Conservative Political T-Shirts Will Play A Role In The 2012 Election

By Roger Mosley


Politics and religion have always been those two hotbed topics that make enemies out of neighbors and friends. Even so, conservative political t-shirts have always had a place in the realm of politics. They polarize people without anyone ever having to say a word because the slogans and images are just that poignant.

Our fathers and grandfathers have worn their fair share of conservative political t-shirts in the past. These shirts have always been very straight-forward and blunt, which is hard for anyone who does not feel the same way to absorb without confrontation. These new tees use humor to soften the blow and establish a superiority of wit.

One good example that I've seen of this new era of conservative political t-shirts is an image of a common hot-air dryer with President Obama's campaign symbol over the "on" button. The message on the tee is short an simple: "Press here for a brief message from your President." This kind of wit and sarcasm is not what we normally see from an older generation.

The first Republican campaign add of the election has released incredibly early. In the same vein as "The Daily Show" and the "Colbert Report", the new add uses satire to mock the accomplishments of Obama's presidency. They take inspiration from a very popular conservative political t-shirt design that says "Support Obama. Enjoy The Fantasy" because it features fantastical creatures just like the t-shirt does.

Rallies have been popping up all across the country in favor of conservatism in politics, and the conservative political t-shirts have not been far behind. These rallies earn lots of air time from news sources, and it seem that the attendees have been in a contest to see who can get the best tee on camera.

There is no doubt that all of this is due to the rising support the commonality are showing for the Tea Party and its members within the Libertarian and Republican parties. These conservative political t-shirts are being created and pushed by the young people who make up the majority of this new movement.

No one can predict the outcome of the next election that takes place in 2012. There is a common knowledge that this election will be one of the most heated contests between the parties that has ever been seen. Whatever the outcome, we can be reasonably certain that we'll see many conservative political t-shirts worn to the booths.
