From Clay Jones on his political cartoon “Trumping, Tweeting, Trolling,” Donald Trump’s Twitter account, and more liberal distortions and half-truths
A lot of people are upset that Trump haters are protesting the election. When I say “a lot of people,” I’m talking about Republicans. They point out that this is a democracy and Democrats should accept the results of a fair election.
The problem with that is we are a democracy and our Constitution, for now, allows protests (and political cartoons that point out that Donald Trump is a racist). The other problem is that our election wasn’t really fair.
Donald Trump was elected with fewer votes than Hillary Clinton, which is the second time this has happened since 2000, both times putting the Republican candidate into office. Trump was also supported by a foreign government who was hacking into his opponent’s email system and displaying their internal messages for all the world to see. Some of the messages were suspected to be doctored. Another assist for Trump came from the FBI, which might be the final straw that convinced nimrods to mark the ballot for Trump.
The big issue with the Russians and the FBI is that both were apparently communicating with the Trump campaign. How fair of a system is that?
Before the election, Trump claimed the electoral system was rigged. He complained about the electoral college and said he might refuse to accept the results if he won. That shows even he was surprised he won. What does he think of that rigged system now?
So while there are protests against Trump, there are supporters of his attacking and intimidating African-Americans, Muslims, and Latinos. It’s not just happening in our streets. It’s happening in our schools. Children are being intimidated for the color of their skin by other children whose parents are doing a bang-up job raising little racist bastards. Trump tweeted out that complaint about protesters “incited” by the media while ignoring his own inciting. He later tweeted support to the protesters and how wonderful it was they can express themselves. I’m thinking his team returned his Twitter account to him a bit too soon. If the guy’s Twitter account makes blood spill, what’s he going to do when he gets the nuclear codes?
I wasn’t sure how this cartoon would work with posting a photo in it. I did it a year ago, or maybe two years, for a cartoon I drew for The Daily Dot. I remember thinking that turned out really well, though I can’t remember what it was. I could look in my files but, eh. I’m lazy.
