| Topic | MAGA cartoonist Ben Garrison isn't feeling very well. |

So in the cartoon you have the "Tree of Liberty" admonishing Trump, who comes bearing "gifts" of pardons, vetoes, etc. (which is itself a whole different sordid discussion), that he should instead be leading a bloody revolt against the people who "stole" the election from him. Garrison also usually accompanies his cartoons with some paragraphs-long deranged diatribe when he publishes them, so here's the explanation from the horse's mouth (so to speak): If President Trump allows our election to be stolen by domestic criminals aided by foreign enemies, then our Republic is at an end. The voting process will become permanently corrupted. A sliver of billionaire and trillionaire elitists will control our elections and everything else. These are dark times and the Christmas star (Jupiter and Saturn aligned) portends an urgent need for action. President Trump has done some things such as his commendable vetoes of Pelosis pork-stuffed stimulus bill and the NDAA and massive defense spending.
