One of the big universities did a study - I wish I remember which one - and they found that, by every scientific metric, the left really cannot meme. Still, this is clever.

How did they determine left / right ?Β
Did they ask them and then do a double blind study? Ideally, one does the metric and another interviews for personal information. Β

So:

A better one, yes. However, the similarities between Hitler and Trump are superficial at best. The only real commonality is their appeal to nationalism, which is not inherently bad, in and of itself.

I agree, there is little similarity between Hitler and Trump. (Hitler had more charismaΒ ) I do think his rallies sometimes look like something from aΒ Leni Riefenstahl movie.Β
Trump fails to understand or doesn't care about the Streisand effect, which I see as the main source of his bad press. Not the "fake news" he screeches about. Β

I think its kinda obvious JJ is a bit of a lefty as in I still have yet to see his critisms for the "Right" other than that small bit he did for article 13 he is definitely a tad bias in his sense of humor
Still love his art and he's inspired me quite a bit. Just some thing i have noticed
π: 0 β©: 1
I agree. Political cartoons by their nature will be biased. I would point out that JJ's political cartoons are mostly aimed specifically at Trump or Trumps followers. Insulting Trump upsets some people and is perceived as political bias.
I've pointed out elsewhere that Ben Garrison's political cartoons are hardly balanced. That the nature of political cartoons.
Have a nice day. Β Β

i love when people mention Ben Garrison who touts himself as a moderate and unbiased (seriously he says it on his own website) when his political cartoons display his true character as an individual that is absolutely terrified of everything

I've never visited Benny's web site but if he say's he is moderate and unbiased he is misleading (lying to) people. You cannot do political cartoons that are unbiased. Β

Art is a vent for some people after all. Its just all this time I thought JJ was a more... Indipendant? At least from what it looks like he's a center left cause he is still wildly offensive to everyone one way or another. Its apart of his charm. But this trump specific stuff has always been more different from the rest of his stuff
π: 0 β©: 1
The Trump specific stuff is aimed directly at Trump or his supporters. The furry smut could be intended to get in the face of femmi-fascists or SJW's but it's not aimed at any specific person(s).

You will find fanatical self-styled humorless, world-savers at both ends of the political teeter totter.
Some people think everything Marx said about Capitalism was true while everything he said about Socialism was false.
Translation: Some Capitalists are stupid meanies. Some Socialists are stupid meanies. Live with it. Β Β

well i do not have to hang myself up on marx. i merely point at literally any socialist nation that still thrives.....oh wait....
π: 0 β©: 1
If you want to get picky almost all nations are socialist to some degree. Somalia would be an example of a nation that definitely NOT socialist.
Just to clarify: in my late twenties I slid down the Ayn Rand rabbit hole and it took me several years to climb out. There are a lot of things that Rand had to say that I still agree with. The nature of selfishness would be one example. When someone accuses you of being selfish, you don't have to actually be harming someone, it frequently translates into they are mad because you are not doing what THEY want you to. This is why accusations of political incorrectness (from left or right) don't carry much weight with me.
Nuff said.
Have a nice day. Β Β Β Β Β

"leftists that lose their mind all the time"Β
Hyperbole is not your friend. Leftists don't "lose their minds all the time" any more than rightists. That's the problem with politics, it's largely nothing more than tribalism writ large.
Jollyjack's political cartoons are mostly aimed at Trump and his supporters specifically. He doesn't go after people in the US Senate or the House.
The fact is, politics aside, simply reading Trumps own tweets or actually listening to him talk makes many people regard him at best as a twit. Calling people childish names doesn't help either. To many he comes across as a retarded schoolyard bully.
It's not reasonable to expect people to trust a bully. The continuous screeching about "witch hunts" made him sound like Nixon on a bender.
Trump is perceived by many of his followers as giving the finger to the political establishment. Giving the finger may be why he is popular with some people and why some people get their panties in a twist whenever anybody, especially some limey, makes fun of the "Great Leader". This is why many people think Trump supporters are a bunch of fascists. Many of them do act like Hitler brown shirts. Trumps rally's are starting to look like something out of a Leni Riefenstahl movie.
In my view Congress is a cloven where almost all politicians are fucking Vampires or Werewolves and anybody who sees this as simply a left/right issue is deluded. NONE OF THESE ASS-HOLES ARE YOUR FRIEND!Β
