10. Yes, I have a rebuttal

Hi KS,

In addition to stating that Stiglich is MAGA, I criticized the content of this specific Stiglich cartoon, which falsely implies that the MSM is responsible for the attempted assassination of Trump, by allegedly repeating over and over, a la Bart Simpson at the chalkboard, the supposedly false narrative that Trump is the equivalent of Hitler.

In other words, Stiglich is ridiculing the idea that Trump's Hitlerian rhetoric poses a threat to our democracy, and ridiculing the MSM for allegedly repeating Trump/Hitler comparisons ad nauseam. I disagree with both premises of the cartoon, because Trump IS comparable to Hitler, and the MSM is NOT doing its job of focusing on the danger Trump's fascist MAGA movement poses to all of us.

Do you see my point, KS?

If any other cartoonist you mentioned had drawn that right wing message, my response would have been the same. The examples by Clay Jones, Rogers, and Hall that you provided are not right wing cartoons in the same vein as Stiglich's Simpson's cartoon. The Jones and Rogers cartoons ridicule J.D. Vance- not the MSM- for flip flopping from Vance's earlier, correct view of Trump as Hitlerian. And the Hall cartoon correctly illustrates Trump's admiration for the fawning obeisance that Hitler and other dictators have obtained from their cult followers. Your counter examples are not right wing cartoons. They are truthful- and funny.

Thanks for all the other great cartoons you've posted. I hope you don't think I'm ungrateful.
I'm just pointing out something you may have missed.
