An image of a "TRUMP BURGER" restaurant with text reading: "Trump Burger has locations in Bellville, TX (979-270-5062); Flatonia, TX (361-865-3893); Kemah, TX (281-532-6305); and Houston, TX (346-718-2850). THEY HAVE REQUESTED THAT PEOPLE STOP CALLING AND ASKING IF THEY SERVE CHICKEN TACOS! Please don't do that!"
A tweet from weaselle that reads: "I've said it before and I'll say it again: what we want is for these things to be run like a HOUSEHOLD... a home. A household still has a budget and an income and resources to manage; all the moving parts are the same but the focus is different. A business will let every person in it die a terrible death if it makes the business profit. A household will spend its last dollar to keep the people in it safe and healthy. A household will use money as a resource to add value to the lives of the people in the household. A business will use people as a resource to add monetary value to the business. We don't want a government run like a business, we want a country run like a household. Because we live here."
A post from @theconcealedweapon, reading: "If you really care about preventing government tyranny, your number one priority must be making sure criminals have rights. And that's not a joke or an exaggeration. If criminals don't have rights, then all the government has to do is find some excuse to label people as criminals, and these people will not longer have rights. It's what literally every tyrannical government in all of history has done. If you believe that people who break the law should forfeit their rights, you're literlally as pro-tyranny as a person can get."
Above, a tweet from Donald Trump. Below, a graph. The tweet reads, "There will never have been a transformation of a Country like the transformation that is happening, for all to see, in the United States of America. Companies are pouring into our Country at levels never seen before, with Jobs (and Money!) to follow. It is a beautiful thing to watch!" The graph shows the S&P 500, NASDAQ, and DOW having lost 8.5%, 5.1%, and 3.3% respectively since Trump's inauguration. (They mostly held steady until mid-February and have lost almost all of that value since.)
Put trash (fascism) where it belongs.
A political cartoon send-up of the popular meme where a fella ignores his date to ogle the backside of a passer-by, only this time it's Trump ignoring The Statue of Liberty and admiring Hitler's backside as Hitler strolls past.
The Simpsons bus driver says "don't make me tap the sign" – the sign says "WHITE SUPREMACY"
A tweet and a response. At the top, @YoungCons writes: "Party like it's 1928! Republicans control the Senate, the House, a majority of Governorships, a Supreme Court pick, and the presidency. This hasn't happened since 1928." In the response, @thisisbrookeb writes: "do they know what happened in 1929"
A tweet by Donald Trump in November 2012 saying "If the Dow drops 1,000 points in two days the President should be impeached immediately!"
A Dr. Seuss Geisel illustration depicting two men with their beards interlaced, one whose jacket reads "AMERICA FIRST" and one who has a large swastika on his vest. The men stand on a stage below a banner reading, "The Great U.S. Sideshow." A carnival barker shouts to onlookers, "And on this platform, folks, those most perplexing people…the Lads with the Siamese Beard! unrelated by blood, they are joined in a manner that mystifies the mightiest minds in the land!"
Along with a photo of Hugo Drax @ChrisO_wiki Tweeted, "lan Fleming's original James Bond novels haven't aged well. For example, Moonraker, published almost exactly 70 years ago in April 1955, features a villain who's a super-rich industrialist and rocket-maker seeking to cause chaos because he's a secret Nazi. Such a silly idea!"
A smiling slender young white woman in a tee shirt that reads "White, straight, republican, male. How else can I piss you off today?"
A Threads post from @jelbertson, reading, in all-caps: "Imagine if someone moved this quick to do good tings for our country."
A screenshot of a Trump "Truth" reading: "The airplane was on a perfect and routine line of approach to the airport. The helicopter was going straight at the airplane for an extended period of time. It is a CLEAR NIGHT, the lights on the plane were blazing, why didn't the helicopter go up or down, or turn. Why didn't the control tower tell the helicopter what to do instead of asking if they saw the plane. This is a bad situation that looks like it should have been prevented. NOT GOOD!!!"

A Tweet from Kevin Clark (@bykevinclark) dated Nov 11, 2019 says "The Seahawks have literally never played in a normal game."
With the election safely behind them, voters begin to familiarize themselves with the issues. "Wait – tariffs do WHAT?" (political cartoon by Jon Richards)
