…or Democracy Gets It!

By mike flugennockMonday - December 3rd, 2018Categories: Party Animals, elections, media

Apropos of nothing, I suppose… just coming up for air after wrapping up a big-ass fun design gig for a friend’s cannabis start-up that’s launching next year – and seeing all the Donuts on Twitter, bitching about all the Leftists who aren’t voting Democratic, and often staying home altogether.

In case you haven’t noticed, the smell of 2020 is already in the air – the Left-punching Donut accounts are out punching the Left, the Sanders-punching Donuts are out punching Bernie, and they’re all out pimping the Democratic Party because… democracy. Basically, if you’re not voting Democratic, you hate Democracy™.

The Donuts are all real gung-ho for the exercise of democracy n’shit, but then when you actually vote your values, like vote Green or Socialist or something – that is, actually participate in friggin’ democracy – they get their panties in a twist because you didn’t vote for the goddamn Democrat, even though the Democrat in the race also sucked on toast.

The Democrats’ “Donut” Meme, Annotated

By mike flugennockSaturday - August 12th, 2017Categories: 2016 Election, Party Animals, Russiagate, elections, media

This cartoon was inspired by the latest in a series of lame, insipid Democratic Party memes in the tradition of “covfefe” and the immortal “Love Trumps Hate”.

This week, The Nation magazine published a bombshell article that basically blew the Democrats’ Russian Hacker conspiracy wankery clean out of the water. According to a team of IT experts and digital forensics specialists, there was no Russian hack at all, but a good old-fashioned home-grown leak, an inside job by somebody with a thumb drive or other portable media who simply copied the data in question and just walked out with it.

And if that wasn’t worthy of a “woo hoo” from those of us who aren’t cracked out of our minds, this curt, elegant editors’ note from The Nation made it even more delightful. I felt a disturbance in The Farce — as if a million Liberals cried out, and then were silent.
