Iconic photos of 2020 that will be remembered in 100 years time.

From the linked article:
I had not seen this one, nor do I think it will be remembered. But just look at it. Could a single picture more perfectly represent the sane people in this world trying to save the insane, racist assholes from themselves?
Urgh. Trump supporters are going to like this photo. They're going to think of him as a dragon, burning the liberals with his flaming democracy.....or some shit.
I see this one having some staying power.
This is the one. Year from now, I'm going to randomly wake up in the middle of the night thinking about this and my wife will wonder why I'm laughing.ALL THE NETWORKS!
Yeah this is probably going to be the one that sums up 2020 and everything Trump is overall.
The horrific image of Derek Chauvin kneeling on George Floyd's neck is also going to go down in the history books I think
Both are likely contenders, though the one that ends up going into the history will probably depend on the path that USA takes in the following years. If the USA continues to devolve and that leads to a splitting event or some kind of internal war, the Trump one will be remembered as a key moment and clear sign of how things got to where they are. While in that scenario, the Chauvin and Floyd one gets relegate to be known to those that investigate deeper to learn the full scale of the historical events.
Though if systemic change is achieved in the upcomin years, the Floyd - Chauvin one will be remembered as a event that served as a catalyst for change. While the Trump will depend on how the Trump cult goes on, if his children try to continue it, we will probably see the descendants of some holdovers still honoring that pic. Even if the majority of people then only see the 2020 political events as a small footnote (because lets be honest, people then will only majorly remember COVID-19, just like now with the 1918 Spanish Flu)
The pictures of Trump and his goons, while relevant to us right now, aren't that 2020-defining in 100 years time.
What will be remembered and displayed heavily in 100 years, are the empty streets of the world with the beginning of the Coronovirus Pandemic.

This is my favourite. I saw it here on Era and I still remember it. The moment is obviously very important, but the art of the photo, the composition, the light, it's amazing! Such a powerful piece.Oh wow yeah your right. lol

A fair point, but go to 1940 and quite a few pop up.
dewey looks so happy in this picture, im glad for him
It's this for me personally. It just encapsulates his entire presidency and is visually straightforward.If it's going to be a Donald photo, I'm thinking this one:
Having the military gas and disperse protesting U.S. citizens so you can get a photo op in front of a church, holding a Bible like a token of earned veneration is something.
This is just a phenomenal picture. Beautifully composed and says it all.
The day of the MAGA-zombie attack.
First image that came to mind.
I understand everything is about Trump now....but you seriously think all these Trump photos are going to be remembered in a fucking 100 years? Especially on an international level?
Wait, why does it have a data disc? How big is the install size for this game? lol
I mean if militant Christianity grows stronger and spreads over the world, you could trace it back to Trump gassing people, posing with a bible and getting 75 million votes.
That is one possible outcome
Lmfao
Needed a laugh in this thread, God 2020 sure has sucked shit.
Maybe I don't pay attention because this thread is the first time I've seen like half of these pictures.
No, it's not. America isn't the world despite what a lot of Americans may believe.
its this. The composition and message are immediately recognizable. A shorthand for a year that turned everything over.

Absolutely incredible picture.
Thank you for sharing.
I mean, look, to be fair, this is a CULTURALLY NOTABLE location that is ENDLESSLY buzzing with people and to a lot of Muslim folks was almost unrecognizable BECAUSE of the dearth of people in the photo.
Yeah saw the story about why this was such a big deal and this one would be it for me
Somehow this picture keeps coming to my mind when I think about the whole Covid situation:
That was in Tacoma, Washington. Great photo.
