What's up with the Jupiter and Saturn beams?

Luckily Ben doesn't just label everything he also writes a big post explaining his weird horny comics. He says Jupiter and Saturn aligned are the "Christmas Star". https://grrrgraphics.com/the-christmas-tree-of-liberty/

Too many have accepted the outright theft of a presidential election by the Democrat Socialists or Bolsheviks or whatever they call themselves these days.

I fucking wish we were dealing with bolsheviks.

God I wish marxism was as relevant as it used to be

Whoa I didn't know he wrote these, thanks! His explanation raises more questions than it answers though...

Jupiter overthrew Saturn and Saturn is associated with death??? No idea, this was a notably weird one from Ben Garrison a while back.

This was made around December 2020 during the "Great Saturn and Jupiter Conjunction". From the perspective of the Earth, they had gotten so close together in the sky that they appeared to the naked eye as a single object. Apparently that's called the Christmas Star, and the last time they had gotten that close was 800 years ago.

As for what allegorical purpose they are filling by being in this cartoon, I have no idea.
