More classics return

One of my personal favorite strings of commentary on GSS originated on this fine cover, which today is a metaphor for our contemporary American political scene. Happy Independence Day!

contemporary American political scene: which one is which?

Whippy McBlackcoat must be Stephen Miller, making the destructive green monster Trump. Down in brown we have Mitch McConnell, while Lindsay Graham is in green and Mike Johnson jogs along in white. The wreckage in their wake is the national Republican party, and the gloomy green smog is the current economic environment. Analogy complete.

If riding a rampaging space rhino through the market is a regular day's work, I can see some people going for the galactic industrial spy job.

>3 EndofDiskOne: Thanks. Wasn't sure if Trump was the monster or the guy with the whip.

>5 haydninvienna: Skinny gloomy guy with a whip to drive an open-mouthed fat ugly evil critter? @EndofDiskOne has it sorted.
