My better half told me that this cartoon was pretty hardcore. Darn tootin' it's hardcore. Donald Trump is one hardcore unmitigated disaster for humanity, especially if you have the misfortune of being a racial or ethnic minority. I don't know how Trump gives Jared Kushner a pass or how he forgave his daughter for marrying him, never mind converting to Judaism. But you cannot deny that Donald Trump is a white supremacist and nazi sympathizer. Remember how he couldn't even bring himself to condemn the Charlottesville tiki torch bearing alt-righters and neo-Nazis?
Oh, and in case we doubt his authoritarian sympathies, how do you explain his man crush for every last one of the world's "strong men"? It's almost cartoonish...which is why...I guess...I've inked a cartoon. Well, never mind.
Absence certainly makes the heart grow fonder. I had and still have real issues with Barack Obama, but this blog isn't about him or how (I believe) he let our country down. I'm only bringing him up, because his transgressions pale in comparison to Trump's all out onslaught on our country's governance institutions and political norms. And yet he's no aberration; that's patently false. Rather, he's only the logical culmination of where the Republican party has been heading for the past 50 years ever since the inception of Nixon's "Southern strategy": unbridled, weaponized racism.
Throw in some gratuitous crotch-grabbing, child molestation and a systematic sell out to the world's oligarchs, including and especially Vladimir Putin, and voilà! Ladies and gentlemen I bring you the GOP of the 21st century in all of its splendorous glory.
