A Cartoon Look at Red-Blooded Republicans
š¤”Who needs kompromat when you've got tribal fealty?
I know, I know, I got a little sick of all the Russia/Trump stuff during the last two presidential elections, too.
But itās back. And thereās more of it.
Remember back when doing Russiaās bidding meant extorting Ukraine over the phone?
That seems almost quaint now.
Now the leader of the Republican party says he would welcome a Russian invasion of NATO countries, Trump sycophants in the U.S. Congress want to cut Ukraine loose and top Republicans knowingly spread Russian disinformation in an attempt to smear (and impeach) Joe Biden.
Whether or not there is kompromat throughout the Republican Party, fealty to Trump now means fealty to Russia ā and more specifically, Vladimir Putin.
Now itās a tribal thing.
If you want to show your allegiance to Trump, youād better support Russia over Ukraine and be willing to disseminate the latest anti-Biden conspiracy theory, no matter how shadowy the source.
And if you really want to please the Defendant-in-Chief, broadcast propaganda on Fox News about the magical wonders of Russia, particularly when compared to the apocalyptic hellhole that is the United States.
Itās not just a rematch between Trump and Biden, this election is replaying the very same themes that started way back in 2016, but on steroids.
In other news . . .
This cartoon rolled along so quickly that I didnāt have a chance to post any early audio or sketches. Iāll be posting more of that very soon, keep your eyes peeled!
In the meantime, hereās one from a little while back.
