Warning, most idiotic, repulsive conservative political cartoon I have seen recently

Because Gov. sponsored kidnapping of kids is perfectly moral. Those poor, poor conservatives are clearly the victims in all this. What will they do if they can't get away with child abuse anymore?

Interesting how they use the gun analogy, especially since if it were their guns that were forcibly taken from them at borders and locked up in cages (instead of little babies) they would be "up in arms" demanding to be reunited with them.

And I'm talking for righteous reasons and for reasons of propaganda.

No fucking games.

Surely one of the worst political cartoonists - judging by the amount of text he uses to explain everything to the deplorables.

It should be the other way around. Democrats, of course, are not doing anything of the sort.

6. The Other Way Around

The picture should be the other way around since it is the Republican President who is using children and families as weapons. Did he not on multiple occasions admit that he was using young people and their families as leverage to get the deal he wanted? Did members of the Trump Administration, including maybe even Trump, admit that they wanted to separate families at the border as a way to try to prevent people from crossing the border? From what I can see it is only the Trump Administration that is using children and their families as weapons.

Those set the standard for Trump boot licking (especially Garrison's laughably idealized mancrush version of Trump). But this is pretty awful in its own right.
