Eric Allie for September 02, 2022

Yeah, we’ve got the definition of a Witch Hunt going on in this country.

Biden is the Chief Witch Hunter.

But, all the Evil Witches live in his head.

^^ But Allie does seem to appeal the the resident trolls.

GoComics has added a new loser to the right wing page.

I’m not impressed with your first offering for the political cartoon pages.

By the way, you might be interested to know that the primary family behind the witch trials, the Putnams, were conservative and in a long-standing feud with another family, the Porters, over land, money, and control.

“The Putnams were farmers, conservative, and disliked change…The Putnams and their camp wanted Rev. Samuel Parris, a conservative minister who did not tolerate unorthodox views on religion. They got their wish, but in 1691, just months before the hysteria burst, the Porter camp managed to take control of local affairs.”* That was the tipping point, and soon after that, witch hysteria began, led by the Rev. Parris.

Further research shows at the heart of the witch trials was the quest for power and control over the community of Salem Village (now Danvers, Massachusetts). Many of the girls accusing others of witchcraft were probably coached and promoted the “Big Lie” of the day, that there were witches among them.

Part of the elegance of a well-done political cartoon is that it satirizes a current item in the news. However, those cartoons also are built on factual information. Your witch trial cartoon today only shows your lack of research; whether from ignorance or laziness, I leave it to the other readers.

If she wears a t-shirt that reads “six million wasn’t enough” and invades the Capitol, she is a white supremacist.

Trump regalia and a tiki torch is a better indicator.

OH! Oh! Oh! Let me try.

If she drowns, she’s a groomer. If doesn’t drown she’s still a groomer.

If he drowns he’s a socialist. If he doesn’t drown he’s still a socialist.

How about: They’re teaching CRT. And if there is no evidence that they’re teaching CRT, they’re still teaching CRT.

Or…Trump won. If there is no evidence that he won, we’ll say he won any way.

I bet we can do this a lot longer with the right than with the left.

Gee, a bunch of White nationalists dunking a White supremacist? That’s some bad internal logic.

Time will tell if this RW cartoonist is also a NJ!

Alito is the one who referenced a"13th-century judge who endorsed human slavery and a 17th-century jurist who sentenced witches to execution and defended marital rape" to overturn Roe v Wade.
