Jurgan posted:It's good to be skeptical of official sources, but rejecting them without question is just as dumb as accepting them without question. Conspiracy theorists love to act like they're smarter than the mainstream sheeple, but all they do is substitute Alex Jones or Breitbart in the place of "people I always trust." I think this is a bit of an oversimplification. If Alex Jones and Breitbart and the like all came out one day and said "actually we were wrong, Trump is awful and a puppet of the Soviet Union trying to bring communism to the United States, we should have gone with notorious blue dog Democrat Hillary, who is awesome like Sarah Palin and doesn't molest children at all", then I don't think their followers would go along with it; I think they'd denounce Alex Jones, Breitbart, etc as part of the conspiracy. I don't think the conspiracy theorists blindly follow their leaders; I think that their leaders have successfully figured out the narrative that they want to hear.

Pants Donkey posted:That wall is never getting built. Ryan is a fucker, but even he knows what a stupid, infeasible waste of money that would be. On the one hand, this seems plausible; Trump is an incompetent piece of poo poo. On the other hand, this seems like the same kind of optimism that had us certain he wasn't going to win in the first place.

I wonder if there could be a news story so disgusting and horrible that JRROSE would take a significant amount of time off of doing political cartoons because he can't make it not clash with his persona. Like, I'm picturing months' worth of news cycles completely dominated by a Trump child molestation trial.

FronzelNeekburm posted:I could buy it for post-election Bush because he got a lot of poo poo for just seeming pretty dumb and looking like a chimp. It wasn't until he dragged the country into crazytown ca. 2002 that people's anger started to match the consequences of his actions. Wasn't the early anger about Bush mostly a consequence of the absurdly close election (decided by less than a thousand votes), in which he lost the popular vote while winning for the first time in over a hundred years?

Easy Salmon Recipe posted:I was just thinking about the old "Zyklon Ben" stuff. I find it kinda weird that not only has he allied with the people who used to do that to his cartoons (something I recall hearing upset him deeply when he first found out about it), but his views seem to have shifted so that he's essentially making comics for them. And to top it all off, the noses on his "globalist" caricatures seem rather large and hooked... This sounds a lot like the origin of Darth Vader, but more pathetic.

Does anyone else spend way too much time imagining what people would think if we went back in time to a much earlier politoons thread and dumped a giant file with a year's worth of '16/'17 politoons there? And, conversely, what we could learn about the future from a year's worth of politoons from it?

Brother Entropy posted:garrison believing in pizzagate is certainly a thing Gonna  here: if PizzaGate is real and Podesta is convicted for it - or if it's not real and he's convicted for it anyway - literally ban me from this website. I'm fine with it being permanent. I encourage everyone else to do this same because Garrison is a dipshit who says inflammatory stuff that there's no loving way he actually believes in and I want to demonstrate that we're both smarter and better than him.

Korean assassins coming for your husband are probably harder than comedy skeletons to defeat with the power of Love, though. Actually, maybe not! The assassins didn't actually know they were killing someone, they'd been told that they were doing a prank show with squirt guns. That's why one of them had a shirt that said "LOL" on it. This is not a joke

It's almost certainly based on her, although yes, I'm pretty sure they're supposed to be generic caricatures. Pretty certain that, in parallel, the Republican is Dennis Hastert, who is incidentally a child molester.

Spun Dog posted:Yeah, I read it as Varvel being a fan of the cuts too. Jesus loving Christ, what? I mean, I get Trump, he's insane and evil and basically not a human being, but do Varvel and his audience sincerely believe that having a free press is unimportant, or that children don't need media too? Do they think these things can be privatized? Good luck with that! Corporate media is consistently poo poo when left to its own devices and I didn't think anyone disputed that. Seriously, what the hell?

Twelve by Pies posted:When Glenn Beck was discussing the cuts on his show, he said the cuts to public broadcasting were good, because Sesame Street makes a ton of money off merchandise sales. They'll never run out of money and so taxpayers shouldn't be funding it. He also said that because of pledge drives and the fact that NPR had all the number one podcasts, that NPR has a ton of money and we don't need to fund it either. Literally the only reason Sesame Street is so appropriate for children is that it doesn't feel compelled to pander to toy companies, like corporate children's media does. These people won't be satisfied until there's a gritty Sesame Street reboot in theaters directed by Michael Bay, will they?

FishBulb posted:I mean that's true of almost every kids show though. Dora is a little communist who leads elves to collectively bargain and rise up against their evil owl master. Blaze and the Monster Machines is full of STEM buzzwords but it's always about teamwork and playing fair. The Octonaut's have some sort of military hierarchy going on but they're just scientific researchers. I feel like the more violent a show is the more likely it is to appeal to Republican parents. So they probably have their kids watch GI Joe and poo poo.
