He's using literal handouts as a metaphor for wealth earned through hard work lmao. Man, I can't BELIEVE that some of this candy, freely given to me by others who worked to earn it, goes to people other than me, that's BULLSHIT!

Yeah, comparing trick or treating to labor opens up a whole new can of worms I don’t think he intended because him and his whole family are utterly unsuited for that kind of thought.

If treat-or-tricking is compared to labor; then capitalism is the parent confiscating all of the candy and then giving the kid half of a granola bar as their wage.

Mac is pretty conservative but I think that's more of an old timey British "old men are horn dogs" joke than "is this what men are reduced to??" complaint. It's basically an ancient joke out of Are You Being Served?

Yeah, he seems to do a lot of old-guy type jokes, so he could probably get the benefit of the doubt here.

Also, the guys are described as "sex pests" on the sign.

Mac's position is a lovely and hugely outdated "men aren't responsible for their actions around beautiful women", which is consistent with his views on everything else. While he stops just short of actually blaming the victims he's still treating sexual assault as something that's natural and inevitable.

"Sex pests" is the term a lot of the British tabloids are using, and it's pretty typical minimalisation. It paints these people as minor annoyances and again as just one of those things that happens, rather than as a systemic and serious criminal problem. It's like describing a string of robberies as "burglary pests".

Yeah the other half of that joke is to surround the horny old men with women in revealing outfits so yeah it's still sexist (which aligns neatly with Mac's regular tone), just not in an MRA way.

Here's what I can say, as a fact, from my observations on this cartoon.

1) Elizabeth Warren is a native, I do not know what tribe she hails from, that has no relevance to what she has said in public or to her public identity.

2) This cartoonist is not a human being, he's an evil fukken goblin and I hope Rumpelstiltskin (the dog) consumes his cold flesh after condemning to hell.

YOU, Ben Garrison, Go to Fuckshit Inferno, you loser. I am going to tweet your stupid rear end, gently caress you.

It's important to understand that Chris Cillizza is a simpleton in the purest sense. He probably did think Dana Bash's shoes were nice, and tweeted that out with absolutely no understanding of why he shouldn't do so.
