I made this art piece / cartoon back in 2022, as I watched the US Government censor what could and could not be said on Social Media platforms and some Americans defended and supported that action.
But I didn’t post this because I was intimidated into silence by online people who claim to be the tolerant, "hate has no home here" "diversity is our strength" "all are welcome" "words hurt" people attacking me for not agreeing with their opinions. (See intolerant, hateful bully Tom do that to me
here.)
But now that a U.S. District Court has
granted an injunction against the federal government's "far-reaching censorship campaign", I have decided to post this art piece. But I also have faith that the US Supreme Court will agree with the "tolerant people" in this country and overturn that decision, and rule that censorship by the US Government is good.
My piece is a "cartoon" in the same vein as
Charlie Hebdo cartoons. (Their "cartoon" offended me, but apparently some thought it was "funny" so, I too, can make cartoons that others might find offensive.) My piece and words are also free speech that is protected by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. (Well, it used to be, prior to the ascension of the US Government Ministry of Truth dictating to Social Media Platforms which of their users need to be banned for "misinformation" as defined by the Government.)
I created this using GIMP 2.10.34
The vintage images are from an Internet search. (See the side of my blog for links.)
