actually yes, that is the bill clinton rabbit which now represents donald trump republicans

the hillary clinton rabbit has big cartoon eyelashes and an H logo

Considering the national average is still well over 4 dollars a gallon and it's probably unlikely to fall that much more I'd say they're not worried about it and are happy to keep them up.

Can someone explain the joke to me because I don't get it. I know the expression is "hit the ground running" but I don't get the humor here unless it involves Liz Truss lawn-darting into the dirt Wile E. Coyote style. Which is a funny image but I'm not sure if that's what's intended here.

There was a Lester one that was incredibly easy to AGC because even in the good guy with gun panel the "crazy person" still clearly shot someone, and the good bullet also had a trajectory where it looked like it was about to hit a bystander. I mostly remember someone made an edit where no one had any guns and it had fewer fatalities than either of Lester's versions.

E: yeah that one is definitely the one I was thinking of

And it goes right back to what I've said before about how these idiots are convinced that mass shootings will follow videogame rules.
Bok and Lester, you have a literal red devil and a guy clearly labeled as Crazy Person. There is no ambiguity about who the Bad and Good guys with guns are. If the cops rolled up in this fantasy world of theirs, once all the heat died down and it was safe for the cops to be within a mile of the area, they would automatically know who the good guys and bad guys were from a cursory glance.

In their conception, the Bad Guys do look starkly different from them. It's very black and white thinking.

since there is no context to the woman holding the sign appearing out of nowhere and no judgement being made on the sign I'm going to assume this cartoon is about how all women oppose the "good guy with a gun" narrative, and how that is a good thing.
