Political Satire

Where's the satire? All these memes and cartoons are literally just telling it the way it is.

 

Satire is based on truth.

 

Guessing: Thomas Jefferson ?

 

“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

 

Bullshit Reich-wing propaganda. Bass did NOT "divert millions from the fire fighting budget to the homeless"; that's an outright lie.

Bass' budget included a major boost in pay for the city’s 3,300 firefighters — four years of overdue raises and an array of other financial incentives — adding more than $53 million in additional salary costs. The budget also included $58 million for new firetrucks and other department purchases.

Once those two line items were added, the fire department’s operating budget actually grew by more than 7% compared to the prior fiscal year.
Did Mayor Karen Bass really cut the fire department budget?


“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.”
Malcom X

 

I don't think politics is satire right now. Our world is ready for change, and our country is part of that.

 

Satire is a part of it. When there's no political satire you're in a dictatorship. Yes, we could be headed that way.

 

Probably: James Danforth Quayle (/kweɪl/; born February 4, 1947) - an American retired politician who served as the 44th Vice President of the United States from 1989 to 1993 under President George H. W. Bush.

 

Dan Quayle's still alive goaty!

 

Someone asked who was the character in the lower left of the image. Pretty simple question.
