People are slamming this cartoon, but it is highlighting the past foreign policy stance of displaying Soft Power, which is a positive long-term objective to help rehabilitate America's image as militaristic.
But these dumb MAGA Apes think that's for pussies, and it's more fun to beat others into submission, undoing decades of any positive forward progress.
One of the reasons that the rest of the world hates us is because while we claim that we aren't all really as bad as MAGA, it rings hollow because we didn't do anything to avoid the MAGA threat a second time. Imagine what we would have thought if they had let Hitler escape punishment, and then regain power a few years later? Right now, that's what we look like to the rest of the world, and rightfully so.
If we ever want to restore any respect to this country, we will have to deal with MAGA decisively before this can be over. The rest of the world, and our own country, needs that.
That is a concept I struggle with, although I totally agree with you. But how do eliminate MAGA without resorting to fascism yourself? To be clear, MAGA needs to be eliminated. Just don’t know how.
Tolerance is a social contract. Those who would not grant it to others are not protected by it.
We don't have to tolerate the intolerant.
They are a proven, unapologetic, and ongoing National Security Threat, who have openly, demonstrably engaged in treason, sedition, insurrection, terrorism, extortion, espionage, corruption, pedophilia, murder, and more. We have all seen numerous examples of every one of those crimes.
All politicians take an oath to protect America from national security threats, foreign or domestic, and MAGA definitely falls under the category of domestic threat. Why shouldn't an organization like that be prohibited from existing, recruiting, and promoting?
By beating them to a pulp Mussolini style
