World Famous W: May 25, 2007; BAAAAAAAAAAAA

Previous Years' Gay Abortions:
2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 Mid-term, 2015, 2016 Mid-Term, 2016, 2017 Mid-term, 2017

Process:
This thread will serve as a way for any poster to submit a cartoon to the end of the year's Gay Abortion. This is not a true Gay Abortion as there will not be voting. All political cartoons submitted in this thread will be eligible for automatic entry at the end of the year. Everyone is allowed one post with nominations in it. If you decide to change your submissions before the end of the year please edit your original post. The only valid cartoons for submission must be produced since January 1st of 2018.

Not all Categories that are submitted to now will be in the end of year's awards. It all depends on the number of entries a category receives and whether that category can be combined with another relevant one at the end of the year.

Feel free to ask any question or clarification here or by PMing me.

Changes:
We will be splitting Least Concealed Bigotry up yet again (and again) and adding 'Least Concealed Bigotry (Misogyny)'.

'Worst Cartoon about a Movie' has been removed. Please nominate any 'A movie came out' style cartoons to 'Worst "A Thing Happened" Cartoon'.

New categories of:
'Worst Cartoon about the Parkland Shooting' which may become just a catch-all for all gun control cartoons.
'Worst Can't Let Hillary Go Cartoon' for those who just can't stop talking about/blaming her.
'Most Willfully Dense Cartoon' for those who go beyond missing the point.
'Worst Gaslighter Cartoon' for those that just straight up lie and lie boldly.

Any of these categories may be removed or merged once the Gay Abortions happen at end of year based on number of nominations or thread feedback.

Rules and Suggestions:
Standard D&D rules apply.
Please don't quote all the images from a nomination post unless you intend to discuss all them.
For discussions about current politics not related to the Awards, please take it to the regular Political Cartoons Thread.
Post political cartoons of at least some prominence. Any thread regular or syndicated cartoonist is fine, pulling cartoons from a nobody's DeviantArt account is not.
Post only one nomination post. Any future cartoon you would like to submit should be edited into that post.
Only submit one nomination per category.

Are you sure? Because that goblin drawing isn't usually associated with Gonzales. It's a 'parody' of race mixing and stuff used on 4chan. It's a 'caricature' of a particular mixed-race baby.

Yes, indeed, to restore the United States and its democracy, the opinions of today's US conservatives must be laid bare and restricted where needed when it is hate speech and outright propaganda, and met with consequences for their actions otherwise; the Tolerance Paradox has explained this already, after all. A Good Cartoon.

Ah, you're not familiar with doublethink.

quote:

The power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them� To tell deliberate lies while genuinely believing in them, to forget any fact that has become inconvenient, and then, when it becomes necessary again, to draw it back from oblivion for just as long as it is needed, to deny the existence of objective reality and all the while to take account of the reality which one denies�all this is indispensably necessary. Even in using the word doublethink it is necessary to exercise doublethink. For by using the word one admits that one is tampering with reality; by a fresh act of doublethink one erases this knowledge; and so on indefinitely, with the lie always one leap ahead of the truth.

Reading about newspeak and then looking at Trump's tweet is also enlightening.

How 'bout "Worst Midterms Cartoon" (for cartoonists who either tried to deny the blue wave was coming, or tried to minimize its effect after the fact)?

I'd also suggest "Worst Take on the Kavanaugh Hearings," but Delonas would win that one in a walk.
