I think the cartoon is intended to communicate to a wide range of people, including normals who don't pay that much attention to Pope hats.

This Pope is so cool, he doesn't even wear this old conservative Pope hat anymore. That's how cool that Pope is and conservatives who draw him wearing the dreaded hat simply don't want to acknowledge that.

The pope is famous for wearing a giant mitre. It's a symbol of the papacy that goes back for more than a millennia, a few years of Francis isn't going to change that. Especially when he still wears it for ceremonial occasions. It is the symbol for the Bishop in chess, it is the on the Vatican's official coat of arms, it has a long long history as a symbol of the church broadly and often bishops or the pope, the Bishop of Rome, specifically. The point of political cartoons is to use symbols that are easily recognizable to everyone. At this point it's like complaining that Republicans are anthropomorphic elephants when actual Republicans are almost all humans, except the pope has been wearing that hat since before there were Republicans. He's been wearing that symbol for centuries before Europe even knew there was a North America. Get over it.

Actually, Jeb Bush switched to contact lenses at the end of his campaign, so glasses is a horrible mistake on the cartoonist's part and he should be banned from drawing political cartoons ever again.

Furthermore, Malcolm Turnbull doesn't wear a stovepipe hat made of a tin. Does Pope even know what Australian politicians look like?

The zucchetto has a little stem-looking thing on top which kippahs usually don't have (although sometimes they have a button-looking thing there) but they're very similar-looking otherwise, yeah

They don't care about costs, troops, or much of anything else. All they care about is that they can look like they're "tough on crime/terror". Republican voters have been well trained to suppress critical thinking, so they eat this up.

On top of that, if you told them how much it costs to run Guantanamo they would then claim that if we'd just stop treating those drat terrorists like they're on a vacation that would cut costs, these are the same people that read that email forward about how Sheriff Joe Arpaio only feeds his prisoners two meals a day with green bologna and they sleep on cots with no pillows and go "That's how prison SHOULD be run!"

Alternatively, they'll just claim that we should kill 'em all. At any rate, the conservative response to Gitmo being expensive to run is definitely not going to be "Oh, well then it makes sense to shut it down." It's to either deny due process to the accused (because they're evil and don't deserve it) or treat them like poo poo.
