Has Ramirez ever drawn a caricature of Trump? For some reason I can't remember ever seeing one from him.

ultra local semipolitoon


WOW! is our cable monopoly here, and we're on like year seven of it being owned by a national company after decades of having our own lil local cable provider, complete with a locally-staffed call center

Someone cut a fiber cable somewhere, and they've been having very long outages across their subscription area (mostly the Southeast, also here). EVERYBODY around here is talking about the "Wowtage"- I live in a college town, but I also live in semirural Kansas, and there isn't DSL coverage everywhere. The only option for some folks is cable internet or a data plan, and that's even dicey as reception is so-so outside of downtown/near campus.

It's in the local zeitgeist to the degree where I thought at first flush that this cartoon was making reference to it somehow:

Weird, I wonder if there's any relation to the old WOW! CompuServe ISP that offered a monthly fee for unlimited access before AOL switched from an hourly fee.

One of the compliments I could give Ramirez is that he's consistent. I often get the feeling that guys like Garrison aren't as deep in the pit as they actually want you to believe and are cashing in on political movements, but I think Ramirez has beliefs and specifically voices them, whatever they may be.

I know I asked before but has he actually made a cartoon featuring a caricature of Trump yet? I feel like he was looking forward to at least four years of drawing Hillary again and getting to sidestep the issue of Trump entirely but I don't know how much longer he can put it off.

I doubt the comic is at all related to this. Kids soccer is the quintessential "everybody wins" activity in the eyes of conservatives and I wouldn't be surprised if Ramirez was unfamiliar with that story.

Exercise caution when it comes to violence against people like Spencer; he went to that protest and had a camera on him because getting punched is what he was aiming for. Formal actions that actually limit the reach of demagogues like him help; punching him may feel incredibly good, but it's ultimately counterproductive. It's letting him pull the "so dumb and crazy" move, and that, sadly, works.

I disagree, any Nazi that feels comfortable enough to do an interview on the street deserves to be made to feel unsafe.

I don't get the "alt-left" conservative meme. Is it supposed to be a slur? Is it proof that the reclamation of the socialist label is working? Why choose an insult that equivocates your opposition with a group you've shown a high degree of acceptance towards?

They couldn't get away with claiming the alt-right was made up by liberals anymore so they resorted to saying "Oh yeah? Well you're alt-left and just as bad!"

So I've been reading this thread for a few years now. If you'd have asked me around the time I started following it if right wing political cartoonists would someday freely admit that it's unusually hot outside I'd have laughed in your face. What the gently caress exactly is going on? I'm downright surprised they broke from the narrative to make a slew of "LOL IT HOT" cartoons.

The hot new take in conservative circles is "global warming is good, actually."

Please elaborate because what the gently caress.

Pretty much every surface level benefit you can think of for the world getting warmer, like that mccoy cartoon. Also "there will be more arable land" which is another way of saying "tough poo poo for anyone near the equator."

So Garrison is opposed to Trump's attempts to remove the Automatic Minimum Tax, which would see him pay something like 5% taxes TOTAL on his income instead?

It's kinda hard to directly compare Hodgkinson with Loughner beyond "They both shot members of congress." Loughner was mostly worried about how people were using language to control people's minds. A better comparison would be Scott Roeder, a man who assassinated an abortion doctor the right wing media and pro-life movement constantly painted as a murderer.
