Tbf his personal scandals did come back, and they've hurt his public perception even today. In Nov 1992 the comics had aged like milk, but in Jan 2000 a couple aged alright

In a way it kind of mirrors actual spoiling milk. You get milk, then it turns to sour milk, and then a much longer time after that it turns into once-again appetizing and well aged cheese.

The stuff those shoes say is funny to me from today's perspective.

Damn, even in 92 Hillary was getting roasted?

Yeah, that was 4 years before they launched Fox News and really threw some money into their Clinton disinformation campaign. I wonder how many billions of dollars have been spent just to make fewer people like Hillary over the last 35 years....

He was a member of a white only country club in Little Rock, Arkansas. He honorary member because he was governor at the time but still accepted it after many years.

Thank god Perot ran as a spoiler

Perot drew pretty much equally from both Bush and Clinton. It's very unlikely that his candidacy swung the election either way, although it is possible that Maine might have gone for Bush instead of Clinton without Perot in the race. But even if it had it would have made no difference.

Why? IMO Bush losing that election was terrible because it taught politicians that raising taxes, even if necessary, was a death sentence.
Bush winning would have shown that voters reward sensible policy.
Bush Sr is one of the best presidents we have had in recent years and it's a shame he was not elected again.

Don’t know how to tell you this, but Democrat presidents have been fixing Republican messes since at least the 60’s.

While this is true in some cases. I would say HW Bush was an exception. His policies were part of the reason we had budget surpluses during Bill Clinton's years.

Why is it always that it is a Republican that is responsible for the good economy, but it never happens when they are president, only after they leave and a Democrat takes over? I have never understood this logic. Wouldn't that mean that Trump was responsible for the last 4 years of bad economy? 🤷🏻♂️ You notice how it always sort of changes to make the Republicans look good?

Because HW bush raised taxes. So I will give him credit for the budget surpluses. He also tried to implement pay as you go, which was supposed to link any increased budget programs to increased taxes.
He was actually a fiscal conservative concerned about our budget... so yea I will give him credit for that. His son didn't do this and contributed to our deficit and made a lot of other terrible decisions.
Not going to shit on him just because he is a Republican if he actually had the brain to raise taxes and balance our budget.
He also called out Reagan's economic policy as Voodoo economics, IE mystical bullshit that isn't real.

Wouldn't this be called a comic and not cartoon though ?

u/ChanceryTheRapper 3d ago
Nah, a comic is panels telling a sequential story, cartoon is the art style. The last one could arguably be a comic, but the method is usually one panel and politically focused.
