    Over a hundred years later and libs are still willfully missing the point of what is a very, very straightforward piece of political commentary. No wonder they need to stick labels all over their political cartoons.

      "Ebenezer Scrooge McDuck was actually a good guy and the three ghosts of Christmas terrorized him into becoming a bad one" is a shit-take almost as old as the original Christmas Carol fiction. I am willing to bet an edition of the Economist published a contrarian take within no less than a year of its publication.

      Like, half the fun of taking such a contrarian stance is to get attention because it is so blatantly and ham-fistedly obtuse.
