an attempt to convince their audience that they, and their ideas, are “of the people”
Plain folks propaganda convinces the public that its views reflect those of the common person and that they are working for the benefit of that person. A very deceitful form of propaganda, it can give the public an unrealistic view of their power and influence, only to toss them into the hands of the government. This poster is a just another "Look at what I'm doing to help the war!" type of poster, where a commoner is working in order to contribute to victory. This poster not only unifies the propagandist's and the audiences' ideas (working in order to help), but also shows that the commoners can actually do something. In many ways, this propaganda can motivate people, but the main focus is on the plain folks technique.
