Riot control agents known as “tear gas” cause crying, sneezing, coughing, difficulty breathing, and temporary (hopefully) blindness. Their use in warfare is prohibited by international treaty, but it’s fine to use on your own citizens. And street medics who help people overcome the effects of such gases get arrested by riot police so fast it will make your head spin.
If you have ever said any of these things seriously, if you’re saying them now, or especially if you’re the President saying these things, it is past time for you to shut your big TRAP.
This one gave me some trouble. I was originally planning to draw something from the protests at the 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago, and the ensuing Police Riot. But it didn’t sit right somehow.
Then in September I got into a Facebook argument and a “friend” called me and people like me “snowflakes” when we criticized the President for his bullying, racism, and…well, everything. I said then, and I still think, that the only way to make our country better in this election is for all the snowflakes to combine forces into a massive blizzard, which causes an avalanche (a landslide, if you will) that sweeps away this administration and the hateful ideas it promulgates.
Be a snowflake. Winter is coming.
