As the United States Presidential 2016 election draws near, I see an increase in the use of iconic realism among many of the political candidates' ads. Making sure a photo opportunity occurs in an iconic venue, be it a local diner, children's playground, senior citizen home, hospital, battle ground or board room, the television ads present these individuals as earnestly engaging in some form of activism to illustrate the need for cultural reform.
In contrast, campaign mud-slinging by both candidates attempts to perpetuate confusion in the public mind-set rather than provide any interest to vote for this or that particular candidate.
Personally, I would prefer to view the type of campaign ad that uses a positive form of iconic realism, which demonstrates that a candidate may actually have an innovative thought for positive change.

Ha! in my dreams...
