Post old-timey political cartoons.
Dante must die mode: They are about issues and historical events so removed from the current zeitgeist that people don't give a shit.

Damn, I can't believe Ben Garrison got away with drawing the nose like that. It's a bit too obvious.
Ian Cook
Horace Greeley was an old presidential who wrote a book called “What I Know About Farming.” As such, almost every political cartoon about him would feature a book named “What I Know About [X]” coming out of his pocket
I don’t know why it cracks me up so much, but it does
Christopher Myers
Christian Harris
Luis Gutierrez
How about something that's actually oddly relevant to the zeitgeist? 1919, right in the middle of the influenza pandemic, the US erupted into a string of violent race and labor riots referred to as The Red Summer (even though it lasted for almost 9 months).

This makes me feel some type of way desu

Why is populism bad?
Brayden Nelson
Jose Scott
Angel Ortiz
Interesting meme.
Ian Carter
I guess you could say it's a bit on the nose?
Evan Myers
Last one I’m posting, but you could fill a whole book with these

>Diogenes has found the honest man- Which is Diogenes and which is the honest man?
I really like that line. I'm saving it hoping to be able to use it some day.

The classic argument is that populism teeters on the edge of mob rule. Also populism sometimes generates terrible policy that is primarily designed to placate people rather than provide a real solution.

Eh, i just find the contextless ones to be way funnier, also i wanted to avoid the /polco/ experience
They unironically believed in bimetallism, also combining nativism and feminism.

i love these old political cartoons - from the hatching to the caricature work. It really shows skill - and is something I can appreciate about them even if I don't fully understand the time period.
Jack Roberts
They're right up there with Victorian/Edwardian medical illustrations IMO.

Here it's referring specifically to the People's Party, a major third-party that primarily represented farmers' interests.
Actually, the cartoon is a bit of a misnomer. By sharing the ticket with the Democrats in the 1896 election, the populists were the ones who got "swallowed". But Thomas Nast was not unbiased; he was a Republican and it's evident in many of his cartoons.

Because it stands for nothing

I like seeing old-timey cartooning styles used to portray modern events.

So yeah, i've been watching anti-Dreyfusard cartoons and apparently they hate Zola more than anything.
