    There has to be a better picture out there, but this is the best I found (after 2 minutes).

    P.S.: The events depicted in this cartoon are fictional and no conservative characters' fee-fees were actually hurt in its production. If there is any similarity between the people in the cartoon and actual government officials and conservative personalities, it was only intended for liberal consumption and for private mockery. We hope this doesn't hurt our chance to reach middle ground and have an honest and fact-based conversation with the right wing nutcases victims of liberal elitism.

    Once again, that is what passes for "funny" to you.
    This says so much more about you than it does about the people who are in the pictures.

    Sorry if you can't see the delicious irony of a Rachel Dolezal rising to a prominent position in the NAACP. Or Beto O'Rourke pretending to be Hispanic in Texas because he thinks it will garner votes. If these 1/1024th examples were isolated events and the Democrats didn't rely on identity politics it wouldn't be funny, but these aren't isolated events and identity politics seems to be the only trick in the Democrat playbook right now.

    Let me ask you a serious question, doesn’t a guy like Richard Blumenthal deserve ridicule when we gleefully mock Trump as ‘Captain Bone Spurs’?

    Rachel Dolezal is NOT a politician and has nothing whatsoever to do with the politicians.
    I have no idea what her politics are and I don't care. She is irrelevant to the conversation.
    Besides, she has been charged with felony fraud, so that pretty much casts doubt on her credibility anyway.

    Beto O'Rourke is not "pretending to be Hispanic." That is simply a lie.
    He was given a nickname when he was kid.
    I do not believe that he has ever claimed to be Hispanic.

    Answer to your "serious question":
    Richard Blumenthal said he served "during the Vietnam War in the Marines," (he was in the Marine Reserves), which is way different than laughing about avoiding service because of "bone spurs*" (and not knowing which foot had them) and saying having sex with lots of women and NOT catching a Sexually Transmitted Disease was his "Vietnam" (actually it was in a conversation with Howard Stern, but Trump agreed because he is just that dumb).

    By the way, I do think that Blumenthal should be called out for exaggerating his military record, and, guess what, little fishy?
    He has been called out and he has apologized.


    "Serious question" to you:
    What do you mean by "identity politics"?







    *For the record, bone spurs are really, really awful and if he had them, then he had a legitimate reason not to be in the military.

    Why is Rafael Cruz called Ted Cruz.

    Blumenthal better example would be Bush Jr.

    Both used the reserves to avoid serving in active duty.

    Clinton running to Canada is more comparable to Trump.

    What is identity politics? I thought it was obvious, but it is the tendency for people of a certain race, religion, sex, etc., to form political positions and affiliation solely on a single identity. The Democrats rely on identity politics, which explains some of their really silly policies and ever shifting positions.

    LOL! I could come up with much better examples for 1/1024th Republicans and I would mock them too.

    Unlike Beto, Ted Cruz doesn't have to pretend to be hispanic, his father was a Cuban refugee. Ted = Edward. You don't begrude Edward Kennedy for going by Ted, do you?

    Unlike Blumenthal, Bush didn't pretend to have served in Vietnam.

    Bill Clinton and Donald Trump are birds of a feather.

    To a class of white people the worst sort of race tratorism (yes I made that up) is to claim any non-white blood in your ancestry or associate too closely with other races.

    Y'know, "treason" is a perfectly good word and fits there just fine. No need to invent "traitorism."

    I know-- I commit race, class, and gender treason at almost every opportunity
