(1,474 posts)...that one either I didn't get, or it is not cool.

(47,586 posts)Not cool at all. It equates Hillary and Holder with neo-Nazis. That's quite a stretch.

I'm not sure how I feel about that cartoon, but it could be as you suggest.

(37,161 posts)...though the ambiguity is why I gave it a separate caption rather than just grouping it with the "mob" one above it.
The civility police always start pearl-clutching when Democrats speak strongly (and realistically) about Republicans. What is the result? Reasonable people digging in their heels and calling a spade a spade are painted as equivalent to Nazis and His Tangerine Foulness.
I admit, I'm not sure that was the artist's intent, but that's the angle I saw it from. Maybe it's an artifact of my perspective: I've passed over very many "incivility" cartoons precisely because of their lazy false equivalence. It's possible I was just so tired of it that I mentally put a different spin on this one, but I did add my spin to the post.
