What do these people have to do with Republicans and Democrats, though? I don't know too much about these actresses, but I just looked them up, and neither of them seem particularly interested in political parties.
The top ad made people on the left upset, the bottom one made people on the right mad. Thats it
Did the top one really make “the left” mad, though? The only people I’ve heard talking about it are on the right (of course talking about how crazy it’s driving the left). Seems more “projected outrage” than actual outrage.
Idk, I certainly don’t give a shit about it
What you're saying makes a lot of sense, especially when you consider the rest of the comic. The elephant is portrayed as a straight man, while the donkey is calling him a Nazi, but the "Nazi" part is out of the blue, not related to anything that happened in the comic.
If you assume that the elephant is a stand-in for the author of the comic, then your explanation of "projected outrage" explains everything in the comic.
