    Political cartoons are supposed to be clever and this is not. “9/11 was really bad. Trump is also really bad.” Wow… Never thought about it like that…

    And it’s in bad taste, using 9/11 almost as a punchline. Replace the twin towers with any tragedy and it’s the same “joke.” How about a cartoon in Uvalde? The kids can be wearing that text on their shirts.

    Agreeing with the message doesn’t blind me to how r/im14andthisisdeep this is. It’s just not a clever cartoon.
