Uh-oh. Trump has lost Ben Garrison!
In the past, Garrison has always drawn Trump as a broad-shouldered, muscular macho man. Now the mantle has passed, and Ron Desantis is the one drawn with the beefcake bod!
That must sting.

Evolution, development, and random biological ejaculations from a godless liberal
But wait, where are the transitional comics in which he acknowledges he was completely and utterly wrong about The Donald?
It would have been even better if it showed DeSantis kicking sand in Donald’s face on the beach.
Garrison needs to polish his style. Adolph and Benito would never have tolerated such sloppy drawings.
People like him are programmable bots. It doesn’t matter what they think now.
I’m assuming that’s the Post, but more generally the press is doing it all over again: blessing the worst fascist in the room with tons of adulatory press coverage.
They should be covering Whitmer’s win or Shapiro’s. Whitmer won in a rationally-districted state (is that the opposite of unfairly gerrymandered?) state. Shapiro also pulled out a strong win.
No, all the buzz is about DeSantis, basically ensuring we’ve got another Trump on our hands.
The full comic makes this an even stranger outlier for Garrison. Along with the “no longer friends with Trump, Desantis is now my best friend” energy, it also depicts Fetterman not in Ben’s usual way of making him look like Sloth from The Goonies, and it even has a grudging acknowledgment that he was wrong about the red-wave induced decimation of the Dems that he was expecting.
From a general lunatic like Garrison, I was honestly kind of flabbergasted when I first saw it.
He bragged that he was kicked off Facebook because of an anti-fluoride cartoon. I guess I’m not surprised, but that issue is old-hat by now. Dr.Strangelove was made in 1962!
Correct me if I’m wrong, but the only bright side to DeSatan is that he’s not as unstable as that Stupid Idiot.
@8
do you mean it is better that he is a very stable consistent dangerous asshole?
@9
That’s not what I meant. But you’re right about what you said about him.
@5 Is it time yet to stop blaming Dems for “poor messaging” and recognize that the media decides what people will hear about?
He’s still drawing Trump as slim, and a normal colour.
Hitler’s first name was Adolf. If you’re going to suggest familiarity by using his first name, why not get it right?
Trump had a lot of power but he squandered it because of his stupidity. If DeSantis can master Trump’s fascist leadership style, he’s much more dangerous because he’s smarter.
Very unlikely that he can. Trump’s chaotic, incoherent, transparently ignorant (to anyone knowledgeable) ranting is a feature not a bug as far as qualification as a fascist leader is concerned. People continue to grossly underestimate Trump. Sure, he’s grossly ignorant, lazy, and in some respects, unintelligent, but Otto Strasser’s description of Hitler fit him all too well:
By all accounts, De Santis lacks Turmp’s “charisma”. Of course neither in Hitler’s case, nor Trump’s, is it literally “the whole nation” that responds as the “Great Leader” would wish, and for most of those who do not, Trump’s very voice makes the skin crawl. But the fact that he won the nomination, the presidency (admittedly, only through the undemocratic electoral college) and for two years after his defeat has continued to hold the Republican Party in thrall, and dominate the national conversation, should tell us something.

I tend to agree with that florida man does not have the gift that the “dumpster” had and has honed it for years swindling banks and investors and “customers” but florida man is far crueler and heartless where dumpster just does not nor can not care fore anyone but himself. other people just are no concern other then a source of money and fame, live or die it is meaningless. Florida man has and will continue to engage in actively hurting people because he likes it.
