        As someone that had a partner that was incarcerated I have seen it thank you very much.

        Trump is not going to deport people. Trump is going to use them in prisons to make Trump-jeans and Trump-shirts and sell them at first.

        And when everything else is too expensive to buy because of tariffs we will be required to buy Trump brand everything. And the items will all be made with prison labor and seem like such a great deal.

        3/5th compromise.

        13th amendment has the word except in it.

        Jim crow laws and trageted over policing.

        Slavery is an unfortunate but undeniably long and rich part of american history.

    Not a big fan of satirical drawings that have to spell everything out with text and labels. This is usually something the right does more but I don’t like it even when I agree with the message.

      In case you weren’t aware, the artist is intentionally parodying a Republican political cartoonist. They’ve mimicked his art style and the way he labels everything.

      I think the labels are important, otherwise a bunch of unlabeled private aircraft congregating could be confused for Epstein’s island

        In agree, probably would have put corporate logos on them which would get you the same effect without being so on the nose.

        I’m saying maybe draw something else or use the same idea a slightly different way, a bit of subtlety helps make the reader think a bit and register the message better. Here in Europe I think it’s generally seen as a bit lazy to use the labels (it’s still done as well though).

      Satirical drawings from all sides of the political spectrum have used labels for as long as satirical drawings have been a thing.

        It’s pretty close to being a defining feature of the art. As it goes this example is actually rather restrained, no sashes, no flying ribbons, no scrolls…

      Have you seen how dumb us Americans are? We need obvious labels and stuff…

      gestures broadly at everything
