It’s even a bad image for their intended purpose, because it evokes empathy for the person crying in handcuffs.
I guess since the person making it and the philistine machine that produced it both have no understanding of empathy nor art, that was lost on the generators of this image.
It does for you. For the intended audience, it makes them cheer and jeer at the ‘stupid brown woman’ ‘finally getting her comeuppance’ for ‘daring to disrespect the flag by being an illegal’.

This isn’t like tears of their enemies though, it just evokes empathy. I haven’t cried in a long time, don’t cry often, and didn’t cry about this image. It’s just a sad image.
It’s close to actual reality, where a lady probably previously working in a kitchen in a hairnet is sad that she’s being deported, and some villainous, stone-faced everyman tries to look tough while standing in front of a flag.
Usually they add in some fascist elements that make it look more glorious to be a sack of shit, but they didn’t even do that with this image.

They don’t have empathy. The crying lady is brown, they’re ecstatic.
