It should surprise nobody that this is a person who didn't get her GED until she was in her 30s.

That may be one of the lesser disturbing things in her past.

I'm relatively certain her "GED" is a set of three magnetic letters on her fridge.  One in six chance she has them in the right order.

In a sane world, this is political and financial suicide.

That’s a question that will never get a direct answer. You have to look at where they’re over-compensating. 😂

Red states have some of the largest amounts of people on welfare.

 

So, I am assuming gopers don’t want social security and Medicare.

[LD0506]

I like that plan

 

Pull the plug on all those socialist Marxist commie benefits to the red dumps

 

Give it a couple of months and voila! You have lots of room for Afghans

Just gonna drop all these here lol...

 

 

 

 

 

Incapable of staying on-message for more than 13 seconds...

 

 

 

 

This is actually supposed to be a pro-Trump cartoon lol...

 

 

 

 

 

The cartoonist got defensive..didn't help matters:

 

"Ok I need to talk slowly so the leftist twits can understand. 1. Yes, I realize that the Don Quixote character from Cervantes’ novel attacked imaginary enemies as represented by the windmill, but Donald Trump Quixote’s enemies are not imagined. I read the book, did you?"

[gbear]

I wonder if the cartoonist recognizes Don Quixote was actually attacking the windmills because they represented progress.  He was attacking progress.  I actually think Trump charging windmills is a fairly good metaphor even if it doesn't exactly mean what the author intended.  Think about it.  Was Trump for anything scientists told him or did he try to suppress their message.  What did he say/do about global warming?  What was his initial reaction to being told how bad COVID was likely to be? Heck, he even sharpied a map to say a storm was going a different way. He was far from enlightened.

 

The cartoonist got it right.

"OK, I'm going to demonstrate how superior I am to the people pointing out that I'm misrepresenting a book, by claiming that yes, I know I'm misrepresenting the book.  And then trying to claim I'm superior anyway, because I read the book.  (And still got the basic element of the story wrong.)"

Trump charging tilting at windmills is absolutely accurate, just not for the reasons the cartoonist was intending like you said.

"Someone" (coughKAOSkinscough) pointed out that it should be "tilting" lol...

Not to mention how many people have read that book. It's not some vague, rarely read book most people struggle with. Most people go through highschool at least reading the cliff notes.
