Who's the face mask modeled after with those kids wearing Confederate flags? David Duke?
Yeah, Dukes of Hazzard - it's stitched onto the shirt.
I think it might be Evel Knievel
It's evel Knievel but you're right the face is the same for the dukes of hazard around 1980.
Bo and duke had a costume in 77 but the outfit didn't look like that.

This was the Bo Duke costume in 1979
I do agree with the others that this must be a generated image though
Edit again! like others have said, the original image was run through filters. that's why it looks so wonky :)
they are two different masks, because this image isn't real
This image is 100% real, and the masks are the same, just from different angle. Edit: that’s right, feed me your downvotes, even though I’ve been proven correct by the guy down below.
Exactly correct, it predates any half-decent AI image generation. I think you're right about the masks being identical, too.
the hair has a completely different shape. also check out the darth vader mask, tell me how that's real.
Headless child in the 4th row?
That's part of the costume. /s
Elsewhere in the thread, someone dug up a reddit post of the original image from early 2022 where you can barely see the darth vader mask. The image has been processed in some way that has made the mask disappear.
