Other than weakning NATO and ass-fucking his own country with more profoundly stupid "deals" like his trade war with China, how would Trump have pulled Russia away from China? In fact Trump would probably have undermined Ukraine so it's more likely Russia would have already been them with Trump's help, and Russia might be in a stronger position to stand together with China, who might then attack Taiwan.

He was SO BAD at EVERY POLICY. He failed at EVERYTHING except getting tax cuts for himself and the rest of the upper class. That and the judges, who have been slashing US civil rights left and right at all levels.

>how would Trump have pulled Russia away from China?
Russia has only gotten so close to China as of recent due to the effect of Nato and the increased disdain from the west, no country wants to be as in debt to some place like China unless they have to. By being one of the only presidents in the US since Reagen that didn't treat Russia as the great Satan, Trump stood out as being a potential diplomat(if he some better human decency).
Not to say it was guaranteed but there was a possibilty at some cost(plus a miracle) that he would help Russia not be as dependent as it is on China.

Also, fyi before Trump, Obama tried really hard to renew relations with Russia and not treat them like the "great Satan", even laughing at Romney during the 2012 debate for having 1980s anti-Russian paranoia. But after Putin invaded Crimea, all that goodwill was lost. The West has been trying to get Russia to join them at the table for decades, but they refuse to do so.

They're not pro-open brokers. They're tepid border neutral because it's a challenging logistical issue, but they think they might score some points if they decide not to lock kids in chages in a warehouse with the thermostat set to 65 degrees Farenheit.

Republicans are also not pro closed borders. They just don't want immigrants to have any legal means of obtaining rights or protections. They're perfectly okay with immigrant children in meat packing plants - they just don't believe the kids should get paid the federal minimum wage.

Yes. The Ukraine invasion was preceeded by a lengthy spy effort to undermine Ukraine, part of which may actually have involved Trump to a limited extent since Trump was fucking with them too. It was 100% something they knew they wanted to do and were going to do.

One reasoning got thwarted was because the Biden administration began sharing intel with Ukraine and also announcing to the globe at large what Russia's plans were, which helped everyone begin to prepare before Russia attacked. Trump wouldn't have taken that step and would have let the blow land without warning.

Stated reasons for the invasion of Ukraine were the same as when Georgia was invaded. And Crimea. Ukraine and Georgia both stated they wanted to join Nato. The idea of a nato nation bordering Russia was anathema to Putin and threatened to invade. I'd also like to point out that it was Bush Jr who proposed making a plan for Georgia and Ukraine to join Nato; that's not to blame him or say he was responsible, but the invasion of Ukraine goes back a very long ways. Arguably to the end of WW2 and the creation of NATO in the first place which was in no small part a response to expansion of the soviet union.

He was too amicable. Raegan's "trickle down" thing is what he's famous for in terms of how he hurt the nation, but conceptually it's so complicated that some people will still tell you that a tax break for the rich will make the working class better off. It's hard to make short-hand comedy off so at most they make fun of Raegan's dementia sometimes - though that comes across as cruel so it's rare too.

The answer to that is something we may never know, because of course Russia would get sanctioned from the invasion which would further increase tensions between Russia and the west.
The reasons for that whole invasion is such a long winded subject on who did what and why that it is hard to tell if it would still happen.
>Obama tried really hard to renew relations with Russia
He was better than Romney that was for sure, but with the Syrian civil war happening which was in a sense another proxy war between the west and Russia, he wasn't that great, not completely his fault of course.

Trump dissolving NATO might have prevented the invasion, maybe, but you have to understand Putin had plans to invade during the Trump presidency, and he was undergoing a major spy operation to set up the invasion during Trump's tenure. You have to remember he'd also invaded Crimea, and Putin did not like Ukraine having pro-western ideals regardless.

It's not that Trump would have diplomatically solved the problem, but if Trump did enough damage to western coalitions and Ukraine, maybe Ukraine wouldn't have been able to stop an annexation and they'd get annexed without a fight.

The kids of the early 70s were writing the cartoons of the 90s. Seeing the President resign because he committed a crime would have been a big deal for a kid. He's also extremely easily to caricature in a comical way. So you just shove him in when you want to make an easy joke.

It's actually really interesting to look at 90s/early 2000s cartoons and analyse how they are influenced by boomer/early Gen X childhoods

Hard to say. Hypotheticals like these are difficult to answer. The timing of the invasion of Ukraine certainly lines up with Trump's loss to Biden, and Trump did state openly his desire to disband NATO. Though Putin had to know that even if Trump had won, a dismantling of NATO was entirely unlikely.

>>136981572
>>136981571
Polite disagree; even if NATO was not the initial reason for Putin's invasion, he made it about NATO by attempting to annex them to prevent an invasion. Not to mention the west's response to the invasion and support of Ukraine leads me (and this is my personal opinion) to believe that they are wanting to court Ukraine to convince them they're safer with them than trying to remain neutral or a buffer state. This would obviously work to the advantage of the west by having a neighboring nation to Russia a part of NATO. It makes sense that Putin doesn't want that and everybody else does. But aside from that, a proxy war with Russia through Ukraine still strengthens America's interests by putting pressure on Russia without open hostility.

>how would Trump have pulled Russia away from China?
Russia has only gotten so close to China as of recent due to the effect of Nato and the increased disdain from the west, no country wants to be as in debt to some place like China unless they have to. By being one of the only presidents in the US since Reagen that didn't treat Russia as the great Satan, Trump stood out as being a potential diplomat(if he some better human decency).
Not to say it was guaranteed but there was a possibilty at some cost(plus a miracle) that he would help Russia not be as dependent as it is on China.

There is nothing on the square regarding that. It is said on one day that China is supporting Russia, and then the next one that they're not. I'm of the opinion that China supports Russia directly, hence the consolidation of BRICS as a bloc.

That depends on whether you believe Putin invaded Ukraine because of NATO or because of a centuries-long irredentist inertia that even the Soviets shared . This is not the first time that the Russian state has invaded Eastern Europe.

The really issue is that you can say, "Why'd Nixon get in so many cartoons?"

And then when anon tells you why, you bail into another argument about how all these other people did things and they're not in cartoons as often. But here's my thoughts.

Nixon - grumpy, ugly, mean. Known criminal, but he stubbornly denied it anyway. The further we get from his presidency almost the funnier it is to make fun of him.

Raegan - too charismatic. "Trickle down" relied on technical flimflam to avoid being seriously examined, so it's hard to joke about, especially in a kid's show.

Clinton - got picked on while he was president, but a sex scandal isn't that funny honestly. Also his wife was Hillary, so writers never know which party is supposed to be sympathetic. The harm he did was also very technical and takes practically a novel to explain.

Bush W - stupid, but very well-meaning. Got fucking reamed during his time in office, but once he was out of power it was like picking on a disabled child. It just didn't last.

Obama - dry, vanilla, uneventful. His landmark legislation was a healthcare package protecting the status quo. He didn't really do anything funny.

Trump - selfish, basically Nero Ceasar. Not funny, because there's basically zero light present in the Trump administration. It's also why many jokes about him weren't funny. Trump never tried to help anybody, and he didn't care about people, so most observations you can make about him don't have any natural juxtaposition.

Biden - famously old. Defeated by blue dogs again. Doesn't really do anything. Not very funny.

That depends, Ukraine has been a hot pot which resulted in the civil war which lead to the invasion.
Russia definitely wanted Crimea in order to secure the pipelines since it coasted the black sea.
Now Ukraine did say it wanted to be a part of Nato which broke a treaty with Russia that said "if Ukraine joined Nato its ass is grass", so it did give Russia reason to invade by that alone.
Could Russia think of another reason to invade the Uk rain? Maybe. who knows.

Yes. The Ukraine invasion was preceeded by a lengthy spy effort to undermine Ukraine, part of which may actually have involved Trump to a limited extent since Trump was fucking with them too. It was 100% something they knew they wanted to do and were going to do.

One reasoning got thwarted was because the Biden administration began sharing intel with Ukraine and also announcing to the globe at large what Russia's plans were, which helped everyone begin to prepare before Russia attacked. Trump wouldn't have taken that step and would have let the blow land without warning.

Hard to say. Hypotheticals like these are difficult to answer. The timing of the invasion of Ukraine certainly lines up with Trump's loss to Biden, and Trump did state openly his desire to disband NATO. Though Putin had to know that even if Trump had won, a dismantling of NATO was entirely unlikely.

>>136981572
>>136981571
Polite disagree; even if NATO was not the initial reason for Putin's invasion, he made it about NATO by attempting to annex them to prevent an invasion. Not to mention the west's response to the invasion and support of Ukraine leads me (and this is my personal opinion) to believe that they are wanting to court Ukraine to convince them they're safer with them than trying to remain neutral or a buffer state. This would obviously work to the advantage of the west by having a neighboring nation to Russia a part of NATO. It makes sense that Putin doesn't want that and everybody else does. But aside from that, a proxy war with Russia through Ukraine still strengthens America's interests by putting pressure on Russia without open hostility.

People keep thinking there's this big conspiracy about presidents getting ridiculed or not when in reality is super simple.

Some are just easier to write for.

Yes JFK was a terrible president, but most if not all of his actions were just general evil; Boring, nothing to really drive humor from. Nixon meanwhile looked like a goddamn cartoon and him getting round out felt way more cartoonishly evil so it made a good scapegoat.

It's the same thing with Trump, presidents who act so over the top that writing about them is just way easier than Biden or Obama who besides terrible presidencies, they are as funny as cold outmeal.

JFK may have been terrible, but he had a good PR. So his chipper sax loving attitude was up front and made it so the only people that'd understand a more specific joke about JFK's actual run as presidency would need to be up to date on politics.

It's why once the affairs went to light, it was all just about that. Cause that's the stuff the general audiences latched on fast.

TL;DR, a comedy writer if they have to choose between writing about a president's term where they have to count of their audience to read a Wikipedia article or write about how another president where he basically is some goofy silly man that people can understand easy, they'll chose the latter

Because he looks funny and he did a funny, introducing Americans to the concept that leaders can be corrupt and self-serving. He wasn't even that fucking bad - there have been presidents who's policy has had catastrophic effects even decades later (LBJ and Reagan) and presidents who's corruption has been even worse (Hello, Obama and Biden) but Nixon sticks around for the aformentioned reasons.

he made a good fall guy for all the bad press politicians here in America had gotten from the 40s all the way to the boiling point of the hippie movement.
virtually everything Nixon did, LBJ did right before him.
but when you have these people able to blame it all onto one guy, it helps them out, look at the corporate journalists "responsible" for bring it together, there all on the payroll talking about how Trump is a KGB asset and are treated as untouchable experts because of this clout.
and more recent presidents too, Obama used the IRS to target political opponents, and also dropped a bomb every 40 minutes for 8 years but you didn't hear about that in a Family Guy cutaway did you?
people have had raids, documents stolen, constantly by these people in recency but no one compares them.

It's not about writers picking sides, but rather they have to simplify each president to their mayor characteristics. And if for the audience to laugh they need to read articles about actual politics to even get the joke, the joke fails.

>Honestly how did Brazil get to be a part of BRICS?
Brazil actually has a large economy, a large industry and is major exporter; it's just that the country is so corrupt that it trips on its own feet every time it starts running. Brazil is like a warm Russia, except unlike Russia they weren't a parallel major power for the better part of the past century, so on top of that Brazil is a late bloomer.

But Brazil DID run a government-sanctioned corporate syndicate that put and removed presidents, congressmen, judiciaries, etc. across Latin America as they pleased; and its dissolution destabilized the continent more than any memeworthy CIA-led assassination could.

Anyway, Brazil's relations with China expanded during Lula's 1st term; then Bolsonaro sided with Russia on ideological grounds; and after Lula was voted back in, despite campaigning on being a socialist and saying Bolsonaro was a fascist, Lula has chosen to continue Bolsonaro's rapprochement with Russia and going "Mmmm... yeah, actually, Ukraine and NATO are at fault too".

>how would Trump have pulled Russia away from China?
Russia has only gotten so close to China as of recent due to the effect of Nato and the increased disdain from the west, no country wants to be as in debt to some place like China unless they have to. By being one of the only presidents in the US since Reagen that didn't treat Russia as the great Satan, Trump stood out as being a potential diplomat(if he some better human decency).
Not to say it was guaranteed but there was a possibilty at some cost(plus a miracle) that he would help Russia not be as dependent as it is on China.

>>136981212
yes, I know the war began before we got involved, I meant to say 'our involvement".
I know the Gulf of Tonkin was after he died, but pretending US involvement in Vietnam was somehow less when he was president is just disingenuous, there's the rarely used "16k military advisors" meme that is pretty funny.
he sent 1000 home after that monk committed suicide in public and that was it.

They have, but he's always a shitty and unfunny character even before politics because Trump is a shitty and unfunny guy. What Conservatives see in him is that he belittles everything and everyone around him, and refuses to play with the decorum rules most politicians use to avoid talking about all the various elephants in the room. Of course Trump only tears down so that doesn't then lead into something useful to a story. Trump is like Eric Cartman but less sympathetic and less intelligent, and he's actually wealthy and enjoys a lot of protection from repercussions so he never gets knocked down very far. Trump dying of COVID would have been cosmic comedy, but as the president he got access to cutting edge medicine and made a full recovery. He's too real, he's too crappy, it just doesn't work that well.

>Honestly how did Brazil get to be a part of BRICS?
Brazil actually has a large economy, a large industry and is major exporter; it's just that the country is so corrupt that it trips on its own feet every time it starts running. Brazil is like a warm Russia, except unlike Russia they weren't a parallel major power for the better part of the past century, so on top of that Brazil is a late bloomer.

But Brazil DID run a government-sanctioned corporate syndicate that put and removed presidents, congressmen, judiciaries, etc. across Latin America as they pleased; and its dissolution destabilized the continent more than any memeworthy CIA-led assassination could.

Anyway, Brazil's relations with China expanded during Lula's 1st term; then Bolsonaro sided with Russia on ideological grounds; and after Lula was voted back in, despite campaigning on being a socialist and saying Bolsonaro was a fascist, Lula has chosen to continue Bolsonaro's rapprochement with Russia and going "Mmmm... yeah, actually, Ukraine and NATO are at fault too".

The really issue is that you can say, "Why'd Nixon get in so many cartoons?"

And then when anon tells you why, you bail into another argument about how all these other people did things and they're not in cartoons as often. But here's my thoughts.

Nixon - grumpy, ugly, mean. Known criminal, but he stubbornly denied it anyway. The further we get from his presidency almost the funnier it is to make fun of him.

Raegan - too charismatic. "Trickle down" relied on technical flimflam to avoid being seriously examined, so it's hard to joke about, especially in a kid's show.

Clinton - got picked on while he was president, but a sex scandal isn't that funny honestly. Also his wife was Hillary, so writers never know which party is supposed to be sympathetic. The harm he did was also very technical and takes practically a novel to explain.

Bush W - stupid, but very well-meaning. Got fucking reamed during his time in office, but once he was out of power it was like picking on a disabled child. It just didn't last.

Obama - dry, vanilla, uneventful. His landmark legislation was a healthcare package protecting the status quo. He didn't really do anything funny.

Trump - selfish, basically Nero Ceasar. Not funny, because there's basically zero light present in the Trump administration. It's also why many jokes about him weren't funny.

>but pretending US involvement in Vietnam was somehow less when he was president is just disingenuous
It's not disingenuous. It's just false. US involvement absolutely increased during Kennedy. LBJ even more so, but he caught the flack for continuing the policy of Kennedy's interventionalism in the region whereas Kennedy kind of was able to avoid the PR from it.

its clearly accurate.

hey fun fact, did you know Kennedy planned out the whole mid 60s welfare-socialized medicine system in his diary before LBJ carried it out in his memory.

It's funny though because people like JFK look like slimeball politicians too yet nobody ever takes the piss out of him.

Literally was a mob puppet.

The really issue is that you can say, "Why'd Nixon get in so many cartoons?"

And then when anon tells you why, you bail into another argument about how all these other people did things and they're not in cartoons as often. But here's my thoughts.

Nixon - grumpy, ugly, mean. Known criminal, but he stubbornly denied it anyway. The further we get from his presidency almost the funnier it is to make fun of him.

Raegan - too charismatic. "Trickle down" relied on technical flimflam to avoid being seriously examined, so it's hard to joke about, especially in a kid's show.

Clinton - got picked on while he was president, but a sex scandal isn't that funny honestly. Also his wife was Hillary, so writers never know which party is supposed to be sympathetic. The harm he did was also very technical and takes practically a novel to explain.

Bush W - stupid, but very well-meaning. Got fucking reamed during his time in office, but once he was out of power it was like picking on a disabled child. It just didn't last.

Obama - dry, vanilla, uneventful. His landmark legislation was a healthcare package protecting the status quo. He didn't really do anything funny.

Trump - selfish, basically Nero Ceasar. Not funny, because there's basically zero light present in the Trump administration. It's also why many jokes about him weren't funny. Trump never tried to help anybody, and he didn't care about people, so most observations you can make about him don't have any natural juxtaposition.

Biden - famously old. Defeated by blue dogs again. Doesn't really do anything. Not very funny.

>"Trickle down"
I'm about 90% sure Reagan never even said "trickle down" in reference to his policies. (which were not unique or evil and in fact helped us out at different times such as the 1920s, 1950s.)
it seems it was just propaganda, Bush actually did trickle down in the 00s which no one brings up.
>Trump never tried to help anybody, and he didn't care about people,
he helped me and my family out a good bit with the deregs and the tax decrease.

Few people alive today like Nixon, also because he's fun to draw and has a funny voice. If it was a 'conservatives are evil' thing they'd do the same to Reagan but they don't because a fair amount of people like Reagan.
