AccidentalRenaissance is for photos that look like Renaissance paintings.

This means that they look like Renaissance art in their composition, their coloring, their saturation, the angle of the scene, the types of settings, etc.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Must be a photo. Not a meme, drawing, art, ai-generated or ai-enhanced image, screenshot, low-effort post, meta posts, video, or anything else but a photo.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Must be SFW. No gore, porn, extreme violence, blood, corpses, or similarly disturbing content. Absolutely no pornography, even if it's "tasteful".

๐Ÿ‘‰ Comments must be civil. No slurs of any kind or using words to insult, demean, harass, or abuse other individuals or groups.

๐Ÿ‘‰ The Renaissance part (not the photo itself) must be accidental to the photograph. In other words, no photos of Renaissance fairs, people dressed in medieval/Renaissance clothes, etc.

๐Ÿ‘‰ NO influencer selfies, professional photoshoots with watermarks, any type of OnlyFans-like content. We are not the place to work your side-hustle.

๐Ÿ“ธ If you know who the photographer is, give them credit in the comment section. This is the only type of self-promotion we allow.

๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿฆฏ Alt-Text for vision-impaired users in the post body or in the comments is highly encouraged. Just pretend you are describing a photo to someone on the phone.

This, but also applied to the event itself. We'd be better off without Trump and he certainly incites plenty of violence against his opponents, but I'm genuinely concerned about other implications. General security measures, inciting further violence to get even, or further violence to get ahead.

I talked to a 75 year old Democrat about it. They were unphased. I was shocked, but they put it into context: they saw JFK, RFK, and MLK get assassinated. They saw Lee Harvey Oswald get shot to death on live TV. They saw the attempt on Reagan. Those events aren't that long ago. Me? The worst I saw with a US president was someone threw a shoe at Bush. 9/11 was awful and Flight 93 was intended for the White House, but, with all its associated changes, traumas, and threats, that's still a different class.

Now for the Faux News style comment: what if this was planned? Did Trump order a fake hit and slap a blood packet on his ear? I don't know, I'm just asking questions! Because what's a better boost to a competition than a survival story?

Well he is friends with Vince McMahon and is inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. If anyone knows how to stage fake blood cuts(or razor blade cuts) it would be him.

The Reagan attempt was 40 years ago. Average US citizen is 38 years old. Half of America was born after these events, let alone remember them
