Mike Luckovich for February 11, 2024

Now the GOP are the monsters.

The GOP used to work to strengthen the union not divide and destroy it.

Unfortunately this could have been said of the GOP since the 1980s. Admittedly, it has ramped up many fold since 2016… but it was pretty d@mn bad then as well.

$1.5 trillion in tax cuts for corporations and billionaires. At $10 per meal, that would buy 150 billion meals, enough to eliminate hunger in America. Ask any Republican if they would support repealing the tax cuts to feed the hungry. I think you know the answer these “good Christians” would give you. Monsters.

Fun watching them self-destruct, though, and devolve into chaos.

Yes, but that was in the 1950s.

I’d be more scared of the people running the country because we know it’s not the President.

Thou shalt have no other monsters before me.

This monster has become Audrey in Little Shop of Horrors, growing more and more insatiable, eating everything it can.

Beautiful, Mike!

Sorry kid the Democrats are the monsters. And RINOs and the education department, and FDA, and the Justice Department. And so many more.

Either party can be viewed the monster. Most conservatives and many moderates see the progressives as the monster with the identity politics dividing the country. When liberal icons such as JK Rowling and Martina Navratilova are attacked for having ONE view differing from the tribe …

That was the old GOP…now we have the Quisling Party

It`s just amazing. The Dems are accusing the GOP of doing exactly what they are doing.

The last hundred political years is more like a thousand. Gee, thanks, GOP.

Putin blackmailed Traitor Trump with the kompromat he has on him. Traitor Trump’s handlers blackmailed a few members of the Godawful Obsolete Party (like threatening to out Lindsey Graham). The majority of the Republicans who back Traitor Trump in public are afraid of being primaried and/or hoping to inherit his cult. (And notice I said “in public”.)

Its the Trump Putin Party of anti American dictators now.

Now they are the monsters, and they don’t even try to hide it

Now you are the monster under my bed, and threatening my country.

The GOP never protected against monsters under the bed, they invented them to scare people.

Yup. That pretty much sums it up.

the GOP has ALWAYS preferred to make you afraid, uncertain and doubtful about your facts and yourself. Because people in that state tend to act conservative and the GOP has long been able to cloak themselves (quite falsely in some cases) as conservative.

The monster under the bed is not a Lincoln Republican.

And so many more

our pal jack describes the wingnut world view in a nutshell – so many things to fear and hate…

And still do.

Good 1 Mike

As noted before, during the 1950s the craziest Republicans (led by Joe McCarthy) were warning us about the Red Menace, and now they are the Red Menace.

They are especially monstrous.

The GQP has ALWAYS been the monster under the bed…they just used to be better at pretending they weren’t.

Once upon a time yes, or I seem to remember it being so in the 50s. Now I’m afraid I have to agree with the cartoon that they have become the monster. Not all of them, there are still a very few who are worthy of the name (and no, I don’t always agree with them or any other of the parties), but most of them, yes.

Geezer, I bet you believe that your tax money goes to blue states when the truth is that tax dollars tend to go from blue states to red ones. Taxes are necessary to have civilization. In the U.S., regressives have always propagandized that taxes are being used on “the other, those people you fear & dislike.
