JesUSAves

JesUSAves

What does this image do? It yokes Jesus, USA, and Saves into a whole. The image ties the secular (USA and corporate produces) together with the sacred. It seems to produce a historically salient nationalistic/patriotic fantasy that the USA is an exceptional state, a state touched by the hand of God and infused by manifest destiny.

Or maybe not? What do you think?
