This is almost an extremely apt criticism of America. The president offers up gifts to the tree of liberty, but the tree is twisted into a demonic, war like figure who demands blood instead of water. It is still adorned with the symbolism of freedom as it demands this. But of course, Garrison is more worms than brain at this point, so it's not actually clever at all, just nonsense
You're missing, I think, the most significant part of this comic: Ben drew trump's back and shoulders like he wasn't a power lifter
They made his shoulders smaller, making him look soft.
I definitely think there's something of an undercurrent of the dead enders saying something like "we are ready, why won't you give the word my lord?" Basically they claim they are ready to start a civil war for him and to "stop the steal" but won't do it until he gives the green light.
Jupiter + Saturn bit. I know why
could you enlighten me please?
i'm drawing a blank
Rare-ish astronomical event called a conjunction. Saturn and Jupiter appeared very close to each other in the night sky on Dec 21.
It's neat if you like star gazing and very significant if you like astrology or right-wing psycho occultism.
Same as what everyone else has already said, with the added detail that some people are saying that this event is the same "Christmas star" that appeared at Jesus' birth. Still not sure why it's in the cartoon. I guess because the tree of liberty says it's not a Christmas tree? And Trump is supposed to be the savior? But he's bringing presents like the wise men? IDK, Garrison's brain is a very strange place.
I know why I just can’t believe Ben thought that was relevant
seriously? This is like standard white schizo stuff, only libs don't know this
Fascist occultism has never made any sense to me
didn't need to type past that
He's calling out Trump for not starting a civil war, and he does it by not exaggerating his buttcheeks any longer.
One of those branches is definitely supposed to look like a gun and I haven't figured out why
I ask myself everyday if I regret driving the far-right insane with the posts.
The answer is still no. This will never stop being hilarious
you to me in 2033 while we're digging our own mass grave at gunpoint in the prison state of florida: "lmao these chuds are so fuckin mad"
Wow. Completely absurd scenario.
Florida will be underwater by then. The prisons will be in some western state out in the wilderness most likely
Description to go with it? I know he usually has a big screed to go with the image.
“The Tree of Liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.”
We’ve all heard this quote from Thomas Jefferson, but the tree hasn’t been watered much during the existence of our Republic. Especially these days, when citizens have become accustomed to accepting the abuse of tyrants.
Too many have accepted the outright theft of a presidential election by the Democrat Socialists or Bolsheviks or whatever they call themselves these days. They are the Corruptocrat Party being nominally led by an ancient and very corrupt politician with dementia. His party took over our education system and now they want to cancel our history. They’ve pulled down our statues while claiming America is hopelessly evil. they want our Republic destroyed. They want a ‘great reset’ to socialism and globalism.
Our money has been corrupted by the left-leaning Federal Reserve central bankers. Marxism has canceled our culture, our families, and our holidays by means of leveraging lies about a virus. Some, such as Bill Gates, want to cancel humanity altogether.
We can’t allow our Republic to go gently into that goodnight of socialism and corruption. We can’t stand by while our jobs, our liberties, and our elections are brazenly stolen from us. It’s time for action, not just grumbling, sloganeering, and ’trusting the plan.’ It is now time to use the Insurrection Act and arrest the traitors. Yes, that will inevitably lead to bloodshed, but the Tree of Liberty is thirsty.

Like printing trillions of dollars to keep the stock market afloat. Like a true leftist does.
There used to be a time when people like this were put in straight jackets. Now they're celebrated. What a time to be alive.
