Michael Ramirez for April 12, 2021

Who was it again that bought into the lie about election fraud so they could pass legislation to disenfranchise minority voters?

(Hint: not the Left)

If you’re wondering why I bring it up, it didn’t seem like there was any specific point or topic to this cartoon, so I figured I’d throw something out there.

I suppose Ramirez intends this to be criticism of some leftists, but he’s drawn the arrow heading to the speaker’s right, and his shirt is MAGA-hat red. While his opposite has a solid-state blue shirt. Major Freudian slip here?

He’s got a goatee, is it supposed to be Cruz?

The characters Ramirez draws are usually so squished sideways. Is it supposed to display narrow-mindedness? He may have his artistic pretensions toward the style of El Greco, but his message is usually annoyingly vapid, IMO.

Great description of today’s GOP!

Manipulative cowards! First the blacks, then the gays… Now they are using Trans people as the new bogeyman! The most vulnerable people in society today…

The Right believes we should all (except the .01%) be united as one class… serfs.

Come on Ramirez, you can do better than this.

Republicans like to keep it simple. Divide people by race.

Who is the man in the red sweater?

ALL LIVES MATTER. It’s not rocket science.

Because Trump brought us together LOL.

Notice that they are wearing RED, cause Ramirez know that is the policy of the GOP.

All the MAGA redshirts wearing their right hand facing arrows……

Karma! It will be years before all these dumbass trumpers are gone but mean while we need to stay on the road to unity, as Americans. There’s no fixing stupid…it is what it is….funny, how all the ones who want the states to fully open so they could live their lives as they want, are the very ones who refuse to wear masks and spread the virus to everyone else. Selfish, ignorant bastards!

Which party includes more of the segments of or electorate?

Is it even worth a critique? Okay, just a hint. Women earn less than men for the same jobs. The left would like to see that division end. The historical division between the races in the US is so profound that I hope even Ramirez can see it. The left has been consistently working to reduce that division for many decades, and some on the left even gave their lives in that struggle. The right has consistently opposed measures that would reduce that division. The left believes that all people of all sexual orientations should be treated fairly and equally. And so on and so on. Here’s the deal. If you want to reduce divisions, you have to recognize the divisions that are there. If you want to reduce racial discrimination, you have to recognize and name the kinds of discrimination that exist. People like Ramirez like to pretend that discrimination goes away if you don’t name it. They probably don’t really believe that, but it’s a good excuse for doing nothing and for shifting the blame onto the victims.

The right has been doing this for many years. To them the only real Americans are White Anglo-Saxon Protestants. The rest are interlopers and posers who are sponging off the system and need to know their place.

Can’t we agree this age of divisiveness helps no one?

Republicans are sexist, republicans are racist, republicans hate gays and trans, Republicans love the rich and hate the poor, most republicans are old people on their death beds, the republican racist south is trying to rise again with republican help, Republicans hate democracy and they want to stop black people from voting.

Ramirez describes the covid spreading anti mask republican party perfectly.

Yep, the reds want division… but accuse the blues of being divisive when they try to bring people together…

Left. Or else.

Everyone is trying to cancel the right wing racism culture.

Proud Boy begs judge not to send him back to jail where other Capitol rioters are getting beaten up

The legal team for the self-professed “Sergeant of Arms” of the far-right group Proud Boys is asking a federal judge not to send their client to jail, partly because other people charged and convicted for partaking in the storming of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 have allegedly been the target of abuse behind bars, Law&Crime reports.

Lawyers for 30-year-old Ethan Nordean cited recent reports detailing alleged assaults and poor treatment of Capitol riot defendants by jail guards. Insider points out that the POLITICO article detailed one defendant’s claim that another defendant “was severely beaten by correctional officers” and is now blind in one eye with a “skull fracture and detached retina.”

Cops Shut Down ‘White Lives Matter’ Rally in Huntington Beach That Turned Violent In 90 Minutes

Black Lives Matter counter-protesters far outnumbered the white nationalists that gathered near Huntington Beach pier for the rally, which started at 1 p.m. local time. After some arrests, cops declared the event an unlawful assembly by 2:30 p.m. and ordered the “unruly crowd” to disperse.

“E pluribus Unum” – Out of many, one.

Both sides want unity, but it doesn’t mean we are or should be identical.

The GOP Leadershit chasm is between the “haves” (1%) and the “have-nots” (99%), AKA “those who do not pay their fair share of taxes” (1%) and “those who pay far more than their fair share of taxes AND have to do all the heavy lifting” (99%).

The GOP Leadershit pragmatists pay homage to the 1%, for therein lies the wellspring of GOP Leadershit campaign contributions, complete with strings aplenty.

But the Guys chanting “Hang Mike Pence” are Uniters ? well maybe, we ALL hate Mike Pence

Speaking of divisiveness, check out Mr. Ramirez’ standard portrait of Barack Obama. It is at the top of the left-hand column.

Maybe he’s starting to catch on…

Ramirez nailed it

If only the right would stop dividing, such as bringing back the new disapproved Jim Crow laws.

Seven conservative talking heads spouting their opinions on the left. The single image of the left asks for unity.

This is Ramirez’ evidence for liberal divisivness. “It’s true because Fox News told me so!”

Not an accident. Mike is a little ahead of you.

Great cartoon, Ramirez! You know it is spot on when the lefty peanut section leave their normal drivel comments in an attempt to keep their heads from popping off
