So how long do you think it will be before they come after peoples guns. Think about it , now that the stuff Trump is doing is going to affect his base ..............sooner or later even they will start to see they were lied to .
I keep seeing nonsense like this on my wall-although it’s getting to be fewer and fewer as the morons spewing this bile block me-and I just wonder what on Earth you think it’s accomplishing?
It’s changing nothing and just making you look like deranged losers.
But all the Orwellian things have been happening for the last 4 years at least. The government has been used to control speech and silence people that don't agree. Then cancelling people and ruining their lives for not towing the company line.
Oh, baby doll you have been indoctrinated. I pity you, I do. Mental delusions don't determine if you are a man or a woman. Your sex does. Those are the facts.
And that is exactly why sex change surgery exists. To physically and chemically alter the sex. The fact that you won't accept that modern medicine can provide these transformations is a you problem. It means you are out of touch.
This White German woman took melanin to darken her skin so that she could pass as Black. So you accept her as the woman she was born as, or the woman she identifies as and had done the work to cosmetically change?
Dear Supreme Court. You created a monster who will terminate your jobs. Trump posted this: "He who saves his country does not violate any law." Maybe consider taking unemployment? This is your fault!
From my understanding Orwell wasn't the most politically coherent. Probably because he hated authoritarianism regardless of if it was right leaning or left but he sure was good at showing us its faults. I've read 1984 a few times and it's always impactful. Animal farm less so, but it's still great
Orwell did not support those abominable right wing policies, he just tried to warn his readers against totalitarian regimes Don't use his name as if he backed them
That last quote on the right, fascism equals freedom.
Every MAGAt yelling about Harris and warning Americans used fascism, communist, every anti democratic slur without any evidence. Now here we ACTUALLY are and suddenly the water is nice for them. Good riddens.
Here's a call out to Liz Cheney and Adam Kensinger. The Republican party could stand again for people and the Constitution. A party that cares about America, not their to save their own asses. Stelly eyed to the oath they take to the Constitution and say no to tyranny and rule by one man, hurray.
Who should fix what? Why are all the kids from the small towns still moving away from their home town? Stop blaming others and ask what you can do to help everyone around you.
Blue States are in decline! Blues States are not a place to raise your family, go to Church and School, or even work. Public Transportation is not safe, one risks their lives taking BART and the NYC Subway, you know that. There is a lot you know that is true but refuse to admit it in public.
BLM and ANTIFA are both good things though. The lie that the GOP tries selling is that either of them mean “hatred of / discrimination against white people”.
It’s the good old argument of:
“I don’t like
- blm
- antifa
- leftists
- foreigners
- diversity in the media
- Jews
- …
therefore they must all be one and the same”
Exactly, a lot of these cartoons or commentary is wrong. Oh no, it's 1984 or Handmaid's Tale. Just stop equating things with media and start coming up with solutions shit like this makes the working class look weak...
Don't forget that they are doing all this just to distract from the fact they are pushing a $4.5 trillion dollar tax cut, of which over $2 trillion goes to the top 5%
What is their motivation? Having a tiny bit of power under an almighty ruler they are obliged to fawn over like imbeciles.
Are they that pathetically subservient?
They have all been threatened to be quiet or else they will be primaried in their home districts, funded by Billionaire Oligarchs.
Citizen's United took out all of the safeties in campaign finance, so they are screwed.
They dont want to give up the gravy train, so they do nothing.
I read it last September. It was pretty wacky how well it captured our current situation, and oddly comforting to know this is all just a phenomenon of humans. You kind of think people evolve, but not really.
They hate Antifa because Antifa punches Neo-Nazis and more other radical and progressive things. So they have labelled Antifa as the "intolerant left" a violent group of young people, almost like..."thugs". So that's why BLM=ANTIFA
I think I've finally gotten past the point of "some of them are just ignorant - it's not their fault, he's very charismatic." Anyone who can look at what's going on and still support him is just a piece of shit or irredeemably stupid.
Like, it's unethical to assume that people are just these blank slates to be impressed upon. We all make our choices and we all have access to information in today's society.
Note: yes, there is digital divide with some places having no access to the Internet in the US. However, this statistic does not account for the population which supports Trump.
They are being told that the Dems are getting what they deserve and their tax dollars spared. Throw in some big words the base doesn’t know to confuse them from questioning it. Keep rambling so they tune out bc you’re full of 💩. Throw in positive buzzwords towards the end so they feel good.
I was unfortunate enough to see the 1954 animated George Orwell’s Animal Farm movie. My older sister was told to watch it for a high school class in the early 60’s. Since it was animated, I expected it to be a children’s story. I couldn’t have been more wrong and I think it scarred me for life.
I had to read the book in my 9th grade English class late 80s). My teacher told us about that movie and said there was no way the school would approve her to show it.
DC Comics already did this in the 1960s with a series of comics called Bizarro World where everyone and everything was ass backwards and upside down with bad being good, etc.
Hey just because you disagree doesn't mean that you get to pretend you're correct. You're likely being proven incorrect, and refuse to see it. Then you get called a name, for being stupid.
erm actually, orwell's 1984 is less about a dystopian dictatorship where you're always watched and more about the manipulative use of language to invade one's thoughts and control them from the inside. it's Newspeak, Doublethink, and the dependency of the individual on the state to know what's true.
Orwell was himself a socialist.
He wrote the book as a warning to watch out for fake socialist who are all talk, but once in power show they were actually fascists acting as if they cared about the poor and the workers.
It’s also why German fascists called themselves national “””socialists”””.
EVERY socialist movement turns into fascism/communism/tyranny. It's what happens when you abolish private property rights and enslave the working class to a central government.
Can I explain...? So, private property, is business, you don't want to be a slave to a business, so you own the business, they are NOT talking about an individual's property. The only reason why people starved in communist China, was that Mao got rid of some birds that ate bugs.
Basically, you, the proletariat, get more money, because you don't have someone hoarding greed like a pig, yes, they have families, but, they have hundreds of workers who also may have families to provide for, more than the minimum they get paid.
Bro, COMMUNISM doesn't even abolish private property let alone socialism. It abolishes private ownership of the means of production so some rich chud can't hoard wealth and necessities.
You are confusing personal property with private property. The working class right now is enslaved under capitalism. We are right now living under fascism and tyranny due to effects of end stage capitalism. Fascism and socialism/communism are opposites-very Orwellian of you to confuse the two.
No, you are changing definitions to support your theft of productive people.
If I buy a factory with my money/credit, it is my personal property. If I hire you to perform work, you do not get to claim any ownership of MY PROPERTY.
“Theft of productive people”
Now who is changing definitions? You literally just called people buying factory as ‘productive people’, while admitting that the actual production is done by the people those people hire.
Buying factories and being productive are not the same thing. Nice try though
Socialism is supposed to turn into communism. That's actually the point. Fascism is actually a far-RIGHT ideology and is the end result of capitalism. You need to put down the propaganda.
A lot of these aren’t Orwellian-style opposites, the artist/author could have made much stronger points. For context, the original mottos in 1984 were: “Freedom is Slavery, War is Peace, Ignorance is Strength”
I see your point, but they’re trying to make the point for lay people who may not know the reference. Criticism of resistance that isn’t “enough” isn’t helpful right now. We need to be building a bigger vernacular of resistance right now.
These people who come out of the woodwork to correct the punctuation in statements of opposition to the current regime are either fools or trolls; don't give them more thought. There are still paid disinformation agents in our public spaces. I ignore them.
Trying to understand your point, I think you are say that cartoon is effective resistance and that anyone speculating that it’s ineffective or doesn’t quite the point are agents of disinformation. Is that a correct assessment of your statement? If so, I’m at a loss at how you came to assumption.
The point will be lost on lay people if they try to paint, for example, BLM = Antifa as opposites. Stronger, more Orwellian-type examples make a more obvious point. The only good example in the cartoon is “fascism =freedom”
That we did. The GOP convinced their base that “Antifa” meant “scary-sounding foreign terrorist group”, and not the literal definition of Anti-Fascist.
It also assumes 2+2=5 Perhaps the substance isn't the thing to draw attention to. It will simply drag you into the muck. it's an issue of the greater messaging strategy which this cartoon does an excellent job demonstrating. accepting half truths leads to accepting full lies!
Counterpoint: this political cartoon makes the classic centrist error of conceding that the extremists might have a good point about something and are arguing in good faith.
He would, of course, say 'people' rather than 'animals'. But I don't think it would shock anyone to hear him spout Napoleon's dictum: "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others."
Years passed. The seasons came and went, the short animal lives fled by. A time came when there was no one who remembered the old days before the Rebellion, except Clover, Benjamin, Moses the raven, and a number of the pigs.
I've read 1984 and ANIMAL FARM many, many times. I rarely listen to audiobooks, but I've just listened to both in my car over the last few weeks. The prescience of what George Orwell wrote (in both) is absolutely chilling and listening to them made me deeply internalize in a way I never have before.
Footnote: My 5th grade teacher read to us for an hour every day after lunch. One book was ANIMAL FARM. (Wyoming, late 70s.) I kept thinking while listening to it in 2025 how outrageous ("woke" FFS) it would be to expose ten-year-olds to Orwell now that it's all real life and not cautionary.
So tired of everyone who's never met a single animal besides cats and dogs, comparing Trump to pigs. They're one of the most intelligent animals on earth & the #1 most abused and misunderstood!
Why compare humans to pigs when man is the most disgusting and barbaric of all animals?
And before you tell me it's a book reference, yes, I know, I also read animal farm in highschool. Everyone from a Blue state did. Orwell was wrong in his portrayal of pigs and we've all been seeing countless Trump × pig faces lately on here
This is the most backward logic I’ve ever seen. Animal Farm is a book about the evil of socialist and Marxist philosophy. The Trump administration has thus far dismantled government reach…they’ve done the opposite of what fascism or a communist government would do.

No wonder they have such an issue with Antifa🧐
It’s changing nothing and just making you look like deranged losers.
All very unedifying.
This can't be what you actually believe.
You're just wrong.
Corporation = Person
That's not what irony is, li'l guy.
You're not qualified to pass medical judgements, so just stop being an asshole.
Just stop
It’s an insult to pigs who are humans number one victim in slaughter
Just stop this shit
That’s why it’s called a balance.

Immigrants = scary
Women = scary
Science = scary
Education = waste

I'm antifa.

Freedom is Slavery
Ignorance is Strength. "
Pretty much captures the republican party ideals perfectly
Phenomenally lame.
Who is Snowball?
GET BACK TO US!
"Facism is Freedom."
"Ignorance is strength."
trump calls anyone woke in the same manner as putin calls anyone interagent 🤕
Animal farm reference
“I don’t like

- foreigners
- diversity in the media
- Jews
- …
therefore they must all be one and the same”
4legs good 2 legs better? I think not! Time to make some ham out of these porkers!
seems pathetic
Orwell would roll over in his grave at how prescient “1984” was and is.
Freedom is Slavery.
Ignorance is Strength.
Great minds, and all that!
And FUCK TRUMP!
Fuck MAGAs!
They're doing all this to stay in power forever. And by now many of them need to because treason is surely on the cards.
The tax cuts will be known, no matter how many distractions they produce.
Are they that pathetically subservient?
Citizen's United took out all of the safeties in campaign finance, so they are screwed.
They dont want to give up the gravy train, so they do nothing.
Antifa = fascists
Fascism = Freedom
Yeah ok, so BLM = Freedom, anyway that was the original point
💀💀💀
Are you sure ?
🤣🤣🤣
Of course it is.
Just saying the orwellian trend nowadays is "antifa are the real Fa"

Disagreeing with a Democrat = You’re a racist/sexist/bigot/fascist/etc.
Try harder to understand.

Now you see.
Animal Farm

Thank you for your thoughtful post. ❤️
Ugh.
