For far too long China has taken advantage of the west when it comes to trade.

Our recent presidents have consistently caved in to them—especially the Clintons who likely gave the Chinese whatever they wanted in exchange for campaign donations. Yes, it’s still yet another Clinton scandal that should have been investigated.

H.W. Bush said by opening up trade with China, our relations with them would become friendlier. He was China’s useful idiot. Instead of becoming our friend, bad trade deals only made China a wealthier enemy. They still consider us an archenemy. Bush did nothing after the Tiananmen Square massacre. We know what China has done to Tibet and foreign corporations or even stealing foreign products and processes. That includes stealing military technology–that is, when the Clintons weren’t handing it over to them outright. They’ve manipulated their currency to give them a constant advantage.

China has been around for over 5,000 years and they’ve learned to take a long-range view of things. They are very patient with their strategy, which of course is world domination. I once heard a translation of President Xi’s comments when he visited America early in Trump’s presidency. Xi flatly stated that he was an atheist. That means he worships himself. He recently proved that by ordering his subjects to love and worship him. He’s becoming the new Mao and like that dictator, Xi’s delusional religion is his own relentless expansion of power. He probably grew accustomed to world leaders applauding China’s habit of ripping them off.

President Trump wants to end the rip offs. Such a push back against China has been long overdue.

newspaper comics are read by senior citizens, but not just any senior citizen; the senior citizen so pissed off by their frail, aging body and the knowledge that death is soon approaching that they become bitter towards the youth and disdainful towards anything they enjoy, regardless of how ubiquitous it is or the fact that they themselves make use of it. it's pure pandering to that market, so when newspapers go "hey let's cut our comics down a bit since we've got no money to pay syndicates" they don't cut their comic.

This one bugs me for a reason I'm having trouble putting my finger on. I think it's the sheer scale of totally unexamined conventional political "wisdom" on display here. Economy up, therefore opposition party has no chance, everyone nods sagely. Based on what? Why? What cultural context? Etc

"The economy is good/bad" is so vague a statement that a party's propagandists can just sort of say it and it becomes The Truth

even if you illustrate it using an arrow going up (v scientific)

A lot of these same people were drawing happy up arrows during Bush's second term and abusing the gently caress out of the meaningless phrase "worst recovery in history" during both Obama terms

And yeah McKee definitely enjoyed drawing a donkey's grisly murder by Trump's Economy a liiiiittle too much

"economy good" used to mean a lot of additional knock-on effects for workers, but over time those have been stripped away by the ruthless advance of capital demanding more and more for less and less, but the overall rhetoric has ossified because to the people who make these cartoons the world hasn't materially changed since the 70s

now "economy good" doesn't really mean jack poo poo for actual workers, it just means "number go up" and workers don't see any benefit so it isn't a real indicator anymore, but people will continue to insist it is long after its usefulness has passed
