I wouldn’t be surprised if Ricky Gervais becomes one of those “You FORCED me to become this!” conservatives. Naturally right wingers love him very suddenly for some reason, and despite his whining he’s still an egotistical Hollywood type.
I see that.

"these are terrorists who don't respect life, hate anything good, and are willing to kill anything or anyone in their way.

And we need to act just like they do because we're the good guys."

the only thing trump has ever protected anyone from is from spankings and that's only because his hand got there first.

there's a gigantic danger when using a gun as a metaphor. here we have the gun as a rope in a game of tug of war. however, by making the rope a gun, the entire game changes since one end will kill you. it becomes one side trying desperately to point the barrel at themselves as the other side, the side with the trigger, tries to look innocent while holding a gun. the game becomes inherently unbalanced as one side has a gun and the other has a gun pointed at them.

also the "good guy and bad guy struggle over a gun" trope only has one use I've ever seen: the bad guy struggles to kill the good guy while the good guy tries to not die. and the good guy is never at the trigger of the gun.

basically, by replacing a harmless rope with a gun, garrison unintentionally changed the entire scene but doesn't get paid to care about details like that.

I know we had the discussion last thread about the whole "Mad Max future" genre of political cartoons, but even when they don't go "lol Trump will be our mutant dictator forever", I've grown really tired of this whole "the future is cartoonishly bleak" thing.

I mean, it's not like the future isn't bleak, but cartoonists like this have been putting out "Today, it's [bad thing Trump did], in 5 years it will be [exaggerated version of bad thing Trump did], in 10 years it will be [picture of bones with nukes going off in the background]" every week since Trump got elected. Enough lefty cartoonists do this exact format that it has all started to blur together for me. It really comes across as lazy by this point.
I thought of this the other day and I can't name the last movie i've seen with a hopeful future.

So, you see the thing is in theory there's nothing stopping a future monarch from actually using all their powers. Refusing to cede lands and incomes, taking an active role in government. The Monarchists who are actually in it for the Monarchy and not just for the tradition of having a figurehead hope that one of them will do this. Of course, even if one of them did try (they won't) it wouldn't work because Parliament would just get rid of the Monarch's theoretical power and it's not like the army would actually listen to a suddenly authoritarian Monarch.
only a fews years until there's a populace monarch who claims to be "one of the common folk" and vows to hunt down the "elites" "infecting" the monarchy who will rile up the british chuds

No, the visual metaphor is set up right. Socialism is enticing America with (Free Stuff/A chance to kick the football), but it will pull away from its promises and leave America injured on the floor. The Democrats are encouraging America to trust Socialism, despite knowing first-hand how unreliable she is.
but, even according to conservatives, socialism DOES give you free stuff, it just collapses when "you run out of other peoples money". they make claims like "yeah, healthcare will be free, but super hard to get because (they) will soak up all the free stuff" and "doctors will stop being doctors because they'll be slaves under socialism". so it's easy to kick the ball, it's just impossible to send it very far. a "better" version would have everyone kicking the ball but hurting themselves.

I think I'm putting too much thought into this, you're very right.

Farmers still being portrayed as humble, earnest workers on their great granddaddy’s land is one of the greater lies capitalism has foisted upon us.
trump's billionaire Secretary of Agriculture keeps telling the "hilarious" joke of "what do you call a farmer in the basement? a whine cellar" and the farmers just laaaaaaaugh.

also this is the same metaphor he used for "the squad": they're biting the hand that feeds them. except this time he was ok making the hand overtly white and male instead of putting a glove on it.

horsey appears to be a socially liberal financially conservative type? or maybe he's just an old crank early. but he makes "old man shakes fist at the youngsters" comics a lot.
And, because it's tradition:

all these comics are purposefully conflating the abstract concept of "fear" a non-tangible thing that can't hurt you to an actual, physical virus that can kill you.
no one is cowering in their homes because they're afraid, we're actively avoiding a real thing. i'm not wearing a mask because of vague fears, i'm wearing a mask to try to prevent a thing getting through the mask.
this is the equivalent of graffiti that says "what're you: a pussy??"
