Cartoon of the Week #4: How democrats view republicans.

The above post by Bill Day contains a big, fat, ugly hick with a T-Shirt that says Bigotry and a small American flag. The man talks about beating African Americans before and now have a much larger base of people to beat such as occupiers and Muslims. This combined with his bigotry displayed by his T-Shirt shows just how racist the man is. Next, Bill Day has the man talk about joining in on many different Republican debates and groups as though he is their hero. By doing so Bill Day implies that republicans romanticize discrimination and unequal opportunity and turn racist, bigoted red necks into heroes. Finally by attaching the nation’s symbol, the American Flag, as well as the all American phrase, "God bless America land of opportunity," Bill satirizes Republicans. The man, representing Bill Day's view of republicans, not only is racist; he also celebrates the racism practiced by Republicans by using the phrase "Land of opportunity" which is clearly the opposite of his vision of America. The Artist uses overshadowing to make the man look more rustic and hard to look at discouraging people from associating with him. Next he uses the over exaggerated smile to display just how overjoyed the man is that he is viewed as a hero for being a racist. Thus, the cartoon is merely Bill Day expressing his disdain of the republicans in America.
