This cartoon depicts a man outside in what looks like a disaster area. There’s a tree cut in half, household appliances broken and strewn about and a discarded couch. A box labeled “FEMA Aid” is open. The man holds a red hat and reads a piece of paper that says, “Due to budget cuts, all we can provide you is this red hat.”

This cartoon depicts two donkeys. The donkey on the left wears a sweater that reads “Traditional Democrat” and says “I think Gavin Newsom’s campaign is quite smarmy! What do you think?” The donkey on the left looks younger, wears a backwards hat and looks at a cell phone. He says, “I think he’s got my vote!”
