Michael Ramirez for December 26, 2021

Note: Elephants are not in an egg shell before their birth.

Barely out of Christmas and back to the stupid.

Already extinct is whatever the meaning of this cartoon was supposed to be.

Ramirez doesn’t change. Toss out RW tropes until something sticks. It never does. Factually, the GOP is the group on the road to extinction and they know it, which is why they are pulling out all the stops to try and maintain their dwindling hold on power through gerrymandering, disenfranchisement, and praying the judges the last occupant put in help them.

Marxist Disciple Democrats aren’t ever sorry for the LIES that they say, even when they know that each Marxist Disciple Democrat is being an ass. HeeHaw, HeeeHaww

That’s hilarious! The right elects a fascist dictator wannabe, pampers the wealthy with tax cuts, screws the blue collar worker over time and again (and somehow gets them to thank them for it), inspires an insurrection, destroys democracy daily, and is so close to party-fracture that you need white supremacists and Nazis to survive and you think the left is near extinction?

The right hasn’t won a majority of votes in a presidential election in the 21st century. Keep dreaming.

Abort! Abort! This “Life” not sustainable.

The “radical” left wants to help people.

The radical right wants to destroy democracy.

No comparison.

The fanciful far left is falling out of fashion. Time for the media to focus on the boring but competent establishment Democrats.

Another phantom menace to scare the ignorant and get them to vote against their own interests.

more like democracy slowly fading

America.. had a good run, but nothing stays the same forever.

In Europe, our “radical left” would be considered “Christian Democrats.”

If we had a real radical left, the argument would be whether to put the rich up against the wall, now, or save them as an emergency calorie reserve.

James 2:24

Hey Dipstick Cartoonist, I’m radical left, and I assure you, I AIN’T GOING ANYWHERE.

The Rabid Right will make us all extinct.

As opposed to the growing radicalization of the Right? Sure… #BlessYourHeart

We can only hope…!

The Radical right will be on trial on TV this spring.

I would expect this to be Mikes take on the current state of the Dem party. But, being more extreme progressive is something many of us Dems have hoped and longed for. And, I suspect, when the proper poll is used, the US population would be right in with a pro=progressive way of thinking. Afterall, a clear majority of our citizenry supports a woman’s right to choose.

What will go extinct is the Qanon and their ilk infiltrating America’s government!

I call myself radical because I try to get to the root of a problem rather than being content with half-measures and bandaid solutions. Reform usually improves things just enough to allow the status quo to stay in power, but it does nothing about the real problem. Too often the left has sold its birthright for a mess of pottage.

Conservatism is the by-product of fear. Liberalism is the by-product of optimism. Fear has the most robust foothold where learning is limited, xenophobia is present, and emotion rules the response. You can see the “fear” in posts and responses that are thrown around.

The exception to the conservatism/fear interconnection is power and control. There are those who realize they can consolidate power and rule through the use of fear. At least in this one particular area, they are smart enough to understand this association and exploit it.

The last President told us in his own frightening inauguration words (American carnage) that he was going to consolidate power and rule through fear. Fortunately, there were enough optimistic votes to limit this mountebank to one term.

“Hi! I’m Michael Ramirez and my I.Q. just continues to plummet!”

Keep thinking that.

While I HALF agree with Ramirez on this one (OMG! Has it come to this?), I also wish for the quick extinction of the Ultra-Right, which I consider far mor dangerous than the Radical Left.

Your mouth to God’s ears.

Huh! I didn’t know Donkeys hatched from eggs. How trite.

We can only hope.

We can only hope. Add the radical right, and we’ll have a really great year.

Here hoping that this does not take as long as the dinosaurs—— Only to the 2022 midterms.

To Rammy, anyone who is not las extreme right wing as Putin is “far left”

Well, I hope the radical right is also there at the precipice.

I like that Ramirez copied the image of the dinosaur-let still in the egg that was recently discovered. But he’s sure projecting HARD about which part of the political spectrum is on the road to extinction. Or lying…

Great ‘toon! Bye, Bye Rad-Libs! Let’s go, Brandon!

Only if White supremacists murder us. Which is, sadly, a distinct possibility.

Wishful thinking on parade.

“Radical left” is not a thing. Most of it is center-left. We did all that in the 30’s, 40’s 50’s and 60’s. The “rads” are on the right. Calling for the deaths of “dems”.
