My point is that it's very odd to focus on the Democrats specifically when Republicans brought the bills up for a vote, and Republicans also basically unanimously voted for it...more Republicans voted for it than Democrats, and a Republican president is signing the bill.

Republicans pushed it through, Democrats voted for it also. You are allowed to criticize either party for voting for it, but you are being inaccurate if you are saying the Democrats are disproportionately responsible for passage, as the term "pushed it through" means.

    My town had an extremely generically named "spa" that I passed by all the time and joked that it must be a drug ring and I found out that no actually they were a human trafficking ring and they got shut down by the police.

    It's not pearl clutching, I'm saying it's not a well designed comic. If he wanted it to be about Covid, he could have drawn it that way.

    As seen by how you're saying "no, people died of Covid" and other people are saying "no, people are being deported" and you both are at least notionally interpreting this political cartoon that has labels, none of which mention any of that proves you have to make one too many leaps in logic.

    It's just generic "Trump bad" which like I said, I agree with, I just don't like the cartoon.

    It was rejected for being extremely distasteful.

    It's not wrong, but there's no tie in to the administration that makes the image need to be the scene of thousands of people murdered by terrorists.

    I hate the schadenfreude journalism. I will never meet this guy, I don't care how he feels any more than some random South Dakotan. The reason he's relevant is his outsized impact on government and the country, tell me about that.
