Non-voters are feeling pretty proud these days too.

That isn't even counting the return to being a slaver nation-state.

We never stopped enslaving people. You just don't have to see it much

Nothing more elite than a (purported) billionaire.

Not a big fan of satirical drawings that have to spell everything out with text and labels. This is usually something the right does more but I don't like it even when I agree with the message.

I think the labels are important, otherwise a bunch of unlabeled private aircraft congregating could be confused for Epstein's island

In agree, probably would have put corporate logos on them which would get you the same effect without being so on the nose.

I'm saying maybe draw something else or use the same idea a slightly different way, a bit of subtlety helps make the reader think a bit and register the message better. Here in Europe I think it's generally seen as a bit lazy to use the labels (it's still done as well though).

Satirical drawings from all sides of the political spectrum have used labels for as long as satirical drawings have been a thing.

It's pretty close to being a defining feature of the art. As it goes this example is actually rather restrained, no sashes, no flying ribbons, no scrolls...

Have you seen how dumb us Americans are? We need obvious labels and stuff...

gestures broadly at everything
