Is the Trojan Horse comic funny? TomSlick Aug 2024 #11
Some editorial cartoons are not meant to be funny but thought provoking KS Toronado Aug 2024 #12
I've questioned, pondered, thought, and wondered. The answer is always the same. TomSlick Aug 2024 #13
Cartoonist is a liberal, doubt if he was putting her down KS Toronado Aug 2024 #14
You "gather" in error by assuming anyone who disagrees with you is a secret Rethuglican. TomSlick Aug 2024 #16
Only thing I'm assuming is you think the cartoonist was implying radical somehow KS Toronado Aug 2024 #17
I'm suggesting that political cartoons are not a form of communication requiring complex analysis. TomSlick Aug 2024 #19
That's how I interpreted the cartoon too. arkielib Aug 2024 #20

away from repugs by using them more often, after Tim Walz's speech tonight we can start telling repugs
"He tells it like it is !"

The meaning is clear - that Harris is a Trojan Horse for radical ideology.

Neither funny nor thought provoking.

I took it as a progressive approaching moderates carefully, maybe with stealth?
I see no radical ideology , plus she's not trying to kill people in her own party.
You not happy with Harris since she has a "radical ideology"?

Maybe we should be questioning, pondering, thinking, & wondering if it is wise to have someone with
such a radical ideology at the top of the Democratic ticket. I gather you might not enjoy voting
for people with "radical ideologies".

My politics are fairly called radical but I'm not running for President and the word doesn't hurt. In a close election, Trump is trying to label VP Harris as a radical. The cartoonist, however liberal, seems to agree.

because you used the word and the cartoonist never did. And I'd appreciate it if you don't like a
cartoon to just keep your opinions to yourself. There must be a lot of cartoons you don't like
because I notice you have never hit the rec button on any of my posts.

Time for a vacation from those who don't appreciate my time and effort I put into these.

They mean what they appear to mean. The cartoon appears to mean that the Democrats are hiding something. It may be that the artist believes that it's a good thing the Democrats are hiding something but the message is still the same.

Your meme is cute. An ad hominem but cute.

Trying to attract moderates while hiding what we really are.
