The Republican boat went off the far Right falls a long time ago and was smashed to pieces against the MAGA rocks at the bottom. Cartoons like this are part of the debris that washed ashore.
Believe it — in some audiences this would be seen as an an appropriate and on-target cartoon. It’s amazing how, given the same information, people come to opposite conclusions. Such is the result of partisan propaganda. Expect to see it intensify through the coming months.
As opposed to Mr. Trump’s brilliant “new” catch phrase, “What have you got to lose?” His “perfect economy” is a smoking ruin. The national debt is now in the trillions, trillions with a T, brought to you by the party of “fiscal responsibility.” Americans are dying daily because he’s more concerned with his TV ratings than making sure they have good information about the scourge. The billions promised to help small businesses and the unemployed have yet to materialize – remember the aid promised to farmers who lost their markets under the trade wars? Unemployment numbers now surpass those of the Great Depression. And we lost all that in a mere three months.
“What have you got to lose?” I don’t know Mr. Trump. I’m awaiting your next flash of stable genius to tell me what you’re going to deprive me of next. The question should be stated more properly as “What else have you got to lose?” Or more appropriately, “What else can I take away from you?”
I believe this cartoon was originally published after the Titanic disaster as an ad for the White Star line depicting how dangerous the other shipping lines were.
It’s kind of strange that universal health care is seen as the ravings of the radical left. (Always remembering that it’s not “free” in any sense.)
And (ahem) the whole system of employment-based health care as we practice it here in the earthly paradise known as Trumpistan, which is a bad idea in the first place, is now seen to be a catastrophic failure. Folks on Medicare are going to be OK. Too bad for the rest of you suckers.
Wrong characters, wrong boat, wrong sign. Try putting the globe on the deck of the “Rethugican Queen” next to the “Far Right Falls”. Much more accurate, and frighteningly real. America is quickly becoming an example of emerging fascism to the world.

Trying to figure out why he thinks a boat piloted by the far left would be belching coal smoke. Hmmm

Of course, Payne continues to avoid any relevancy … How about COVID-19 and #45’s “assistance” in Detroit?

Well, it appears that the Democratic party will go off the cliff and crash into the GOP boat below.

Can tell how panicked the Trumpers are by how hard and often they try to claim that their opponents are crashing…

Hopefully for the Democrats, in 2024 Bernie will be to frail to run again, but they’ll probably have AOC to take his place.

The Biden boat is floating at least ten points above the Trump submarine.

What is so far-left about Bernie? What is he proposing that hasn’t already been done successfully in our country and other countries?

@ferddo above … Reasonable to guess that #45 is panicky … if he doesn’t get reelected, he gets indicted!

I would imagine Mr. Payne gets paid very well! He is one of a few who has readers from conservatives AND the way-out-liberals!!
