So the big accusation is that a centrist, moderate conservative-leaning Democrat President is in fact secretly the puppet of...two other centrist, moderate, conserative-leaning Democrats? (Just younger ones who are more coherent public speakers)?
People thought they were getting a moderate, and in fact they are getting....two moderates! Yes, well that's quite a scandal, I must say.
Seems clear it's about race - i.e. fear of black people having any power - as there seems to be no ideological point being made as there's no significant ideological difference 'twixt Biden and those two. If they'd wanted to make a (still paranoid and implausible, but non-racist) political accusation they could have opted for Sanders and AOC, maybe. Pelosi and Hilary would have been another option, given the latter's sheer unpopularity, though then it would be clearly about misogyny. Either way it's just stupid, as there's no evidence of Biden being anybody's "puppet".
it's amazing how racists like pc geek don't see the implicit racism in the evil, jigaboo-like expressions given to Obama and Harris. This cartoon crammed all of the anti-african, anti-semitic, anti-muslim iconography into those figures, all at once.
I mean, in no way do those look anything like Obama or Harris, or how they have EVER appeared anywhere in public, but racists like pc geek see that as a spitting image: because the clear, unmistakable intent that pulls from decades of specifically racist iconography is well established in his brain as "correct." He doesn't even have to know it. (e.g. this is how propaganda works). Seriously--let's challenge pc geek to find an actual picture of a snarling Obama or Harris. When you're raised on the myth of the "predatory black male" and "uppity black female," you look at this kind of thing and accept it as accurate.
pc geek doesn't understand it because it is normal to him. he doesn't have the type of education where he has been exposed to the history of this type of symbolism, and what it means, and how it is used as a weapon against his brain. It is extremely effective on people like him, because propaganda works really well. Educated people understand the history of these things, because you used our time in our various schools learning; not pretending that we were smarter than our teachers that only ever gave us Cs while we jacked off under our desks.
racists like pc geek don't understand the simple, obvious racism in this kind of propaganda because it is the type of work that has always appealed to them, because it reinforces what they already think. He doesn't have to be able to express, or even understand that directly, but his subconscious accepts it as right. racism is the foundation of his being, and you don't have to be able to acknowledge it or even accept it for it to absolutely be who you are.
and no, it's not "just satire." There is direct historical precedent to this kind of trash. It is racist trash created by a racist, only to appeal to racists. There really is no other argument to have there.
