Trump's terrible response to COVID19 resulted in a daily thousand people dead for nearly three years, 10,000 a week at it's peak, almost a million in total.
His admin has also been accused many times of using terror tactics.
I think 20 years is long enough that political cartoonists can make 9/11 similes without worrying too much about pearl clutching.
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.
Americans aren't very good at history, but most of them can at least keep this millennium straight...
Not really. "Conservative"/now far right media "entertainment" networks went wild for those 20+ years and managed to garner greater support for an ever further learning pro-fascist edge. It was overly effective for some and now it's a runaway train.
