Does that poster say “We know you want it”?

I'd assume it says "We know what you want", mostly because I figure there must be more words on the top row than the bottom as they are likely centered lines.

“Sandy” AOC released her ‘Green New Deal’ plan, which was totally ludicrous. It’s childish.

An editor for the Federalist just called AOC’s Green New Deal “immature” and “it looked like something a high schooler” would write. He also added it would cost a “bazillion dollars”.

Perfect! I had already drawn her as a child. Like a child, the young congresswoman should be seen and not heard. Or maybe not even seen, but the problem is she has a lot of followers. It’s amazing people are listening to her. Ben Stein had the best response, “she doesn’t know her elbow from her rear end” (Video tape of AOC wiping her elbow will air soon)

I read that 45 percent of young people favor socialism these days. They learn it in school–and especially in universities.

We all need to speak out against socialism. I’ll speak out against it in cartoon form, and you can help by sharing and supporting our cartoons!

AOC has talked about this before: as a young woman in government, if she says something that an observer thinks is wrong, rather than calling her an evil lying socialist liberal or whatever, they call her clueless and vapid and assume she just hasn't researched whatever it is she's talking about

There's little that's more entertaining than hot takes about AOC's intelligence coming from the same bunch of peabrains that fawn over a president who thinks the stealth fighter is literally invisible, or that coyotes (in the context of border security) are

Isn't the Federalist an objectivist think tank? You'd think they'd avoid using things like "written like a high schooler" as criticism.

One of the most important things I learned from discussions about indigenous people in grad school: it's never about how they were hundreds of years ago when the colonizers came, it's about they could have been now if their culture hadn't been interrupted. We'll never know, and it's a sin against heaven and earth.

The first time I heard of Dr. Ralph Northam was when a campaign ad hit the news during his recent run for governor of Virginia. The ad portrayed Northam’s Republican opponent Ed Gillespie as a racist pervert in a pickup truck terrifying small children.

Next time I heard of the good doctor he was Governor Northam. And he was describing how a baby surviving a late term abortion would be kept comfortable while the parents and doctors decided its fate.

Then came the two guys in klan gear and blackface on his med school yearbook page. Followed by his moonwalk press conference and his confession that he dressed in blackface for a Michael Jackson dance contest. He says he won.

Red-faced Democratic elites called for his resignation. Until the next in line of succession, Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax, was accused of sexual assault. (Btw, he’s being represented by Brett Kavanaugh’s attorney while his accuser is represented by Christine Blasey Ford’s attorney.)

Anyway, next man up is Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring. Oops, more blackface.

Next in line? Virginia House Speaker Kirk Cox, a Republican

Even the hardest core group overwhelmingly supports the measure or at least doesn't oppose it more than "somewhat." And so far there hasn't been an attack from the left, presumably because the playbook writes off actual socialists as "won't happen" and only really has "from the left" attacks planned for male big-L Liberals.
