    I think this is an interesting and eye opening form of propaganda, especially with all that's going on in the world today. In the past, this picture of Uncle Sam was used to recruit soldiers for war, a war being fought with another country. Today, he is portrayed with a mask on, and the words "I want YOU to stay at home and stop hoarding toilet paper." Today, we are fighting a war with a virus and by portraying one of the most famous pieces of propaganda, with a mask on telling us to stay home really shows how essential it is for us to follow the governments rules and only leave the house for essential tasks and when we do leave, we are wearing a mask and gloves.
