I can't help but roll my eyes whenever I hear Republicans and their sympathizers use this argument against Trump's critics. They really don't want us to remember that the original McCarthy was one of them.
Yeah, this isn't the most subtle cartoon, but American health insurance is the kind of evil that often deserves a slightly less diplomatic approach. Also I wanted more practice drawing chains because they're hard.
One for the Western so-called socialists who keep defending China's authoritarianism. Just imagine that the back has a pair of crossed QBZ-95s and says "I RESPECT THE POLICE, STAND FOR THE FLAG, AND UPHOLD XI JINPING THOUGHT. DOES THAT OFFEND YOU, SNOWFLAKE?"
Can you believe those pesky Hong Kong protesters ruined so many travel plans just to make sure China can't kidnap people from the airport? So entitled.
If you're a leftist, and you find yourself celebrating corporate censorship and even calling for more, it might be time to take a little break from the internet before it messes with your head any further.
If old guard Democrats didn't want a socialist uprising within their party, maybe they should have tried actually accomplishing things while they had the chance.
He has a very particular set of skills. Skills he has acquired over a very long career. They include trying to bomb Iran and...well...actually, that's about it.
The 30th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square protests comes at the perfect time to demonstrate the danger of authoritarianism, the importance of human rights, the vital role of a free press, the need to remember even the darkest chapters of history, and lots of other nice-sounding lessons nobody will ever learn.
The rally 'round the flag effect can be dangerously tempting. One of Trump's only redeeming qualities on the campaign trail was his reluctance to go to war, but I'm not so sure it'll outweigh his pathological need for praise.
This attack on abortion rights is just the beginning; with the Supreme Court in conservative hands, the very existence of secular democracy in America is facing a full-scale siege. Get ready.
The invisible hand of the free market works in mysterious ways; sometimes it pushes you past the competition, but sometimes, it seizes the controls and steers you...into the Twilight Zone.
This is what the American healthcare system has become: a sadistic reality show where desperate people compete for the attention of strangers on the internet, to afford what should be a basic human right. It's sickening. How are we not rioting over this?
It can be incredibly jarring to go from the internet, where the far-right has dropped all pretenses and openly discusses their desire for genocide, to a conversation with middle-age liberals who just get all their news from traditional sources. They're good people and they care deeply about fighting racism, but I'm afraid they won't understand how bad things have gotten until it's too late.
To be fair, at least it's better than Elliot Abrams' idea, which was to drive a railroad spike through the boot and then pour gasoline and lit cigarettes everywhere.
Looks like Trump finally found that fatal loophole, and once that precedent is set, he won't be the last POTUS to use it. All bets are off now. Enjoy this whole "constitutional republic" thing while it lasts.
Also, Joe Biden is a naval mine, Kamala Harris is a fishing net, and Elizabeth Warren is...maybe, like, some kind of plankton? I don't know...the analogy only goes so far.
