Due to the recent election results many people are
protesting the outcome. Most of the people protesting are minorities who
believe that Donald Trump is a racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobia, etc.
person. A lot of Trump supporters are very outraged at the protesters, they
think that the democrats should just accept the election results and deal with
it. So while the protests are occurring against Trump, many of his supporters
are attacking and intimidating African-Americans, Muslims, and Latinos in the
streets, at schools, basically everywhere and anywhere. Clay Jones created this
cartoon to address how ironic it was that Trump tweeted that the protests were
unfair even though everything they’re protesting for is valid.
Jones’
purpose was to bring light to the truth behind the protests. He achieves this
by using satire and irony. All of the trump supports are sporting some type of
racist, anti-Semitic, and violent accessory. Jones draws them this way because
this literally what they wear in public. Many Trump supporters walk around with
confederate flags and ‘make America ____ again’ shirts. Then Jones portrays the
three protesters in the middle as scared for their lives because in reality
that’s what they’re doing. Because of the election results and the
personalities of many Trump supports a lot of people feel as if once they step
outside they could be attacked or even killed.
Jones’
audience is everybody in America because there’s a large majority of the
country that feels as if the protests are unwarranted and he wants to point out
to them that they aren’t’, that the people protesting have every right.
