This is a four-panel cartoon that begins with an image of a brutalized and shirtless African slave in the top-left corner. The slave has welts on his back from being whipped by a slave master nearby who holds a whip. The image gradually changes in the next frame and the welts on the slave’s back have become an American flag. The final frames show Donald Trump emerging with an American flag that he then uses to whip the slave.

This cartoon is set outside where two men are on deck drinking beer while one of them cooks on a grill. That man wears a red hat and says to the other man, “Same here. I voted for fascism, stagflation, and the decimation of our nation’s health, education, and global reputation. But I did it to protect my kids from pedophiles. Not to protect the pedophiles.”

This political cartoon depicts Donald Trump at the gates of heaven where he is greeted by St. Peter. A recent quote from Trump is at the top right of the image, it reads, “I want to try to get to heaven if possible. I hear I’m not doing too well.” There is a U.S. mailbox next to St. Peter who says to Trump, “Actually, we voted against you…We use mail-in ballots.”
