Republicans offer nothing but culture war shit. They absolutely know Democrats are to the right of 
. But they are playing the anti China part of the 3rd Red Scare while Dems play the anti Russia part and both are partaking in the [2nd Lavender]( scare (active / passive).
They are exploiting American ignorance and stroking historical previous Red Scare / Cold War indoctrination for the over 50s crowd.
The Red Scares were never about Crapitalism vs Cummunism. It was about different nations clashing over the world's resources, but that would never fly in the public mind spoken out loud. That was all a front, but it gave cover for the disgusting domestic and foriegn policies such as The Jakarta Method, Vietnam War, Hollywood Blacklisting, Hayes Code, demonizing queer people in public life, and McCarthyism.
So they paint the opposition as ooga booga scary Mao CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY COMMIE COMMIE COMMIE! WHERE'S MY AUKUS MONEY JOE?!
They know the actual left knows they're full of shit and that's the real 
part of these political hacks - they study and know very much every aspect of the actual target of theri demonization of things, but they hold the American public with such calous contempt they will willingly lie to manufacture consent for their major bribers. They know exactly who they are harming, why they are harming, and they just do not care because minorities aren't majorities and caculated collateral damage. Plus if you can toss around commie or Marxist or Maoist to anything you don't like, it further brainwashes the 
ignorant masses to automatically put their brains down and choose you aginst the hedons as god's chosen warrior!
They know the public is largely ignorsnt about matters that don't concern them and they exploit it to the hilt.
It's a Ben Garrison comic, he's basically a meme himself

Just normal lemmy.ml things. Block and move on.

what is a meme, really?
What is a juggalo? (a juggalooo)
Well, ot isn't a political comic, that's for sure.
Your mom is a meme.
These right wing cartoons are so odd: pictures and words with an expectation of comedy... yet nothing, no jokes, no subtlety, no double meaning, literally no skill or craft. Completely brain dead :S
It's an edit of a Ben Garrison cartoon, it's not real
Yeah but the real ones are even less funny.
Joe Biden half-remembering a series of personal anecdotes from the Long March (10 hours looped)
mid content
That's pretty high praise for Ben Garrison.
true
Ben is losing his touch if he thinks his target audience knows what a "Maoist" is.
The original has 
instead of Mao
Ah, that's more what I expect. Of course, most of his readership will look at that top book and try to remember if Karl was the one with the horn that didn't talk.
My favorite part of this image is Hunter in the back smoking crack, it's very 😘👌
His mask with the mouth cut out is 
this is why the libertarian party should have a chance
