      Keep in mind a right wingers view of the left is like a Catholic’s view of satanism, agnosticism, and atheism. The assumption isn’t that the left wants fundamentally different things, the assumption is that the left wants different means to the same end, that end being a controlled world view. When right wingers create these things, they tell on themselves. They present what the left wants as simply being fully in opposition to their target audience thinks about. They view left and right as oppositional parties thirsty for control. It doesn’t matter if the reason the left defended Bill Clinton in the 90s was that impeachment should be used to curb illegal behavior, not for personal petty squabbles. That’s how the right uses impeachment trials, so that’s their presumption of what the left uses them for, too.

      As for the things the left does want but don’t appear here? These are things the right doesn’t conceive of as being actual aims. No public transit? That’s because they do not care about or think about it

      My critique of this artist is the most absurd thing he could think of was a statue of Bill Clinton getting a BJ. For real? Like give up. It’s not like a certain party idolizes racists and traitors and has erected statues of them across the US. Oh but they have horses, so they are legit.

      They hated Bill Clinton because the “scandal” was that he had consensual sex.

        Curiously when it came to Trump who had sex with thirteen-year-olds and a long history of sexually assaulting women, suddenly all but a few Republicans cared, including none of those in office.

          They said the scandal was that it was consensual not that it was not, so your examples aren’t the opposite.

          Though of course the power dynamics in the Clinton case makes the consent a bit iffy.

            For most of the population, the notion of non-consensual sex is considered worse than the notion of consensual sex. These days, we’re trying to even teach young adults to engage others opt-in rather than opt-out (e.g. get a yes first).

            But yes, this is very recent, with challenges to the criminality of wife-rape as recent as the 1970s (and the presumption that abuse within families was their business and not that of the state or of law-enforcement – that changed in the 1990s!)

            So yes, there are folks like Matt Walsh and Tucker Carlson who are literally pro-rape (that is, sex assault should be legal in some circumstances) and pro-child-marriage (Tennessee is trying to create a higher tier of marriage that gets more benefits, excludes gay couples but allows for marrying girl children.) So yes, some Republicans may hold more contempt for Clinton’s consensual proclivities than for Trump’s non-consensual ones.

            But more likely it’s because to Republicans, loyalty is more important than principal, and anything can be condoned if someone marches in lockstep and salutes snappily for the transnational white power movement.

        TBF there are Bill Clinton statues. One went up in 2009 on Bill Clinton Boulevard.

        Theres not much for Donald Trump so far, some anti-trump activist displays and a small gold statue at a CPAC event, and hopefully it stays that way for a good while.

        From Ms. Lewinsky’s position, it was wholly consensual, in that as a nineteen-year-old intern she got to have sex with a POTUS, and Clinton was not too creepy (for the nineties). Her problem was that once the encounter happened, the White House felt the need to distance her from Clinton which affected her career.

        The You’re Wrong About podcast did a good beeakdown of it all.

        But fucking a hooker is better than getting a blowjob?

        That’s not the point they made. It was because he lied. It was because he cheated on his wife. Yet trump full on pays for a hooker and no one gives a fuck. Even Dems voted to impeach Clinton.

    All this going on, and would you look at that, the very traditional looking couple in the middle look perfectly fine. In fact, they look pretty happy about life. As does everyone else. The horror.

    Edit: zoomed in a little more. I guess their supposed to be angry? I thought the guy was happy at first. Not sure what exactly they have to be angry about, as literally no one is doing anything to them.

      The horror indeed. Everybody seems happy. Although I’m concerned that the sheep can’t give proper consent. But if they’ve mastered cloning, maybe that sheep is more sapient and vocal than I’m assuming a sheep to be. Then a gain the simplest explanation is that consent is just a conservative blondspot. I’m also very concerned that there is a certain lack of diversity here, but that’s probably just another natural blindspot for the conservative artist.

      You know what else I don’t see in this picture? No homeless. No cops murdering citizens. No children being shot in school. No unregulated, untaxed, and unsafe drugs being sold on street corners. No surveillance on every corner. Obviously no shame about sex, but again I want to know how that sheep is able to consent.

          Don’t care he was cheating, and the fact he was president is only relevant to explain the imbalance of power. It was immoral because he abused his power; he was a boss who took advantage of his intern.

Also the government controlled, tax paid, abortion clinic has a sales sign, so it’s still charging even though taxes are paying for it? I mean, I could totally see the US doing this but, leftists would just have the national healthcare system pay for it with the taxes and leave it at that.

        Knowing the people who think like this, they probably imagine that is some sort of mobile lgbtq+ indoctrination center. Remember, any mention of people who are not straight and cis is pornography according to them.
