    Hi there, just wanted to mention that visual texts are quite prevalent in rhetorical media (e: of which political cartoons are very much a part despite your strange assertion.) Thank you for considering this perspective. I would appreciate it if you could provide evidence from the visual text or another source to support any alternative interpretations.

    An example of my perception: in a political cartoon, a white guy wearing a red MAGA hat might be perceived as representing Trump supporters. There would need to be considerable evidence for me to believe that such a symbol represented a specific subset of that group, of such a kind at least that I do not see here.

    I may not engage in further answers to your questions until I receive a response addressing the evidence provided. Thank you for understanding, and I value your perspective.

    Edit: I do see that you blocked me. So, that’s excellent :/

      Your link has nothing to do with political cartoons. Could you be any more smarmy disingenuous or obvious. You can’t even defend what you said. Nor can you admit it. Worse you resort to lemmygrad posting and making shit up. Proving that you’re not engaging in good faith. The least you could do is make my name bigger on that image so people would know to laugh and ridicule you quicker.

        hilarious interaction:

        • i state my interpretation of a text, ask for clarification
        • ”prove it to me”
        • i provide a parallel example to defend my understanding
        • ”you won’t even defend what you said, also i am gonna compare you to violent communists”

        i am still open to evidence by the way. :) it’s insane how quickly you devolved into personal attacks tho
