@cdarwin no, this is something else. Anyway someone does not write in the exact same handwriting twice, 50 years apart.
Edit, I stand corrected

@edgeofeurope @cdarwin yeah noticed that too. Although maybe she took a copy of her old sign and edited it replace the name, but that sounds rather implausible.
@FelisCatus @edgeofeurope @cdarwin
I knew it, that I knew the story.
It's from 2017 43 years apart.
""I actually reproduced the sign using a projector and tracing the original onto the new sign," Twyman told PennLive."

@catflyhigh @FelisCatus @edgeofeurope @cdarwin so she went to some effort to reproduce the original sign to be thematic only for people to assume it’s photoshopped. 
@StrangeNoises @catflyhigh @edgeofeurope @cdarwin I thought that may be the case, but I found it weird that she would go to these lengths to reproduce exactly the same sign. Oh well.
Yeah looks like a photoshop. Every single line and pixel are exactly the same. Also perspective is wrong for the writing near 'jail' in the color photo.
@edgeofeurope @cdarwin Because of this and because of too many fakes in social media, I don't boost postings without the source of the origin.
Edit: I made the fact check: It is real, went viral in 2017.
Here's how she made it: https://www.pennlive.com/news/2017/03/pa_woman_is_a_living_parallel.html
and an interview:

@cdarwin Looks like a copy paste to me. As others have mentioned far too identical on text and does not appear to fit right on the “paper”.
I heard that Trump's ideology is longterism and eugenics, I do agree with the less wars which is a fortunate side effect.
His ideology which also shared by billionaires, think that instead of sending money to places like Africa they should be sent to billionaires who could utilize it more, trickle down economics.
@dozymoe @cdarwin Yeah … if trickledown worked, then we wouldn’t have billionaires getting ever richer. Them getting richer means that they get more money than they can spend. Trickle-up is the natural flow of wealth. So what you need is to take money from the rich and give it to the poor. Literally. The billionaires won’t suffer and the rest of society will profit.
@cdarwin I made a fact check because I don't believe posts without sources (too many fakes in social media).
It's real, went viral in 2017.
Rosemary Duffy's son found her old photo (1974) and copied the poster using a projector tracing the letters. Then they staged the photo according to the old template, it was not part of a rally like in 1974:

Here an interview with her: https://www.pressreader.com/usa/pittsburgh-post-gazette/20170706/281659665070313?srsltid=AfmBOorfoe1RdI1e7IJic3sdj3GSsRkO24U-AFVjuba2J6SvMV5FTI5u
@cdarwin A lady on here has done research on this and it's her son who digitally copied the sign from the old photo and no, she's not standing in the same place. People WANT to believe this SO much, but apparently it's fake.
@cdarwin She appears to have copied the sign quite meticulously. Or maybe she kept it all those years and now merely pasted the name of the current BLOATUS onto it.
@cdarwin That's great. 
The attack on democracy, civil rights, and 'government for the people, by the people' -- it's funded by the same type of billionaire.

@cdarwin With a sign with completely the same directions of the lines around HONK, including the same paler positions? This is clearly manipulated.
@cdarwin This is from 2017 I believe?
@cdarwin Rosemary, you're a legend.
@cdarwin good human √√√
