Did you watch the whole movie this is based upon? Did you remember how Thelma and Louise got to that point where they felt it was their best and only option? If you think politics in what used to be this great nation has gotten to the state where these people who represent many people who feel as they do need to make a statement and a stand then you could show this cartoon with more clarity. If however, you’ve forgotten that part of the movie or just ignored it then this is denegrating them for making a stand, and you’re mocking them and the voices of the people they were elected to represent and who think there is a better way to do things for them (whether you agree or disagree as is clearly your right) then you’ve gone against several of the founding principles of this nation. Ignoring, disparaging, and mocking differing views and sticking to the same old, same old is how people have turned America into an oligarchy (“a small group of people having control of a country, organization, or institution”). And that’s why we’re in the crappy state we’re in now. And why much of our nation and other countries outright dispise us. In other words, that’s a really a-hole thing to do. They and they people they were duly elected to represent have a voice and the right to be listened to (again agree to it or disagree but you have to listen and hopefully consider what others say and how they feel). Everybody has the right to speak their mind and be heard. Mock that and you mock every damned thing that America is supposed to stand for and I’d spit in the face of anyone who’d do that in a heartbeat. To intimate that they’re speaking for differing views is foolish or suicidal is to say not to speak except to only keep in tow with the status quo is just more BS. Ya don’t get to mock the most basic tenet of democracy. So please make it clear where you stand. These Americans do that. They exercise that right.
