This week's comic: Makeover for a Takeover

#media #fascism #racism #journalism

@jensorensen iirc isn't this exactly how the kkk rebranded themselves as a 'respectable' org for much of the 20th century? they wanted to look nice and legitimate in the mainstream so they ditched the sheets (in public anyway) and started wearing suits
@chrisisgr8 @jensorensen The Daughters of the Confederacy come to mind,with their dedication of monuments and sponsorship of programs supporting white supremacy.
@chrisisgr8 Yes, ditching the sheets for suits is a good analogy, although I would say the kkk was somewhat less successful at rebranding.
@jensorensen This applies for the UK too.

@jensorensen

This just in: Propagandist Says Propaganda is Bad, Unless Funded by Patreon

@royaljim @jensorensen

No, fascism is bad, like a scab, like pus. Like diseased mucous.

@Jen Sorensen Spot on! That's exactly what has been happening in many countries, also in Europe.
@jensorensen We now have Epoch Times, which will publish your sophisticated β€œWP” op-ed. But this message is so right on!

@CWilbur @jensorensen

Why stoop to the Epoch Times when you can get in the New York Times and Washington Post?

@jonhendry @jensorensen Reading the last couple of issues of the NYT I kinda agree. πŸ™„
@jensorensen
Fake it 'til you take it. πŸ™ƒ
@jensorensen "CAN KEEP THE KHAKIS!" πŸ˜‚ 😭 πŸ’€
@jensorensen wow is that Lee Zeldin?
@WecanbeGyros Hmm, I didn't have him specifically in mind, but he could fit the bill.
@jensorensen Boosted for (regrettable) truth.

@jensorensen @APBBlue

OOooh! In a different world, I'd quote tweet this with Att'n #WashingtonPost. Kudos!!!

@jensorensen also replace "eliminate transgender people" with "eliminate transgender ideology", and don't forget to support Israel.
@jensorensen You left out getting a scoring agency to rank corporations on their degree of anti-wokeness. Otherwise, spot on! Right out of the left's playbook.
@jensorensen I just about spat out my margarita in the middle of this restaurant when I saw the crispy sock
@haliphax Glad someone noticed the sock!
@jensorensen NYT op-ed page editors: "What's your point?"
@jensorensen Jen so smart. Thx. Followed.
@jensorensen such trenchant and accurate criticism could never come from a cartoonist.

@jensorensen

This type of bullshit is known as scientific racism and anyone preaching this nonsense is a piece of shit.

@jensorensen

Your comic toot really brought out the blockable chuds. A public service, thank you.

@jensorensen I now see that the guy is giving a thumbs up in the last panel but at first I thought he had his hand tucked into his coat like Napoleon which also works
@jensorensen I love the cartoon, but unfortunately I don't find it funny

@jensorensen

"unlike cartoonists" haha!

@jensorensen You don't have to dress *well*. Nobody on the right knows what classic tailoring looks like, so just throw on a tight blazer and *call* it classic, you'll be fine.

@jensorensen Great comic!

I have to say that β€” for some reason β€” when I read the third panel, I thought the sign said β€œThe Texas Institute for Extremely Serious Thought”.

@jensorensen that's fantastic! Love it - the MAGA playbook in cartoon form.
