Two photos here: 'Ireland then' and 'Ireland now.'
O'Keeffe inviting his legion of far-right American followers to prefer the old photo because white people living in poverty is MAGA utopia.
The old photo does tell an interesting story, though, if anybody is interested. /1
This is the old photo.
It was taken on the morning of June 28th, 1932 to celebrate the Eucharistic Congress.
There's a reason I'll get to, which leads to a very sad story of life in 1930s Ireland, why this photo wasn't taken on Eucharistic Sunday (June 26th) itself.
Photograph was commissioned by Mr. Michael Quinn (circled), who decorated the outside of the house with the help of the family.
The house has barely changed, at least structurally, since the photo was taken.
I'll discuss the house itself in more detail later in the thread.
