#OnThisDay in 1870, #ThomasNast used a donkey to represent the #DemocraticParty in a cartoon is entitled, "A Live Jackass Kicking a Dead Lion"; #BillClinton, #HillaryClinton, #BarackObama, #JoeBiden & #KamalaHarris certainly made asses of progressives who thought they were themselves #progressive~!

‘New York in a Few Years from Now’
Cartoon by #ThomasNast (1840-1902)
*Harper's Weekly*, August 27, 1881
In 1881, Trinity Church was the tallest building in New York, with its spire and cross towering 281 feet into the heavens.
Sepia-toned political cartoon in 19th-century Thomas Nast style. In a boxing ring, a battered donkey with a lump on its head lies dazed as an elephant in old-fashioned trunks smugly holds a “Gerrymander” bat. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts holds up a “TKO” sign. A card on the boxing mat reads “Round 1: Democracy,” and the caption below says, “He brought Policy to a Slobberknocker.”
I wondered how Nast would have commented on the dilemma Dems face with #gerrymandering. Apologies to the purists.

Very #NAST-y #TeslaTakedown OpEd political cartoon (in the #ThomasNast tradition that is)!
#FightOligarchy
OpEd, political cartoonist credit: @jesseduquette.bsky.social
One powerful, attention-getting image by one #Nast-y ( #ThomasNast, that is) OpEd political cartoonist editorialist @zezvaz.bsky.social carried with great force and effect on the protest lines.
Ai Prompt that generated this image: Create graphic image header for website NastyWorks.com that prominently features the domain name NastyWorks.com in a contrasting color font that pops in 3D and includes a portrait of Thomas Nast uttering the phrase “Nasty OpEd political cartoon!#ThomasNast-y, that is!” in a graphic novel inking style.
#Nast-y in the tradition of the great OpEd political cartoonist #ThomasNast who brought down Tammany Hall corruption, created the modern image of Santa Claus, and the donkey 🫏 and elephant 🐘 emblems in use for the Democratic and Republican political parties.
Who was Thomas Nast? 🤓 #ThomasNast

#ThomasNast drew a cartoon depicting the #RepublicanParty as an elephant #OnThisDay in 1874; ever since, the GOP has been represented by a pachyderm — ironic, because #elephants are intelligent & sensitive creatures with long memories, unlike today's #DonaldTrump cult Republicans... http://www.theprogressiveprofessor.com/?p=21709 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Nast
