Why are citizens on there 3 times when they are indistinguishable categories and why are they so far to the right when he's already publicly talked about sending citizens to the torture prison?

Damn, I guess the artist really does have to educate the critic.

[-] unmagical@lemmy.ml -3 points 10 months ago

By all means, feel free to educate.

Birthright citizens are those that are born on US soil but their parents weren't citizens of the US. Naturalized citizens are those that took a test and forsaken their former country's citizenship to become citizens of the US. Citizens are those that were born on US soil and their parents were also citizens of the US.

You don't have to renounce old citizenship to be naturalized in the US.

You do if you're from a country that doesn't allow dual citizenship. I mean, it's not a requirement on the U.S. side, but still.

They are all citizens. They have all the same rights. Trump won't draw any distinction between them. Trump has already been attacking the rights of everyone, including citizens.

The graphic implies a sequence or hierarchy (à la "First they came") with Trump either planning to destroy each pillar himself or have them toppled like dominoes. However, this does not accurately reflect the nature of the attacks that have already occurred. Trump did not step through a hierarchy, he attacked everyone that he perceived as a threat to his power--much more similarly to a bomb placed in the middle of the pillars toppling all at once.

Ok

  1. It's a fucking cartoon
  2. A citizen is not a citizen (see LeBron a 2 pointer is not a 2 pointer)

He has very specifically been going after birthright citizenship and has deported children born here because their parents weren’t citizens. That gains it its own category in the cartoon.

Artist probably needed an extra label or two to make the structure look right.

I would like that ceiling to give him a knocking.
