This cartoon depicts a woman returning home as she walks through her front door holding a “No Kings Rally” sign. She speaks to her husband, who is watching television and says “I think he got the message.” The husband looks at the TV screen headline that reads, “White House demolition begins for king-size grand ballroom” and shows Donald Trump driving a bulldozer destroying part of the White House. The husband says, “Yeah, about that…”

This cartoon takes place at the front door of a house where a little girl has just answered the door. The comical figure at the door is a poorly-disguised group of men standing on each other’s shoulders with a trenchcoat, hat, fake mustache and glasses. They hold a clipboard and say, “Greetings resident offspring! We are merely a concerned citizen collecting signatures!” The little girl points at the figure and says, “Mom! It’s Republicans trying to pull another fast one with the redistricting maps!” The little girl’s dog growls at the figure.
