I decided to move this topic here away from the National/State Politics category. If @WAPJoe thinks otherwise, I will delete..
This one from 1971 pokes fun at aging politicians. Sound familiar?

F**k these insane trackers, this place is not a healthy debate of issues anymore, just a bunch of folks trying to outdo one another. Where is the cancel account button?

This one mentions a President who is accused of ignoring commissions, but then decides to appoint one to investigate Democrats.
But it's from 1971.

From October, 1972. B.D., one of the Conservative and patriotic characters in the strip, served time in Vietnam, and befriended a Viet Cong "Commie". Here he writes a letter to his friend, and pokes fun at the shape of the Democrats of that period.

Here's a good one from early 1974, on how a national network back then tried to distort the story of a truck driver at a fuel shortage protest.

Is this poking fun at a specific senator, or is it just an ageist joke? All old people are senile? Is that why it's supposedly funny?DennisinMH wrote: ↑Fri Nov 20, 2020 7:51 am This one from 1971 pokes fun at aging politicians. Sound familiar?
