See how it’s working?

Nobody mentions Peter Thiel and his boy JD Vance. They can do their stuff in peace while the two buffoons distract everyone

I have mixed feelings about these kind of memes. It creates a fall guy who's immune to falling damage. Anything the cons don't like they can pin on the other nepo baby.

I can't wait until Trump sees all these memes about Musk, Putin, and pals. The resistance really got him this time! BLASTED!!! \s

Why are all political cartoons so damn ugly? Is it a competition between the cartoonists to draw worse and worse?

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's intentional. Most political cartoons exaggerate the people they are portraying.

It's kind of the tradition. Look back forever and most are like this.

I once went to an exhibition of Hogarth's satirical cartoons, I feel like the modern ones have managed to miss anyuthing about the style that made them good

One thing I've been noticing is that lately they been getting dumber.

For example this one doesn't need any of the "dialogs" nor Elon's name tag to convey the message

I feel like this would be a fantastic fun niche deep dive. I wish cracked.com was still what it was, perfect for them. Or maybe as a video essay on some video platform for content creators.
