    Doesn’t say anything? It clearly implies that Trump’s actions are deliberately trying to sabotage US stability and democracy.

            It’s a political cartoon. The cartoon part is supposed to add something that words couldn’t.

            You’re implying this cartoon is good enough to publish which tells me you either haven’t seen many political cartoons or you’re letting your opinion on the message define if it’s good or not.

            Sounds like you agree with me then! It not being clever is what makes it a bad cartoon. It doesn’t bring new perspective, it just says “Trump is bad like this other thing was bad”

            Agreeing with the point (which I do) doesn’t make a cartoon or meme good.

      Political cartoons are supposed to be clever and this is not. “9/11 was really bad. Trump is also really bad.” Wow… Never thought about it like that…

      And it’s in bad taste, using 9/11 almost as a punchline. Replace the twin towers with any tragedy and it’s the same “joke.” How about a cartoon in Uvalde? The kids can be wearing that text on their shirts.

      Agreeing with the message doesn’t blind me to how r/im14andthisisdeep this is. It’s just not a clever cartoon.
