getting ahead of the curve.
I've been digging around and thought, "where would I posit such a thing with like-minded souls?" Came here this morning, have never looked at chat before, and here's The_Knight's post.
The idea of winning over the artists is a great way to view it. Taking a stand for America together.
For me, the ultimate goal would be fine art exhibits in museums, commercial galleries etc. with a big build up to 2026. In fact, that may be our natural opening since art venues will be looking for patriotic art. By then the country will be clamoring for apple pie American everything.
The_Knight, what's the Truth group? I had started posting patriotic art on my profile the 4th, been looking, and didn't find such a thing.
Yeehaw, I'm not alone!

This is the art community where those complaints.in my post comes from. It is not really MAGA-art community, it is for the generic artist not necessarily for MAGA.
I'll get back to you when I found something more MAGA.
Thanks for the link. I see what you mean. My idea is to start one that in patriotic, not MAGA. Pure apple pie love of country.
I haven't tested it out yet, but I know that you could start up your own group, or at least the button exists.
