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

Welcome to the 2016 Mid-term Gay Abortion Awards Repository!

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 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 2016

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.

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.

Specific Categories:
  • Worst Flint Water Crisis Cartoon
  • Worst Pulse Shooting Cartoon
  • Worst Brexit Cartoon
  • Worst Cartoon about Gun Control
  • Worst Clinton 'Scandals' Cartoon
General Categories:
  • Worst Cartoon about a Tragedy

Most right-wing cartoonists have taken to almost-exclusively making cartoons about how bad Hillary and Obama are while mentioning Trump as little as possible, because even they just consider him the lesser of two evils or they know how indefensible he is. Ben Garrison's an alt-right cartoonist who's supported Trump wholeheartedly all along but only a few of the popular established cartoonists have gotten behind him 100%.

I remember seeing a cartoon that was a parody of a famous Mussolini poster with Trump, his hair was shaped like the helmet. At first I thought it was an attack cartoon but the author was publicly supporting the bloke.

I can't find the image anymore as searching Trump and Mussolini gives me page after page of hostile images. but this was the image the artist used.

I think this one counts as having some prominence as it was published in an actual newspaper, albeit a small town poo poo-rag. If not, have a Branco.
