I'll tip my hat to the new Constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again

Yeah
Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss

Is that not what this comic is saying?

Showing the blatant hypocrisy?

The comic shows a smaller govt and says that's bad for the poor.

The person to whom you're responding is saying Republicans actually create a bigger government that's worse for the poor.

They're spending less on social services and frittering it away on government bibles that only Trump sells.

See I saw it as an irony type thing where the artist is showing the blatant hypocrisy of the idea of govt so small it fits into every household.

Maybe I'm just overthinking it.

No the comic is showing the government is litterally small, implying welfare cuts. Reality is, any "cuts" are just going to be moved somewhere else. Not given back to the tax payers.

That's fair I just thought it was done to showcase the hypocrisy of a govt small enough to fit in your pants.
