No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

Sort of a cartoon, Billy West has been reading Donald Trump quotes in his Zapp Brannigan voice

It's amazing how in character for Zapp Brannigan those lines are.

In this category because it's well drawn and the message is conveyed clearly. And no Ben Garrison, clearly doesn't have a weird homosexual crush on Donald TrumP:

Funny how a comic from 1881 is still relevant in USA:

It doesn't concern you, Sister, that kind of absolutist view of the universe? Right and wrong determined solely by a single all-knowing, all powerful being whose judgment cannot be questioned and in whose name the most horrendous acts can be sanctioned without appeal?

Being required by someone else’s religious beliefs to behave contrary to one’s sexual identity is degrading and disrespectful.

I dunno, I think it kinda is, if you think about it.  Institutional racism is as much a political problem as it is a societal one.

As much as I agree with the message, why do so many political cartoons suck at being cartoons? You're in a visual medium! Stop using so much text!

Seen on another forum in response to that cartoon:

Quote
This is classic. How do the crime statistics by race compare to the incarceration statistics? How many people that are incarcerated here would be killed for the same crime in a different country? How much of these stats are for major vs. minor offenses and how long are these sentences? 90 days hard time is a lot different than 20 to life, but all that detail gets conflated in a big scary number.

Half -truths like this cartoon lack key context that leave a lot of room for people to draw their own half-baked conclusions. That's probably why they're employed as political propaganda.
