Does Not Illustrate: The Theocracy

Going far beyond than Just a Face and a Caption, this one is... Just a Symbol. Nothing else. Totally non-illustrative.

It should be possible to find an illustration — although with a quick search, I mostly found political cartoons: [1]◊ [2] [3]◊

Third one looks like it can work.

I'd be ok with 1.3.

Pull current regardless of replacement.

1.3 could work.

Pull regardless of replacement. Ambivalent so far on 1.3.

I'd be opposed to 1.3. I'd rather have a straight example instead of one implying that a constitutional republic with explicit separation of church and state is somehow a theocracy.

Yeah, I was having doubt about it for the very same reason.

Any good examples from fictions you guys can think off? That would give us a starting point to look for images.

I think 1.3 works. The image shows what the trope is, regardless of what it implies of what exists in real life. Trope comes first, implications are optional and not actually included in the image.

Not keen on image suggested images

A fictional example might work

Could work. I believe the current is a contender for the worst page image ever.

Clock is set. Voting to pull the current regardless of replacement.

Yeah, pull regardless of replacement. I think 9 is a bit lacking on the 'leads the government' part.

The only alternative that comes to mind for me right now is a series of images from a Cgp Grey video: one showing king and pope as two separate people (for sake of clarity), one of the "combination/transformation" frames, and one showing the same stick figure as king and pope.

I agree with pulling current.

The clock's up and the only thing there's consensus to do is to pull the current, so it's gone and the page is tagged. Locking up.
